In Inside Hitler”s Bunker, Joachim Fest, Germany’s greatest historian of Nazism describes in vivid detail the claustrophobic atmosphere of the Fuhrer”s bunker during the bitter last days of the war. Drugged and enfeebled, Hitler veered between hysterical despair and lunatic optimism while his regime disintegrated amid desperate acts of betrayal, recrimination and suicide.
