The final days of a regime spent in an underground bunker
In short: As Berlin collapsed under Soviet pressure, Adolf Hitler retreated into the Führerbunker. This documentary uses newly revealed archives to reconstruct the claustrophobic final hours of the Third Reich.
The film explores the internal implosion of Nazi leadership during April 1945. It highlights a specific moment of betrayal on April 23, when Hermann Göring attempted to claim leadership via an earlier decree; Hitler responded by denouncing him as a traitor and stripping his titles. The documentary also covers the private finality of Hitler's actions, including his marriage to Eva Braun and his political testaments regarding succession.
The narrative follows the timeline from the encirclement of Berlin on April 25 to Hitler's suicide on April 30, 1945. By examining private correspondence and telegrams, it provides a window into how the regime disintegrated both politically and personally before the city surrendered two days later.
