A first-person account of the days when Gerhard Boldt attended the daily meetings between Hitler and his generals in the Berlin bunker, until just hours before the dictator's suicide and the fall of the Third Reich. It reflects the oppressive atmosphere of a regime with everyday details such as rats roaming the corridors, the desperate drunkenness of the most loyal followers, and the murders of Goebbels' children alongside Hitler. The day before Hitler's suicide, Boldt receives permission to leave the bunker. He manages to cross the Soviet lines and is arrested by the British. In captivity, he writes down his experiences in notebooks, which decades later form this shocking testimony that includes anecdotes and vivid portraits of the Nazi environment: Himmler, Bormann, Keitel, Goering... The work combines unadorned description, documentary interest, and moral judgment, revealing the psychology and arrogance of the Nazi hierarchy.
