"By early 1945, the destruction of the German Nazi State seems certain. The Allied forces, led by American generals George S. Patton and Dwight D. Eisenhower, are gaining control of Europe, leaving German leaders scrambling. Facing defeat, Adolf Hitler flees to a secret bunker with his new wife, Eva Braun, and his beloved dog, Blondi. It is there that all three would meet their end, thus ending the Third Reich and one of the darkest chapters of history. Hitler's Last Days is a gripping account of the death of one of the most reviled villains of the 20th century--a man whose regime of murder and terror haunts the world even today. Adapted from Bill O'Reilly's historical thriller Killing Patton, this book will have young readers--and grown-ups too--hooked on history"--.

Drawing from the archives of six nations, this history of the siege and fall of Berlin in 1945 describes life in the city at its bleakest hour.

Journal entries chronicle the experiences a young woman had while living in Berlin during the Russian conquest in 1945.

The author reveals for the first time his wartime journals as a young army officer assigned as an aide-de-camp to Adolf Hitler's last two army chiefs of staff.

Examines events of the last weeks of the Third Reich, discussing Hitler's attempts to destroy Germany by ordering the destruction of the infrastructure, his demand that troops keep fighting a lost cause, and his suicide; and considers whether Hitler's rise to power was inevitable or a fluke.
