Harald Sandner describes the last year of World War 2 from the point of view of Adolf Hitler, the man primarily responsible, but also from the perspective of historians with today's knowledge - in greater detail than ever before in the context of military and political contexts. How did Hitler's leadership style change? When did his increasing loss of reality set in? What role did his illnesses play? Was he a drug addict? Was the external decay real or just a fake façade? Was the mind still functioning or was he mentally ill and did not know what he was doing? The book is supplemented by extensive photographic material, including previously unpublished material.
In Hitler's last year there were more deaths than ever before in the history of mankind and ever after. The maelstrom of destruction in which National Socialism sank is unique. Never before have so many lives been snuffed out in the collapse of an empire, so many cities destroyed and entire landscapes devastated. Never has so much suffering and misery been brought upon the world by the decisions of a single person.
