The question of how Göring obtained the poison sparked official inquiries, various reviews, heated debates, numerous books and articles, and a range of film and documentary portrayals. Yet, until now, no conclusive or convincing explanation has been offered. The solution to this mystery remained elusive as long as crucial information was missinginformation that only came to light through the accounts of two military personnel who revealed, late in life, that they had been present at that historically significant event in 1945. When combined with records previously compiled by investigators and recently published documents, it is now finally possible to reconstruct the actual sequence of events on that fateful day.
