In the Bunker with Hitler: The Last Witness Speaks
Formats & Editions
The last survivor of the end days of Hitler's bunker tells his story publicly for the first time.
Von Loringhoven was aide-de-camp to Hitler's last two chiefs of staff, and the link between the armies at the front and Hitler in his Berlin bunker. For the last nine months of the Third Reich he was present at the daily military briefings between Hitler and Marshals Keital and Goring. Von Lorninghoven was witness to the ever-growing gap between the reality of reports outside the bunker and Hitler's misunderstanding of the calamity that was encircling the regime.
As the Third Reich spiralled downwards, he watched and recorded Hitler's catastrophic strategic mistakes and the paralysis in which he held his generals. The final weeks of the regime saw Loringhoven living in the bunker until his escape on 29 April when he crossed the Russian lines and was picked up and taken prisoner by the Americans.
