By the spring of 1945, it was clear that the Third Reich was doomed.
Massive numbers of refugees poured from the east to the west of Germany. Allied bombing reduced cities to rubble and ashes, and the number of civilian casualties reached 600,000. The situation inside the country was catastrophic. Communication lines had almost completely ceased to function, freight transport had fallen to a minimum, and three-quarters of industrial capacity had been destroyed. Disappointment and despair reigned everywhere. Since the Soviet offensive, no one in Germany could imagine how to win or even dream of winning this war...
Based on documentary materials, renowned military historian Marlies Steinert analyzes the process of the rapid fall of the Third Reich, the actions, hopes, and thoughts of the political and military leaders who served the regime, which so strangely combined ugly idealism and exorbitant imperial ambitions.
