Joachim Feist, the author of "The Last Fourteen Days of the Third Reich", is a German historian and a respected authority on Nazi Germany. He is known as a person who "knows Hitler better than Hitler himself." After collecting, combing, and screening a large number of historical materials (including many brand-new first-hand materials), Feist describes what happened in the last 14 days of Hitler and his Third Reich's demise after they were besieged by the Soviet Red Army in 1945. In a way that is close to the psychology of historical figures, he presents the war situation, the last resistance of the Nazis, the apocalyptic life in the underground bomb shelter of the Reich Chancellery, the wedding of Hitler and Eva Braun, and the process of how both of them committed suicide in the end. In addition to the four narrative chapters, four reflective chapters are also used to discuss how "a country in an extreme state" was involved in the whirlpool of history. The last 14 days of the Third Reich were also the last 14 days of Hitler. Through these 14 days, the causes and consequences of the entire World War II are refracted and revealed, making this book a classic masterpiece.
