The Moment Germany’s Generals Knew There Would Be No Escape

Описание: In April 1945, as Soviet armies closed in on Berlin, Adolf Hitler made the fateful decision that stunned even his own generals: he would never leave the Führerbunker.

This documentary-style video reconstructs the final days of the Third Reich from inside Hitler’s underground headquarters and the German High Command. We follow:

The April 22 “Steiner attack” conference, when Hitler finally screamed, “The war is lost”
How Keitel and Jodl weakly argued for an escape to the Alpine Redoubt and were overruled
Göring’s infamous telegram from Bavaria and his instant fall from power
Albert Speer’s last visits to the bunker and Hitler’s obsession with avoiding a “Mussolini ending”
Dönitz’s confusion, then elevation as Hitler’s successor, and his attempt to negotiate with the West
The rapid Soviet encirclement of Berlin, collapse of the 9th and 12th Armies, and breakdown of all realistic command
Hitler’s political testament, midnight marriage to Eva Braun, suicide on April 30, and the burning of their bodies
The German High Command’s muted relief at Hitler’s death and their rush to surrender at Reims

If you’re interested in the Battle of Berlin, Hitler’s last days, Nazi leadership, and the psychology of a regime that chose destruction over surrender, this is a detailed, narrative-driven look at how and why Hitler stayed in Berlin—and what his generals really did about it.
