Hitler's Last Days
“THE BATTLE rages nonstop. Russian troops advance street by street, slowly taking control of the city. The young boys and old men enlisted as a last line of German defense now tear off their uniforms and armbands, frantically changing back into civilian clothing to avoid being murdered. Those who chose to stand and fight are now retreating into the heart of the city. An attempt to blow up vital bridges to stall the Russian advance ends in tragedy when an underground railway tunnel is mistakenly ...detonated. Inside are thousands of civilians and wounded soldiers trying to avoid the shelling aboveground. Rumors spread that hundreds drown as the four-mile-long tunnel floods with water.
Nazi leaflets litter the city, dropped from one of the few remaining Luftwaffe aircraft. “Persevere!” they read. “General Wenck and General Steiner are coming to the aid of Berlin.”
