Woman in the Shadows (2016)
“Built by Ernst Sagebiel, the same man responsible for the monumental Air Ministry, its sprawling hangars fanned out in a gigantic arc, intended to resemble the spread wings of an eagle in flight. It was the largest freestanding building in the world. Beneath it, in five levels of underground tunnels, fighter bombers were being assembled, and above, the mile-long roof was arranged in tiers with room for eighty thousand spectators to observe aerobatic displays. The whole place felt less like an air terminal and more like a cathedral devoted to the twin gods of aviation and the Third Reich.
Clara had never been anywhere so big. Standing in the cavernous Hall of Glory, still uncompleted, she was utterly disoriented. The place was so vast, the distances between points of focus so great, that she felt disembodied, all her senses adrift. It was like being trapped inside a Cubist painting with perspective going in all directions and she felt an incipient dizziness from looking too hard.
