2
00:00:08,330 --> 00:00:11,070
NAZI GERMANY IS ABOUT TO FALL.

3
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,200
HIDING IN AN UNDERGROUND BUNKER
BENEATH THE CITY

4
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:16,880
IS ADOLF HITLER,

5
00:00:16,910 --> 00:00:21,710
THE MAN WHO PLUNGED THE WORLD
INTO SIX YEARS OF TOTAL WAR.

6
00:00:21,740 --> 00:00:24,480
HITLER HAD SWORN TO MAKE
THE NAZIS A WORLD POWER,

7
00:00:24,510 --> 00:00:26,150
INSPIRING HIS ADORING PEOPLE

8
00:00:26,180 --> 00:00:29,050
WITH HIS VISION
OF A THOUSAND-YEAR RULE.

9
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,950
HIS ARMIES HAD RAVAGED OVER
3 MILLION SQUARE MILES OF EUROPE

10
00:00:32,990 --> 00:00:37,800
AND IGNITED A WORLD WAR
THAT KILLED 55 MILLION PEOPLE.

11
00:00:40,630 --> 00:00:43,800
NOW HITLER'S WORLD IS SHRIVELED
TO A FEW CRAMPED ROOMS

12
00:00:43,830 --> 00:00:47,770
BELOW THE RUINS OF BERLIN.

13
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,040
ABOVE HIM THE SOVIET ARMY
ADVANCES THROUGH THE CITY,

14
00:00:51,070 --> 00:00:55,410
TIGHTENING THE NOOSE AS THEY
HUNT DOWN THE NAZI LEADER.

15
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,210
THIS FILM GOES
INSIDE HITLER'S BUNKER

16
00:00:58,250 --> 00:01:00,520
TO HEAR PREVIOUSLY
UNTOLD STORIES

17
00:01:00,550 --> 00:01:03,690

IN EXTRAORDINARY
FILM INTERVIEWS,

19
00:01:07,090 --> 00:01:09,930
LOST TO THE WORLD
FOR NEARLY 70 YEARS,

20
00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:11,960
WE HEAR FROM THE PEOPLE
WHO WERE THERE

21
00:01:11,990 --> 00:01:16,960
WHAT HAPPENED
ON THE DAY HITLER DIED.

22
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,300
THE ARMY MAJOR WHO KNEW
THAT TO ADMIT DEFEAT

23
00:01:19,330 --> 00:01:21,270
TO THE FUHRER MEANT DEATH.

24
00:01:21,300 --> 00:01:22,840
Man: HE WANTED TO LIVE.

25
00:01:22,870 --> 00:01:27,410
HE LOVED POWER LIKE
A MISER LOVES GOLD.

26
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,880
Narrator: THE SECRETARY WHO
TYPED HITLER'S LAST WILL

27
00:01:29,910 --> 00:01:31,910
AND POLITICAL TESTAMENT.

28
00:01:31,950 --> 00:01:35,220
Woman: FOR YEARS
HE HAD BEEN TAKING MEDICINES,

29
00:01:35,250 --> 00:01:38,790
DRUGS AND INJECTIONS.

30
00:01:38,820 --> 00:01:40,690
Narrator: THE LEADER
OF THE HITLER YOUTH

31
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,360
WHO WAS THE FIRST TO SEE
THE FUHRER'S BODY.

32
00:01:43,390 --> 00:01:47,330
Man: THE BLAST OF THE PISTOL
HAD RUPTURED THE VEINS

33
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,900
ON EITHER SIDE OF HIS HEAD.

34
00:01:49,930 --> 00:01:52,630
Narrator: THESE WITNESSES
FROM INSIDE HITLER'S BUNKER

35
00:01:52,670 --> 00:01:56,440
WERE FILMED JUST
AFTER WORLD WAR II.

36
00:01:56,470 --> 00:01:59,640
THEIR TESTIMONIES LAY FORGOTTEN
IN AMERICAN ARCHIVES

37
00:01:59,670 --> 00:02:02,610
AND HAVE ONLY RECENTLY
BEEN REDISCOVERED.

38
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,940
Man: DID HE EXPECT OTHERS
TO COMMIT SUICIDE WITH HIM?

39
00:02:05,980 --> 00:02:08,120
Woman: YES, EVA BRAUN.

40
00:02:08,150 --> 00:02:11,150
Man: THE BUNKER BECAME
A MORTUARY

41
00:02:11,190 --> 00:02:14,430
AND THE PEOPLE IN IT
LIVING CORPSES.

42
00:02:14,460 --> 00:02:15,530
Narrator:
NONE OF THESE WITNESSES

43
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,960
HAD EVER SPOKEN
ON CAMERA BEFORE.

44
00:02:17,990 --> 00:02:21,190
THEIR MEMORIES HAVE ALLOWED US
TO RECONSTRUCT IN DETAIL

45
00:02:21,230 --> 00:02:24,770
THE BUNKER AND THE ACTIONS
OF THE PEOPLE WHO WITNESSED

46
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:30,170
THE END OF THE NAZI THIRD REICH
AND HITLER'S FINAL HOURS.

47
00:02:30,210 --> 00:02:32,410
Man: WAS THERE ANY DOUBT
IN YOUR MIND

48
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,140
THAT HE WAS GOING TO DIE?

49
00:02:34,180 --> 00:02:36,180
Man: NONE WHATSOEVER.

50
00:02:36,210 --> 00:02:42,950
♪

51
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,000
Narrator: THIS IS THE LAST TIME
THAT ADOLF HITLER

52
00:02:53,030 --> 00:02:54,700
IS EVER SEEN IN PUBLIC;

53
00:02:54,730 --> 00:02:57,500
THE LAST TIME HE IS EVER
CAPTURED ON FILM.

54
00:02:57,530 --> 00:03:00,800
HE HAS BEEN FUHRER
OF NAZI GERMANY FOR 12 YEARS,

55
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,080
BUT AT THIS MOMENT,

56
00:03:02,100 --> 00:03:04,540
AS HE AWARDS MEDALS
TO BOYS OF THE HITLER YOUTH

57
00:03:04,570 --> 00:03:08,310
FORCED INTO COMBAT,
HE IS DAYS AWAY FROM DEFEAT...

58
00:03:08,340 --> 00:03:10,280
AND FROM DEATH.

59
00:03:16,150 --> 00:03:18,950
HITLER'S TROOPS ONCE OCCUPIED
MOST OF EUROPE,

60
00:03:18,990 --> 00:03:20,490
BUT NOW THE THIRD REICH
IS REDUCED

61
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,760
TO A DESPERATE DEFENSE
OF BERLIN.

62
00:03:23,790 --> 00:03:25,890
THE GERMAN CAPITAL
IS SURROUNDED.

63
00:03:25,930 --> 00:03:28,530
BRITISH AND AMERICAN FORCES
FIGHT IN THE WEST

64
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:33,770
AND THE FEROCIOUS SOVIET ARMY
ADVANCES FROM THE EAST.

65
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,070
THE MAN WHO CONQUERED OVER
3 MILLION SQUARE MILES OF EUROPE

66
00:03:37,110 --> 00:03:38,210
IS NOW CONFINED

67
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,750
TO A CLAUSTROPHOBIC
UNDERGROUND BUNKER.

68
00:03:42,780 --> 00:03:45,180
BURIED 30 FEET BENEATH
HIS HEADQUARTERS,

69
00:03:45,210 --> 00:03:48,280
THE FUHRERBUNKER WAS
CONSTRUCTED IN 1944

70
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,490
IN RESPONSE TO HEAVIER
ALLIED BOMBING.

71
00:03:52,890 --> 00:03:55,630
THE CEILING AND WALLS
ARE 12 FEET THICK,

72
00:03:55,660 --> 00:03:59,330
ENCASING A NETWORK
OF 16 CRAMPED ROOMS.

73
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,600
LYING BELOW THE CITY'S
SEWAGE SYSTEM,

74
00:04:01,630 --> 00:04:05,970
FOUR FLIGHTS OF STEPS LEAD
INTO THIS SUBTERRANEAN REFUGE...

75
00:04:08,900 --> 00:04:13,510
...WHERE HITLER HAS BEEN
HOLED UP FOR FOUR MONTHS.

76
00:04:16,750 --> 00:04:19,790
THE CORRIDOR IS DECORATED
WITH LOOTED ART.

77
00:04:19,810 --> 00:04:22,150
A GRANDFATHER CLOCK
IN HITLER'S STUDY

78
00:04:22,180 --> 00:04:24,680
IS THE ONLY WAY
OF TELLING THE TIME.

79
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,620
HIS PRIVATE SITTING ROOM IS
CRAMMED WITH OVERSIZED FURNITURE

80
00:04:27,660 --> 00:04:31,260
BROUGHT DOWN FROM HIS
HEADQUARTERS ABOVE.

81
00:04:31,290 --> 00:04:33,890
NEXT TO HIS BED
STANDS AN OXYGEN TANK

82
00:04:33,930 --> 00:04:36,630
IN CASE THE VENTILATION
SHOULD FAIL.

83
00:04:40,070 --> 00:04:41,710
HITLER DISAPPEARS
INTO THIS UNDERWORLD

84
00:04:41,740 --> 00:04:45,240
FOR THE FINAL TIME
IN APRIL 1945.

85
00:04:45,270 --> 00:04:47,940
THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED IN THE BUNKER

86
00:04:47,980 --> 00:04:50,520
ARE THOSE TRAPPED HERE WITH HIM.

87
00:04:53,150 --> 00:04:55,190
SIX MONTHS AFTER THE WAR
HAS ENDED,

88
00:04:55,220 --> 00:04:58,660
THE NUREMBERG
WAR CRIME TRIALS BEGIN.

89
00:04:58,690 --> 00:05:01,860
NAZI LEADERS ARE PROSECUTED
FOR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY,

90
00:05:01,890 --> 00:05:04,390
BUT HITLER ISN'T ON THE LIST.

91
00:05:04,490 --> 00:05:08,160
THERE ARE RUMORS
HE'S STILL ALIVE.

92
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,070
NUREMBERG JUDGE
AND U.S. NAVY LAWYER

93
00:05:10,100 --> 00:05:11,800
CAPTAIN MICHAEL MUSMANNO

94
00:05:11,830 --> 00:05:13,070
DECIDES TO TRACK DOWN

95
00:05:13,100 --> 00:05:15,570
EYEWITNESSES TO HITLER'S
FINAL DAYS.

96
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:20,640
HIS MISSION: TO PROVE
THE FUHRER IS DEAD.

97
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,350
MUSMANNO'S SEARCH TAKES HIM
ACROSS GERMANY.

98
00:05:23,380 --> 00:05:26,380
OVER TWO YEARS HE SPEAKS TO
MORE THAN A HUNDRED PEOPLE,

99
00:05:26,410 --> 00:05:31,320
EVERYWHERE FROM PRISONS,
INTERNMENT CAMPS AND IN HIDING.

100
00:05:31,350 --> 00:05:35,150
IN 1948 MUSMANNO CAPTURES
HIS FINDINGS ON FILM.

101
00:05:35,190 --> 00:05:38,230
Michael Musmanno: I HAVE BROUGHT
A NUMBER OF EYEWITNESSES

102
00:05:38,260 --> 00:05:42,330
ON THE SUBJECT
OF HITLER'S DISAPPEARANCE.

103
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,960
IN THEIR OWN WORDS THEY WILL
TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED

104
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,640
TO THE FUHRER OF GERMANY.

105
00:05:50,670 --> 00:05:52,770
Narrator: THE WITNESSES
MUSMANNO BRINGS TOGETHER

106
00:05:52,810 --> 00:05:53,880
ARE SURVIVING MEMBERS

107
00:05:53,910 --> 00:05:56,180
OF HITLER'S CIVILIAN
AND MILITARY STAFF

108
00:05:56,210 --> 00:05:58,980
WHO WERE WITH HIM
IN THE FUHRERBUNKER.

109
00:05:59,010 --> 00:06:01,580
THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN INTERVIEWED
ON CAMERA BEFORE

110
00:06:01,620 --> 00:06:03,890
AND NEED TO REHEARSE
THEIR STATEMENTS IN ENGLISH

111
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,790
OR SPEAK THROUGH A TRANSLATOR.

112
00:06:06,820 --> 00:06:10,760
Musmanno: THE FIRST WITNESS
WILL BE FRAU TRAUDL JUNGE,

113
00:06:10,790 --> 00:06:13,130
HITLER'S SECRETARY.

114
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,360
Narrator: TRAUDL JUNGE STARTED
WORKING FOR HITLER IN 1942

115
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,500
WHEN SHE WAS ONLY 22 YEARS OLD.

116
00:06:19,500 --> 00:06:22,040
ONCE SHE'D DREAMED
OF BEING A DANCER.

117
00:06:22,070 --> 00:06:24,010
WAR PUT AN END TO THAT.

118
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,740
HITLER SELECTED HER BECAUSE
SHE WAS FROM BAVARIA,

119
00:06:26,780 --> 00:06:29,050
HIS FAVORITE PART OF GERMANY.

120
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,850
SHE MARRIED AN SS OFFICER
FROM HITLER'S STAFF.

121
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,380
HE DIED IN COMBAT A YEAR LATER.

122
00:07:10,890 --> 00:07:13,060
Narrator: BY APRIL 1945

123
00:07:13,090 --> 00:07:16,590
NO ONE WRITES LOVE LETTERS
TO THE FUHRER.

124
00:07:16,630 --> 00:07:20,630
AS BERLIN BURNS AND
THE SOVIET ARMY CLOSES IN,

125
00:07:20,660 --> 00:07:24,000
HITLER HIDES
IN HIS UNDERGROUND BUNKER.

126
00:07:24,030 --> 00:07:27,200
SECRETARY TRAUDL JUNGE
IS DOWN HERE WITH HIM.

127
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:33,950
Musmanno: FRAU JUNGE, WHAT WAS
HITLER'S HEALTH IN APRIL 1945?

128
00:07:33,980 --> 00:07:36,650
Junge: HIS HEALTH WAS VERY BAD.

129
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:42,320
FOR YEARS HE HAD BEEN TAKING
MEDICINES, DRUGS AND INJECTIONS.

130
00:07:42,350 --> 00:07:48,260
DURING HIS LAST DAYS HE HAD
A CONSTANT TREMOR IN HIS HANDS.

131
00:07:48,290 --> 00:07:51,960
AND IN FRONT OF STRANGERS
I THINK HE WAS A LITTLE ASHAMED

132
00:07:51,990 --> 00:07:56,090
OF HIS AFFLICTION
AND WOULD TRY TO HIDE IT.

133
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,540
Narrator: AS THE SOVIETS FIGHT
THEIR WAY INTO BERLIN,

134
00:08:02,570 --> 00:08:06,170
HITLER REFUSES TO ACCEPT
THE WAR IS LOST.

135
00:08:06,210 --> 00:08:09,050
HE IS ATTENDED IN THE BUNKER
BY MORE THAN A DOZEN GENERALS,

136
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,780
ADJUTANTS AND AIDES DE CAMP.

137
00:08:11,810 --> 00:08:15,110
TWICE A DAY HE CALLS A MILITARY
CONFERENCE IN AN AIRLESS ROOM

138
00:08:15,150 --> 00:08:18,220
WHERE ONLY HE IS
PERMITTED TO SIT.

139
00:08:18,250 --> 00:08:20,090
ONE OF THE MILITARY MEN
TRAPPED WITH HITLER

140
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,320
IS BARON VON LORINGHOVEN.

141
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,560
HE'S AN ARISTOCRAT
WITH THE RANK OF MAJOR

142
00:08:24,590 --> 00:08:26,860
BUT HAS NEVER JOINED
THE NAZI PARTY.

143
00:08:26,900 --> 00:08:28,770
HE HAS A WIFE AND YOUNG SON

144
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:33,370
AND HAS COME TO REGARD
HITLER AS INSANE.

145
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,070
Musmanno: BARON LORINGHOVEN,

146
00:08:35,100 --> 00:08:39,400
HOW LARGE WAS THE MAP ROOM IN
WHICH YOU HELD YOUR CONFERENCES?

147
00:08:39,510 --> 00:08:42,350
Baron von Loringhoven: IT WAS
ABOUT THREE BY FOUR METERS,

148
00:08:42,380 --> 00:08:47,720
AND WITH 15 PEOPLE CROWDED INTO
IT, THE ATMOSPHERE WAS STIFLING.

149
00:08:47,750 --> 00:08:49,920
Musmanno: BUT WHAT DID YOU HAVE
TO DISCUSS?

150
00:08:49,950 --> 00:08:51,290
THE WAR WAS LOST.

151
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,090
Loringhoven:
YES, BUT NO ONE DARED

152
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,460
TO MENTION DEFEAT TO HITLER.

153
00:08:55,490 --> 00:08:58,930
TO DO SO ONE COULD
LOSE ONE'S LIFE.

154
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:03,300
IN ADDITION, ONE'S ENTIRE FAMILY
WOULD BE JEOPARDIZED.

155
00:09:05,270 --> 00:09:09,770
HE STILL KEPT UP HIS HOPES
BY HINTING AT SECRET WEAPONS

156
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,270
AND OF DISSENSIONS
BETWEEN THE ALLIES.

157
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,820
Narrator: ONE AND A HALF MILLION
SOVIET SOLDIERS

158
00:09:17,850 --> 00:09:20,020
BEGIN ENTERING BERLIN.

159
00:09:20,050 --> 00:09:24,220
THE GERMAN DEFENDERS ARE
OUTNUMBERED THREE TO ONE.

160
00:09:24,250 --> 00:09:26,750
THEY KNOW THAT THE WAR IS LOST.

161
00:09:29,490 --> 00:09:32,730
BUT HITLER HAS BEEN LOSING
HIS GRIP ON REALITY FOR WEEKS.

162
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,230
THE BUNKER IS WITHIN RANGE
OF THE SOVIET GUNS,

163
00:09:35,260 --> 00:09:38,930
YET HE STILL THINKS
HE CAN FIGHT BACK.

164
00:09:38,970 --> 00:09:42,110
HEINZ LORENZ IS THE
FUHRERBUNKER'S PRESS ATTACHE.

165
00:09:42,140 --> 00:09:44,840
HE'S BEEN PART OF HITLER'S
INNER CIRCLE THROUGHOUT THE WAR

166
00:09:44,870 --> 00:09:49,440
AND OFTEN SITS UP LATE WITH THE
FUHRER TALKING AND DRINKING TEA.

167
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,940
Musmanno: MR. LORENZ, I SHOULD
LIKE TO HAVE YOU TELL ME

168
00:09:52,980 --> 00:09:58,320
THE MOST IMPRESSIVE MOMENTS
THAT YOU ASSOCIATE WITH HITLER.

169
00:09:58,350 --> 00:10:00,790
Heinz Lorenz: WELL,
THERE WERE TWO SUCH MOMENTS.

170
00:10:00,820 --> 00:10:05,630
THE FIRST OCCURRED APRIL 12th,
WHEN I BROUGHT HIM THE NEWS

171
00:10:05,660 --> 00:10:08,360
THAT ROOSEVELT, THE PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES,

172
00:10:08,460 --> 00:10:10,930
HAD PASSED AWAY.

173
00:10:10,970 --> 00:10:12,370
Reporter: FROM HIS BELOVED
SECOND HOME

174
00:10:12,470 --> 00:10:14,240
AT WARM SPRINGS, GEORGIA,

175
00:10:14,270 --> 00:10:16,170
THE BODY OF
FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT

176
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,200
MOVES ON THE FIRST STAGES
OF ITS JOURNEY

177
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,240
TO HIS FINAL RESTING PLACE.

178
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:24,280
Lorenz: HITLER WENT INTO A DANCE
AND CONGRATULATED HIMSELF

179
00:10:24,310 --> 00:10:28,280
AS IF HE HAD HIMSELF
BROUGHT ABOUT THIS EVENT.

180
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:32,360
HE EXCLAIMED, "THIS WILL MEAN
I WILL WIN THE WAR.

181
00:10:32,390 --> 00:10:33,990
THIS IS OUR VICTORY."

182
00:10:34,020 --> 00:10:38,190
TEN DAYS LATER,
THE OTHER EVENT OCCURRED,

183
00:10:38,230 --> 00:10:42,230
AND THIS TIME HIS FEELINGS
WENT TO THE OTHER EXTREME.

184
00:10:45,030 --> 00:10:46,430
Narrator: THE RED ARMY
JUGGERNAUT

185
00:10:46,430 --> 00:10:49,630
ROLLS INTO THE NORTHERN
PART OF BERLIN.

186
00:10:49,670 --> 00:10:51,640
THE ONLY DEFENSE HERE IS
A RAGTAG COLLECTION

187
00:10:51,670 --> 00:10:54,570
OF INEXPERIENCED UNITS.

188
00:10:54,610 --> 00:10:57,350
HITLER ORDERS THEM
TO ATTACK THE SOVIETS,

189
00:10:57,450 --> 00:10:59,020
WARNING THAT THE FATE
OF THE GERMAN CAPITAL

190
00:10:59,050 --> 00:11:01,450
IS IN THEIR HANDS.

191
00:11:01,450 --> 00:11:06,120
IT'S A SUICIDE MISSION,
AND HITLER'S SOLDIERS REFUSE.

192
00:11:06,150 --> 00:11:09,620
Lorenz: HIS ARMIES WERE
DEFEATED ON ALL FRONTS

193
00:11:09,660 --> 00:11:11,960
AND BERLIN WAS THREATENED.

194
00:11:11,990 --> 00:11:14,130
HE ORDERED HIS TROOPS FORWARD,

195
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:20,270
TO STOP THE ADVANCE, BUT
THE TROOPS FAILED TO ATTACK.

196
00:11:20,300 --> 00:11:23,840
THE SHOCK OF REALIZATION
THAT HE, ADOLF HITLER,

197
00:11:23,870 --> 00:11:25,470
HAD BEEN DISOBEYED

198
00:11:25,470 --> 00:11:30,780
AND THAT COMPLETE DISASTER WAS
INEVITABLE WAS TOO MUCH FOR HIM.

199
00:11:32,780 --> 00:11:38,050
HE COLLAPSED AND HE SAID, "IT'S
ALL OVER AND I'LL SHOOT MYSELF."

200
00:11:41,690 --> 00:11:43,630
Narrator: FOR OVER A DECADE
HITLER HAS BEEN,

201
00:11:43,660 --> 00:11:47,830
IN THE EYES OF HIS FOLLOWERS,
AN INVINCIBLE DEMI-GOD.

202
00:11:47,860 --> 00:11:52,630
NOW HIS INNER CIRCLE ARE STUNNED
BY THIS ANNOUNCEMENT.

203
00:11:52,670 --> 00:11:56,740
SECRETARY TRAUDL JUNGE
SEES HIM MOMENTS LATER.

204
00:11:56,770 --> 00:12:00,240
Musmanno: DID YOU EVER HEAR HIM
MENTION SUICIDE?

205
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,820
Junge: YES,
AFTER APRIL THE 22nd,

206
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,610
HE TALKED ABOUT IT CONSTANTLY,

207
00:12:05,650 --> 00:12:10,120
IN ORDER THAT THERE SHOULD BE
NO DOUBT ABOUT HIS DEATH.

208
00:12:10,150 --> 00:12:13,450
HE MADE PLANS TO TAKE POISON

209
00:12:13,460 --> 00:12:17,900
AND AT THE SAME TIME
SHOOT HIMSELF WITH HIS PISTOL.

210
00:12:17,930 --> 00:12:21,730
Narrator: HITLER ORDERS HIS SAFE
EMPTIED AND THE CONTENTS BURNED.

211
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,060
HE ALSO REMOVES HIS WALTHER PPK
PISTOL FROM THE SAFE

212
00:12:25,100 --> 00:12:28,170
AND SITS WITH IT STARING AT A
PORTRAIT OF FREDERICK THE GREAT,

213
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,240
THE PRUSSIAN KING WHO ALSO
VOWED TO KILL HIMSELF

214
00:12:31,270 --> 00:12:35,370
WHEN THE RUSSIANS
THREATENED BERLIN.

215
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,180
Musmanno: WHAT WAS YOUR ATTITUDE

216
00:12:37,210 --> 00:12:41,480
REGARDING HITLER'S INTENTION
TO COMMIT SUICIDE?

217
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,820
Junge: I TOLD HIM
IF HE INTENDED TO DIE,

218
00:12:43,850 --> 00:12:49,020
THE PLACE TO DIE WOULD BE
IN BATTLE LEADING HIS TROOPS.

219
00:12:49,060 --> 00:12:52,730
BUT HE SAID HE FEARED THAT
HE MIGHT ONLY BE WOUNDED

220
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:57,700
AND CAPTURED, AND THEN
THE RUSSIANS WOULD DEGRADE HIM.

221
00:12:57,730 --> 00:13:02,070
Musmanno: DID HE EXPECT OTHERS
TO COMMIT SUICIDE WITH HIM?

222
00:13:02,100 --> 00:13:04,140
Junge: YES, EVA BRAUN.

223
00:13:06,910 --> 00:13:10,810
Narrator: EVA BRAUN FIRST MET
HITLER IN 1929 WHEN SHE WAS 17

224
00:13:10,850 --> 00:13:14,050

A NAZI PARTY PHOTOGRAPHER.

ALTHOUGH 23 YEARS
YOUNGER THAN HIM,

226
00:13:18,190 --> 00:13:21,730
BRAUN HAS BEEN HITLER'S MISTRESS
FOR 14 YEARS,

227
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,360
BUT THE RELATIONSHIP
IS BEING KEPT HIDDEN

228
00:13:23,390 --> 00:13:26,130
FROM THE GERMAN PEOPLE.

229
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:27,760
HITLER WANTS TO REMAIN
ATTRACTIVE

230
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,870
TO HIS FEMALE ADMIRERS

231
00:13:29,900 --> 00:13:31,570
AND HAS GROOMED BRAUN TO REFRAIN

232
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,270
FROM PUBLIC DISPLAYS
OF AFFECTION.

233
00:13:37,510 --> 00:13:39,580
THEIR PRIVATE LIFE TOGETHER
IN THE BUNKER

234
00:13:39,610 --> 00:13:44,250

CONCRETE ROOMS.

235
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,880
THEY SLEEP SEPARATELY.

236
00:13:49,150 --> 00:13:52,090
SHE'S HERE IN THE BUNKER
AGAINST HITLER'S WISHES,

237
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,660
BUT REFUSES TO LEAVE.

238
00:13:54,690 --> 00:13:58,390
BRAUN'S FAMILY DO NOT APPROVE
OF HER AFFAIR WITH THE FUHRER.

Musmanno: MADAM BRAUN,
WHAT WAS HITLER'S HEALTH LIKE

242
00:14:07,970 --> 00:14:09,510
WHEN YOU LAST SAW HIM?

243
00:14:09,540 --> 00:14:12,510
Ilse Braun: HIS FACE WAS
GRAY AS ASHES,

244
00:14:12,540 --> 00:14:16,950
HIS HANDS WERE IN A CONSTANT
STATE OF AGITATION,

245
00:14:16,980 --> 00:14:20,350
AND HIS EYES WERE GLASSY.

246
00:14:20,380 --> 00:14:23,520
HE WAS KIND OF LIKE AN OLD MAN.

247
00:14:23,550 --> 00:14:28,390

ENCIRCLED THE CITY

332
00:19:23,650 --> 00:19:26,620
AND MEETS UP WITH
THE U.S. TROOPS IN THE WEST.

333
00:19:26,660 --> 00:19:27,760
GENERAL EISENHOWER,

334
00:19:27,790 --> 00:19:29,860
SUPREME COMMANDER
OF THE ALLIED FORCES,

335
00:19:29,890 --> 00:19:32,290
HAS AGREED TO LET THE SOVIETS
TAKE BERLIN.

[EXPLOSION]

337
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,540
THEY WANT HITLER ALIVE,

338
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,500
AND AS THEY FIGHT THEIR WAY
TO THE FUHRERBUNKER

339
00:19:37,500 --> 00:19:39,070
STREET BY STREET,

340
00:19:39,100 --> 00:19:42,370
THEY'RE CALLING IT THE BIGGEST
MANHUNT IN HISTORY.

341
00:19:44,340 --> 00:19:48,310
HITLER TRIES ONE LAST DESPERATE
TACTIC TO SAVE HIMSELF.

342
00:19:48,340 --> 00:19:49,980
50 MILES TO THE SOUTHWEST
OF BERLIN

343
00:19:50,010 --> 00:19:53,780
IS THE 12th GERMAN ARMY
COMMANDED BY GENERAL WENCK.

344
00:19:53,820 --> 00:19:57,060
IT FACES THE AMERICAN ADVANCE
ON THE RIVER ELBE.

345
00:19:57,090 --> 00:19:59,630
HITLER ORDERS WENCK
AND HIS 70,000 MEN

346
00:19:59,650 --> 00:20:02,450
TO REVERSE COURSE
AND COME TO HIS AID.

347
00:20:02,460 --> 00:20:05,900
Loringhoven: HITLER HOPED THAT
WENCK'S ARMY WOULD BREAK THROUGH

348
00:20:05,930 --> 00:20:07,470
TO RELIEVE BERLIN.

349
00:20:07,500 --> 00:20:09,100
Musmanno: WHERE WAS WENCK?

350
00:20:09,130 --> 00:20:10,600
Loringhoven: ON THE ELBE.

351
00:20:10,630 --> 00:20:14,570
HE STORMED AHEAD WITH A FEW
TROOPS AS FAR AS POTSDAM,

352
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:19,640
BUT HE WAS HOPELESSLY
OUTNUMBERED AND OUT-EQUIPPED.

353
00:20:19,670 --> 00:20:21,610
Narrator: THE SOVIET BOMBARDMENT
NOW HOMES IN

354
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,340
ON HITLER'S POSITION.

355
00:20:23,380 --> 00:20:28,120
SHELLS LAND SO CLOSE TO
THE BUNKER, IT SHAKES,

356
00:20:28,150 --> 00:20:31,950
FILLING THE AIR AND COVERING
SURFACES WITH CONCRETE DUST.

357
00:20:31,990 --> 00:20:35,190
THE LIGHTS FREQUENTLY FAIL.

358
00:20:35,220 --> 00:20:39,560
EACH DAY HITLER TAKES TEA AND
CRUMPETS WITH HIS SECRETARY.

359
00:20:39,590 --> 00:20:43,560
AND EACH DAY HE DEMANDS TO KNOW
WHEN WENCK WILL COME.

360
00:20:45,670 --> 00:20:48,210
BUT UNKNOWN TO HITLER,
WENCK HAS DISOBEYED THE ORDER

361
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:52,580
TO RELIEVE BERLIN AND IS INSTEAD
HELPING CIVILIANS FLEE.

362
00:20:52,610 --> 00:20:55,480
Loringhoven: NONETHELESS,
EACH DAY HITLER WANTED TO KNOW

363
00:20:55,510 --> 00:20:57,350
WHERE WENCK WAS.

364
00:20:57,450 --> 00:21:03,090
Musmanno: BUT, BARON, HADN'T
HITLER ALREADY DECIDED TO DIE?

365
00:21:03,120 --> 00:21:04,350
Loringhoven: YES.

366
00:21:04,450 --> 00:21:06,290
BUT HE WANTED TO LIVE.

367
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,960
HE LOVED POWER LIKE
A MISER LOVES GOLD.

368
00:21:14,530 --> 00:21:17,470
Narrator: FOR FIVE DAYS
HITLER CLINGS TO THE DELUSION

369
00:21:17,470 --> 00:21:20,140
THAT HIS ARMY WILL
RELIEVE BERLIN.

370
00:21:20,170 --> 00:21:23,170
BARON VON LORINGHOVEN'S DUTY
IS TO PROVIDE THE FUHRER

371
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,270
WITH INTELLIGENCE UPDATES,

372
00:21:25,310 --> 00:21:26,580
BUT THE BUNKER IS NOW CUT OFF

373
00:21:26,610 --> 00:21:29,650
FROM RADIO CONTACT
WITH THE MILITARY.

374
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,520
HE RESORTS TO USING A BERLIN
TELEPHONE DIRECTORY

375
00:21:32,550 --> 00:21:35,790
TO CALL ADDRESSES IN THE CITY.

376
00:21:35,820 --> 00:21:39,790
IF A RUSSIAN VOICE ANSWERS,
HE KNOWS THAT SECTOR IS TAKEN.

377
00:21:39,820 --> 00:21:42,290
IF IT'S GERMAN HE ASKS THEM
TO LOOK OUT OF THE WINDOW

378
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,920
AND TELL HIM WHAT'S HAPPENING.

379
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,700
BY APRIL 28th, THE RUSSIANS ARE
LESS THAN 550 YARDS

380
00:21:48,730 --> 00:21:49,930
FROM THE BUNKER.

381
00:21:49,970 --> 00:21:51,770
HITLER STILL CLINGS ON.

382
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:56,440
THEN HE RECEIVES NEWS
THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING.

383
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,340
HEINRICH HIMMLER, HEAD OF THE SS

384
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:02,440
AND THE SECOND MOST POWERFUL MAN
IN THE REICH, HAS BETRAYED HIM.

385
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,680
FROM THE RELATIVE SAFETY
OF GERMAN OCCUPIED TERRITORY

386
00:22:04,710 --> 00:22:05,980
IN THE NORTH,

387
00:22:06,010 --> 00:22:09,950
HE'S TRYING TO NEGOTIATE PEACE
WITH THE AMERICANS.

388
00:22:11,950 --> 00:22:13,620
THE NEWS IS PICKED UP
VIA BULLETIN

389
00:22:13,660 --> 00:22:15,830
ON THE BBC WORLD SERVICE,

390
00:22:15,860 --> 00:22:18,560
NOW VIRTUALLY THE ONLY CONTACT
HITLER'S STAFF HAS

391
00:22:18,590 --> 00:22:21,560
WITH THE OUTSIDE WORLD.

392
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,900
Musmanno: NOW,
BARON LORINGHOVEN,

393
00:22:23,930 --> 00:22:27,600
JUST WHEN DID HITLER
ABANDON ALL HOPE?

394
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,480
Loringhoven: WHEN HITLER HEARD
THAT HIMMLER HAD TRIED

395
00:22:30,510 --> 00:22:33,110
TO SURRENDER TO
THE WESTERN POWERS,

396
00:22:33,140 --> 00:22:35,310
HE RAGED AND DECLARED

397
00:22:35,340 --> 00:22:38,810
THAT NEVER WOULD A TRAITOR
SUCCEED HIM AS FUHRER.

398
00:22:38,850 --> 00:22:40,590
Narrator: HITLER ORDERS
HIMMLER'S REPRESENTATIVE

399
00:22:40,620 --> 00:22:44,930
IN THE BUNKER, GENERAL FEGELEIN,
TO BE SHOT.

400
00:22:44,950 --> 00:22:47,520
FEGELEIN IS EVA BRAUN'S
BROTHER-IN-LAW,

401
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,860
MARRIED TO HER PREGNANT SISTER.

402
00:22:49,890 --> 00:22:54,830
HITLER'S MISTRESS BEGS FOR HIS
LIFE, BUT THE PLEA IS REFUSED.

403
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,270
THEN HITLER BEGINS DICTATING
HIS FINAL WILL

404
00:22:59,300 --> 00:23:02,140
AND POLITICAL TESTAMENT
TO TRAUDL JUNGE.

405
00:23:02,170 --> 00:23:05,870
HE STARTS BY BLAMING
THE JEWS FOR THE WAR.

406
00:23:07,780 --> 00:23:13,390
Junge: HE DICTATED IT TO ME
THE NIGHT OF APRIL 28th.

407
00:23:13,420 --> 00:23:19,190
AND, I MUST FRANKLY SAY, THAT
THE WILL WAS VERY DISAPPOINTING.

408
00:23:19,220 --> 00:23:24,360
I THOUGHT THAT IN IT HE WOULD
TRY TO JUSTIFY WHAT HE HAS DONE

409
00:23:24,390 --> 00:23:29,600
AND WHY GERMANY FOUND ITSELF
IN ITS PRESENT SITUATION

410
00:23:29,630 --> 00:23:32,300
SO THAT HE MIGHT OFFER TO SHOW

411
00:23:32,330 --> 00:23:36,370
SOME WAY OUT
OF OUR HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.

412
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,100
BUT HE REPEATED THE SAME OLD
ARGUMENTS HE HAD USED

413
00:23:40,140 --> 00:23:43,410
OVER AND OVER
IN ALL HIS SPEECHES.

414
00:23:43,450 --> 00:23:45,690
Narrator: THE WILL ALSO REVEALS
THAT HITLER IS PREPARED

415
00:23:45,710 --> 00:23:48,650
TO GIVE HIS MISTRESS
WHAT SHE'S ALWAYS CRAVED.

416
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,380
ALTHOUGH NEVER MENTIONING
HER BY NAME,

417
00:23:50,490 --> 00:23:52,760
IT STATES THAT IN RETURN
FOR HER LOYALTY

418
00:23:52,790 --> 00:23:57,760
AND WILLINGNESS TO DIE WITH HIM,
HE WILL AT LAST MARRY EVA BRAUN.

419
00:24:05,170 --> 00:24:08,310
JUST OVER AN HOUR AFTER
EXECUTING HER BROTHER-IN-LAW,

420
00:24:08,340 --> 00:24:12,610
HITLER EMERGES FROM HIS ROOM
WITH EVA BRAUN ON HIS ARM.

421
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,980
SHE WEARS A BLACK
SEQUINED DRESS.

422
00:24:15,010 --> 00:24:17,680
HER EYES ARE RADIANT
WITH HAPPY TEARS.

423
00:24:17,710 --> 00:24:21,210
HITLER WEARS HIS USUAL TUNIC.

424
00:24:21,250 --> 00:24:24,290
GOEBBELS ACTS AS BEST MAN IN
THE HASTILY ARRANGED CEREMONY,

425
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:25,590
AND THE BRIDE AND GROOM,

426
00:24:25,620 --> 00:24:28,520
ADHERING TO THE LEGAL
REQUIREMENTS OF A NAZI WEDDING,

427
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,800
BOTH DECLARE THAT THEY ARE
"OF PURE ARYAN DESCENT

428
00:24:31,830 --> 00:24:36,040
AND FREE FROM
HEREDITARY DISEASE."

429
00:24:36,060 --> 00:24:37,800
AS EVA SIGNS
THE WEDDING CERTIFICATE,

430
00:24:37,830 --> 00:24:40,070
SHE WRITES THE LETTER "B"
FOR BRAUN,

431
00:24:40,100 --> 00:24:45,240
BEFORE SCORING IT OUT
AND WRITING "HITLER."

432
00:24:45,270 --> 00:24:46,670
Musmanno: WHAT HAPPENED
AT THE END?

433
00:24:46,710 --> 00:24:50,350
Lorenz: HE MARRIED EVA BRAUN
AND PREPARED FOR HIS SUICIDE.

434
00:24:50,380 --> 00:24:52,380
Musmanno: WAS THERE
A WEDDING CELEBRATION?

435
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,280
Lorenz: THERE WAS A LITTLE PARTY
AND THEY DRANK CHAMPAGNE.

436
00:24:59,120 --> 00:25:01,790
HITLER DID NOT DRINK
ANY CHAMPAGNE,

437
00:25:01,820 --> 00:25:05,120
BECAUSE HE WAS DICTATING
HIS WILL.

438
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,530
Narrator: HITLER RETURNS
TO DICTATING HIS WILL,

439
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,500
STATING THAT HE AND HIS NEW WIFE
WILL TAKE THEIR LIVES

440
00:25:10,530 --> 00:25:13,530
RATHER THAN FACE THE SHAME
OF DEFEAT AND SURRENDER.

441
00:25:13,570 --> 00:25:16,140
THEIR BODIES ARE TO BE BURNED.

442
00:25:16,170 --> 00:25:20,770
IT ALSO URGES HIS SUCCESSORS
TO CONTINUE THE FIGHT.

443
00:25:25,150 --> 00:25:27,590
THE DOCUMENTS ARE TO BE
COURIERED OUT OF THE BUNKER

444
00:25:27,620 --> 00:25:29,090
THROUGH SOVIET LINES

445
00:25:29,120 --> 00:25:32,520
TO TERRITORIES STILL HELD
BY GERMANY.

446
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,890
Musmanno: WHEN DID YOU LAST SEE
ADOLF HITLER?

447
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,160
Johannmeier:
THE MORNING OF APRIL 29th.

448
00:25:39,190 --> 00:25:42,960
HE DIRECTED ME TO TAKE
A COPY OF HIS WILL

449
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:44,840
TO FIELD MARSHAL SCHORNER

450
00:25:44,870 --> 00:25:48,370
AND EMPHASIZED THE IMPORTANCE
OF THE MISSION.

451
00:25:48,470 --> 00:25:49,500
Musmanno:
WHAT WAS THE ATMOSPHERE

452
00:25:49,540 --> 00:25:52,840
OF THAT LAST CONVERSATION
WITH HITLER?

453
00:25:52,870 --> 00:25:54,470
Johannmeier: WE BOTH REALIZED

454
00:25:54,510 --> 00:25:59,480
WE WOULD NEVER SEE
EACH OTHER AGAIN.

455
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,650
Musmanno: WAS THERE ANY DOUBT
IN YOUR MIND

456
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,480
THAT HE WAS GOING TO DIE?

457
00:26:03,490 --> 00:26:05,360
Johannmeier: NONE WHATSOEVER.

458
00:26:10,060 --> 00:26:11,630
Narrator: HAVING MARRIED
EVA BRAUN

459
00:26:11,660 --> 00:26:14,130
AND WRITTEN HIS LAST WILL
AND POLITICAL TESTAMENT

00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,560
URGING HIS FOLLOWERS
TO CONTINUE THE FIGHT,

461
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,900
ALL ADOLF HITLER HAS LEFT TO DO
IS TAKE HIS LIFE.

462
00:26:20,940 --> 00:26:22,710
NOW IN HIS FINAL HOURS,

463
00:26:22,740 --> 00:26:25,140
THE FUHRER'S PARANOIA
REACHES NEW HEIGHTS

464
00:26:25,170 --> 00:26:27,570
IN THE CLAUSTROPHOBIC BUNKER.

465
00:26:27,610 --> 00:26:31,180
Musmanno: WHAT WAS HITLER'S MOOD
DURING THIS PERIOD?

466
00:26:31,210 --> 00:26:35,350
Loringhoven: HE WAS DEPRESSED
AND SUSPICIOUS OF EVERYBODY.

467
00:26:35,380 --> 00:26:38,350
HE EVEN NOW SUSPECTED
THAT THE POISON

468
00:26:38,390 --> 00:26:40,590
WOULD ONLY MAKE HIM UNCONSCIOUS

469
00:26:40,620 --> 00:26:44,090
AND HE WOULD BE TURNED OVER
ALIVE TO THE ALLIES.

470
00:26:44,130 --> 00:26:47,300
SO HE DECIDED TO
TEST THE POISON.

471
00:26:47,330 --> 00:26:49,500
Musmanno: ON WHOM DID HE TEST
THE POISON?

472
00:26:49,530 --> 00:26:51,130
Loringhoven: ON HIS BEST FRIEND.

473
00:26:51,170 --> 00:26:52,240
Musmanno: NAMELY?

474
00:26:52,270 --> 00:26:54,240
Loringhoven: BLONDI.

475
00:26:54,270 --> 00:26:55,500
Musmanno: WHO WAS BLONDI?

476
00:26:55,540 --> 00:26:57,140
Loringhoven: HIS DOG.

477
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,480
Musmanno: WHAT WAS THE RESULT
OF THE TEST?

478
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,380
