ReviewsThis intriguing wartime memoir by von Loringhoven (b. 1914), the personal assistant of Hitler's last two chiefs of staff, chronicles his experiences as a German soldier finding himself inside Nazi Germany's Führerbunker, the bunker that housed Hitler during the last half of WWII. Von Loringhoven found himself within the crumbling, defeated world of the Führerbunker during the last months of the war. By war's end, the author says, he had the disagreeable impression of having been used as fodder for the adventures of a charlatan.
