Description:

Hitler is dead, but the war is not over. Everything appeared to be at a standstill, yet in breathtakingly dark motion. After the Führer's successor, Dönitz, fled to Flensburg, the Allies continued their march. Berlin gave up the struggle and Army Group C surrendered in Italy. The renowned journalist and biographer Faulkel Ulrich describes this endless "zero hour" in days, stitching together a panorama with a historical mosaic of countless witness testimonies, and transporting us to a world full of drama and hope, but also of violence and fear.
