The Final Days in the Bunker
As Nazi Germany faced imminent defeat in 1945, Hitler and Eva Braun declared themselves husband and wife in a solemn ceremony in the Führerbunker. The Soviet and Allied forces closed in on Berlin, and Hitler's hopes of a miracle turnaround were shattered. With atrocities committed and rumors of Soviet retribution, many Germans chose suicide. Hitler's propaganda machine continued in desperation, but the Western Allies were not swayed. Hitler's last-ditch effort, the Ardennes Offensive, failed to turn the tide. As Berlin fell, Hitler and Braun committed suicide, leaving a cult of Nazism in their wake.
