The Last Days of Hitler : Legend, Evidence and Truth (Military History Ser.)

Despite thousands of pages of evidence made public after inquiries into Hitler's death at a German federal court that lasted from 1952 to 1956, mysteries surrounding the Fuehrer's final hours continue to intrigue and puzzle many. Time is running out for one last attempt to assess the eyewitness evidence, but this expert has interviewed most of the still-living witnesses who testified at the inquiry and has examined records from Russia that were unavailable in the 1950s. The result is a careful re-examination of the state of the bunker, the corpses found at the site, the evidence of gunshots and of suicide, the attempts to make identification difficult, and the all-important dental records.
