Hitler and Eva were in the underground bunker, and his health was deteriorating. Hitler could not sleep. At this time, he was sitting blankly in his underground bunker, which was 17 meters deep underground, with an outer wall 2 meters thick and a top covered with 9 meters thick soil. Since Hitler entered the bunker on January 16 when the 8th Division of the U.S. Air Force bombed Berlin with thousands of planes, he went to attend a secret meeting of Nazi party leaders outside the city on February 25 and went to the Eastern Front on March 15. I have been living here for 90 days. He wanted to take his beloved French Alsatian breed dog Blondie for a walk in the garden of his Chancellery, but Captain Helmut Pillman, who was in charge of his close guard, stopped him for various reasons. he. He was not afraid of death. During World War I, he won an Iron Cross while serving as a messenger in a frontline infantry regiment. What he fears is that fate may deprive him of the opportunity to make suitable arrangements when he dies.

The interior of the bunker is eerie and desolate. Despite the adulation of his favorite mistress, Eva Braun, and a large entourage, Hitler was noticeably older towards the end of the war. Hitler still felt that everything was so lonely. Tomorrow is his 56th birthday. He does not want to hear any more reports about the Soviet offensive and various suggestions that are not conducive to his determination. He just wants to calm down and think about something. He is proud of it. With his beard, he patrolled his underground territory from room to room. The roof was very low, and the corridor was like a narrow passage in a cellar, which made him feel an unprecedented sense of oppression. Large water droplets seeped and dripped from several mottled and cracked cements from time to time, making him feel a deep disgust. Several of the 32 overcrowded rooms are painted battleship-like gray, adding a coldness to the gloomy underground. He had no intention of turning around, so he turned around and walked into the three rooms that belonged to him in the southwest corner. These are the three larger rooms among the 32 rooms in the bunker, each 4.6 meters long and 3 meters wide. Comes with flush toilet and shower head. He first walked into the bedroom on the far side, looked at the only single bed, a bedside table and a dressing table. He stared blankly for a while, then sighed softly and walked in. Next door to the living room. It is also simple here, with only a lounge chair, a coffee tea and a chair. He wanted to sit down and take a rest, but he felt very annoyed for some reason. He threw the chair hard, walked out of the door angrily, and closed the door hard.

The heavy slamming of the door woke up Eva next door. She gathered her fluffy yellow hair with her hands, and gently held Hitler's arm. Looking at Hitler's tired expression, her face was full of sadness, and tears quietly crept into her eyes. She hurriedly put it back It holds back. She couldn't say a word, she just pulled Hitler's left hand tightly into her arms, secretly determined to stay with him forever until the last breath of her life.

Hitler seemed to have no reaction to Eva's caress. He pushed open the door of his office, went straight to the west wall, and stood silently in front of an oil painting, staring at it for a long time.

Hitler's health has been deteriorating in recent weeks. His formerly bright blue eyes have gradually been replaced by dull, sunken and bloodshot eyes. His brown hair seemed to turn gray overnight. He could no longer stand upright. Not only could he not lift his feet when he walked, but one of his legs was always dragging behind him. His hands were shaking more and more, and his left hand needed the support of his right hand to touch his chest. When he stood, he often had to put his legs close to the edge of the table to support him. When he lay down, he had to rely on his personal guard Lin Ge to help him lift his feet. Lift to the couch to lie down flat. He has lost his former majesty, making the people in the bunker less convinced that he is still the head of the empire, and more convinced that he is just their "head".

Eva brought two chairs, helped Hitler sit down, and leaned against him in front of the painting. Eva knew that this portrait of Frederick the Great of Prussia, painted by the famous oil painter Anton Graf, was bought by Hitler with a huge sum of money in Munich in 1934 and then placed in a special wooden crate. He accompanied Hitler on his northern and southern campaigns and was inseparable.

Hitler seemed to have forgotten the existence of Eva. He put his chin on his hand, put on his gold-rimmed glasses, and stared motionlessly at the king in the portrait, and the king seemed to be staring at him too. Eva only knew that the Führer admired Frederick II very much, but she did not know that Hitler's situation at this time was somewhat similar to that of the Prussian commander.

Hitler knew that the Prussian king represented the interests of the Prussian Junker landowners and pursued a policy of domestic coercive autocracy and aggression against neighboring countries. His aggressive ambitions repeatedly created tensions in Europe. During the First and Second Silesian Wars, he seized most of the land in Silesia from Austria. After forming an alliance with Britain, he launched the 7-year war from 1756 to 1763. Although he defeated the Austrian and French armies one after another, But he did not expect that at the end of the war, due to the fierce attack of the Russian army, he was trapped in a mostly destroyed palace in the city of Breslau in Silesia. His capital Berlin was also surrounded and captured by the Russians, but there was no Thinking that death was imminent, the enemy's alliance suddenly reversed course, and Frederick was able to avoid complete destruction. Today, Hitler not only bought Frederick's portrait, but also inherited Frederick's ideas, in exchange for another crisis situation approaching the city.

"Frederick was saved, what will be my fate?" Looking at the mighty and unyielding image of Frederick II, Hitler fell into deep contemplation, and Eva helped him straighten his gray uniform. He flicked off the dust on his black trousers with the hem of his jacket, and just took his hands off his chin, holding tightly the Iron Cross medal he had won in World War I and always carried with him with trembling hands.

It can be said that Hitler's feelings are real, and he is at least willing to live or die with Berlin. Sometimes he was full of confidence, sometimes he was depressed and despairing. Even then he believed Berlin could be saved. Although he expressed his willingness to fight Berlin's fate, he still believed that the capital of the empire would not perish together with his head of state. He regards himself as the incarnation of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and a totem. As long as he is around, he can turn disaster into good at any time. Hitler once said to Keitel: "If I leave East Prussia, East Prussia will fall, and if I stay, it will be saved." Keitel once advised him to leave East Prussia, and sure enough, East Prussia fell.

Hitler was with Himmler, the once favored leader of the SS. Now, as he clings to Berlin, where the resistance is getting weaker and weaker, he still deludes himself into thinking that Berlin will not perish if he does not leave.

The fantasy was finally shattered by the facts. On April 28, the Soviets were close to the city center, and hysterical telegrams were sent one after another from the basement. "I look forward to the rescue of Berlin." Hitler called Keitel. "What are Heinrich's troops doing? Where is Wenck? What happened to the 9th Army? When can Wenck join the 9th Army?" in the basement People are looking forward to news all day long, but what comes one after another is not news, but rumors.

How to explain Wenke's incompetence? In fact, it is very clear. The correct explanation should be that Wen Ke's troops no longer exist. But amid the conflicting cries in the basement, no one believed it even if it was a sure thing. There is only one explanation there, which is that no matter what happens, the conclusion is the same, betrayal.

As the day progresses, this explanation seems to be more and more valid. Contact with the outside world has become more difficult, and the only way to contact is the wireless phone of the Supreme Command. But, is Keitel still reliable? Bowman sent a distress telegram at nine o'clock that night. The telegram clearly reflected the situation in the basement. The telegram was sent directly to General von Putkamer in Munich, who then forwarded it to D?nitz.

The telegram said, "Instead of giving orders and calls to inspire the troops to relieve our siege, those in authority remained silent. Loyalty seems to have given way to betrayal! We are still here, and the Reich Chancellery is in ruins."

An hour later, a definite message finally reached the basement from the outside. The news was brought from the Propaganda Department by a staff member of the Information Bureau, who was tasked with copying and translating. Important foreign news is then sent to the head of state. His name was Heinz Lorenz, and he was delivering news about Himmler's negotiations with the enemy.

Hearing the news, Hitler became furious. This was the worst blow he had ever received. "Faithful Heinrich", the only leader of the Nazi party who was beyond all suspicion, betrayed him and stabbed him in the back.

At this time, Hitler had realized that Himmler's betrayal had sounded the alarm for him. Before that, he had hesitated, wavered, and expected. Later, he made a decision. Once a decision is made, it cannot be changed. No pressure or persuasion can shake his determination.

After that, it took him about a week to decide on the rest of his life. Now, the time has come to implement this decision.

On the night of April 28th to 29th, he finally canceled Himmler's inheritance rights, wrote his last words, and married Eva Braun.

Just after midnight, Hitler came to Graeme's room and gave him his final orders. Hitler looked pale and sat by the bed, explaining to him the dual significance of the mission: first, the air force must be dispatched to bomb Soviet positions that might launch an attack on the Chancellery; second, the traitor Himmler must be arrested - when Hitler began At the mention of the name, his hands trembled and his voice became slurred.

He screamed: "A traitor will never be allowed to succeed me as head of state. You must fly out and try to prevent him from succeeding me."

Graeme and Han Na Raich flew out of Berlin just as she had come, risking her life.

Later, Hannah Leitch recalled in her book:

“The plane was like a feather, thrown up and down by the bombing air waves, and they finally flew to Looking down at an altitude of 7,000 meters, Berlin is like a sea of ??fire..."

After Hitler sent Graeme away, he immediately turned to the next thing, marrying Eva Braun. Goebbels found a man named Wagner to preside over this symbolic ceremony.

The man was a city councillor, and since he was a senior official in the finance department, he was seen as a suitable person to preside over the civil ceremony.

The wedding ceremony was held in the small conference room of the head of state. In addition to Hitler, Braun, and Wagner, there were also witnesses Goebbels and Bormann. The ceremony was very simple. Both parties declared that they were pure Aryans and had no genetic diseases. Due to the military situation and emergency situation at that time, they decided to only perform a verbal ceremony, and both parties agreed.

After the wedding, the bride and groom walked out of the conference room.

After all these years, Eva Braun's status has finally been confirmed and her past dual role is over. The next day, she said to an orderly, "From now on, you should call me Mrs. Hitler."

What prompted Hitler to hold this alternate ceremony is unknown. However, it would not be unreasonable to say that the marriage was entirely due to Eva Braun's wishes. Her long-term unclear status made her uneasy. She had long wanted Hitler to do this, but Hitler was unwilling to do so. When the end came, he didn't want it to come.

When she came to Berlin on April 15, Hitler was ready to send her away, but she did not leave. In this way, she got the reward she deserved.

Hitler once said that she was the only one who would loyally accompany him. She did not disappoint him, and her loyalty was even more prominent because of the betrayal of others.

After the wedding, Hitler began to deal with the various things that worried him in this lively night. He dictated two documents, his political will and his personal will, to his secretary, Madame Jung. They will serve as a final appeal to future generations.

This is the purpose of these two documents and is therefore of particular interest. In this final manifesto of the Nazi movement, considered as a document for posterity, there is nothing new except the clichés of pointless destructive militarism and self-justifying complaints about failure.

The political testament is divided into two parts, the first part is the general introduction, and the second part is the monograph.

It is untrue to say that I or any other German wanted war in 1939. It was entirely those international politicians of Jewish origin who needed and incited war...

These six Despite all the setbacks suffered by the war in 2008, it will one day be remembered as the most glorious and courageous performance of a nation's struggle for survival and go down in history. I cannot leave this city, because it is the capital of the empire, and I have to fight with the people here to live and die...

Besides, I am not happy to fall into the hands of the enemy, who just need a Jewish director. A new play, to get the hysterical crowd...

So I decided to stay in Berlin. When I think that the position of prime minister cannot continue, I am willing to die for my country...

The next step is to say goodbye to the armed forces that the Nazis trusted, and to accuse those incompetent arms:

"I hope that the German army will be like our navy in the future and never give up a city or a pool. What is particularly important is that the commanders must faithfully fulfill their duties until death..."

The next part of the will Involves some specific issues. The second part, like the first part, is still a series of counter-accusations and denials.

"Before my death, I expelled the former Reichsmarschall G?ring from the party and deprived him of all the powers conferred on him by the order of June 29, 1941 and by my address to the Reichstag on September 1, 1939 . I appointed Field Marshal D?nitz as Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces and President of Germany."

The following paragraph is generally similar to the above paragraph, which involves another traitor:

"Before my death. , I expelled Himmler, the former SS commander and interior minister, from the party and relieved him of all state posts..."

After liquidating the traitors and appointing a new successor, Hitler also appointed The government accepted the following tasks:

"The German people must be given a government composed of reputable people who should use all means to continue this war."

Order It ended by saying that Nazi party members had the responsibility to "strictly abide by racial laws and ruthlessly attack the poisoners of the people of the world - the Jews." Hitler's personal will was short and the content was very ordinary. It was neither the will of a revolutionary genius nor the will of a destroying angel, but entirely the will of a small German citizen. He explained his marriage, disposed of his estate, and announced that he would commit suicide.

“All my property, no matter how much it is worth, belongs to the party. If the party ceases to exist, it will belong to the country. If the country also perishes, then I don’t need to say anything else.”< /p>

“The paintings I have collected over the years were never intended to be kept privately, but all for the purpose of expanding the gallery in my hometown.”

“I sincerely hope that my remains will be in my home. The place where most of the daily work of serving my people for 12 years was immediately cremated."

At four o'clock in the morning, two wills were signed in order to prevent these two wills, which are extremely important to future generations, from being lost and handed over. Conveniently, they were printed in triplicate. After Hitler signed the two wills, Goebbels, Bormann, Krebs and Burgdorf also signed the wills as witnesses. Signed as witnesses to the private will were Goebbels, Bormann and Colonel Cora von Bello, the Luftwaffe adjutant who was with Hitler for the last eight years.

Hitler had begun preparing to commit suicide. According to the latest news from the outside world that day, Mussolini has died. This pioneer of fascism and associate of Hitler served as Hitler's role model in pushing for dictatorship in Europe. His starts and failures at various stages also preceded Hitler's. Now, in his own unique way, he outlines the inevitable fate of a failed tyrant. Mussolini and his lover Clara Petacci had been captured and secretly executed in northern Italy.

Their corpses were hung upside down in Milan's piazzas and were beaten and stoned by the avengers. If Hitler and Eva knew these details, they would definitely reiterate their orders to completely destroy their bodies "leaving no trace behind". Hitler once said:

"Besides, I don't want to fall into the hands of others who just need a new show by the Jews to please the hysterical masses."

He Understand what fate he will suffer once his body is discovered by others.

In the afternoon, Hitler's surgeon Professor Haase came to the underground castle, and Hitler asked Haase to poison his pet dog Blondie. Two other family dogs were shot and killed by the staff sergeant who had been caring for them. Hitler distributed poison to his two female secretaries to take in an emergency. He said it was a great pity that he could not give a better gift. He praised their spirit, adding that he hoped the generals would be as loyal and reliable as they were.

In the evening, when others were eating in the public dining room in the passage of the Führer's fortress, an SS guard came to inform that the Führer wanted to say goodbye to the ladies. Not allowed to go to bed. At about 2:30 in the morning, more than 20 military officers and women received phone orders and immediately gathered in the passage. After everyone arrived, Hitler, accompanied by Bormann, came out of his room. He was so dazed that some people present thought he had taken drugs.

Hitler walked silently along the aisle, shaking hands with all the women one by one. Some people said something to him, but he either did not answer or muttered to himself, and no one could hear clearly. What on earth did he say.

After Hitler left, the participants of the farewell ceremony discussed the meaning of this abnormal event. They all agreed that there was only one possibility, that is, the Führer would commit suicide. This mage who made people shudder with his orders and the tyrant who made people fear all day long is finally leaving this world. A dance was being held in the dining room of the soldiers and orderlies of the chancellery. Despite orders from the Führer's Fortress to keep quiet, the dance was not interrupted. A tailor who used to work in the headquarters of the Chancellery and was later arrested in the Chancellery with others was extremely shocked. The head of the National Security Service, Major General Rattenhuber, actually patted him politely on the shoulder and said nothing. Greet him without any pretense.

There was a strict management system in the bunker. The tailor felt at a loss and felt as if he had become a senior military officer now. He later said: "This was the first time I heard a senior officer say good night to me, and I felt that the atmosphere had completely changed." Later he learned from a colleague the reason for this sudden change: Hitler's farewell ceremony had already It’s over, and now I’m preparing to commit suicide.

Later that afternoon, when a new day's work began, the generals came to the underground bunker with their respective battle reports as usual. Major General Monk, commander of the Chancellery Guards, reported that the situation had improved slightly and that the Sicilian railway station had been recaptured from Soviet hands, but the overall military development remained unchanged.

At noon, the situation became worse and worse. News came that: the subway tunnel in Friedrichstrasse had fallen into the hands of the Soviet army. The world outside the Chancellery was really bleak: Hitler came out of the basement for the last time to get some air. The nearby Eusstrasse subway was partially occupied. The entire zoo area was lost, and the Soviet troops had crossed Potsdamer Platz and the Weidendam Bridge.

Hitler listened to these reports calmly. He didn't have lunch until about two o'clock. Eva didn't eat with him. Maybe she didn't feel hungry, but maybe she ate alone in her room as usual. If Eva was not around, Hitler always dined with his two female secretaries and his female cook. The conversation at the dinner table was no different. Hitler was calm and composed and made no mention of his plans, although he was already prepared for the upcoming ceremony.

This morning, the guards were ordered to collect food for the whole day, because the corridors of the underground bunker would be closed to traffic. At noon, Hitler's SS adjutant Major Günsche ordered the transportation captain Major Kempka to immediately send 200 liters of gasoline to the Chancellery. Kempka said it's not easy to get so much at once. However, the answer was that this much must be obtained. Later he finally got about 180 liters. And sent four people to immediately send the gasoline barrels into the garden and place them at the emergency exit of the bunker. A Security Bureau official saw the incident and demanded an explanation. They said it was oil for ventilation equipment, and the guard present said: "Nonsense, the ventilation equipment is oil for diesel." Then Hitler's bodyguard Heinz Ringe came here and he whispered to the soldier After a few words, the quarrel ended and the four people were sent back. Soon, all the guards received orders to leave the Prime Minister's Office immediately and were not allowed to come back. Obviously, people do not want some casual witnesses to become witnesses to this finale in the future.

After Hitler finished lunch and dismissed the guests, he sat alone for a while, and then walked out of his room to attend another farewell ceremony accompanied by Eva Braun. Participating in this farewell ceremony were Bauman, Goebbels, Krebs, Burgdorf, Havel, Nauman, Us, Günsche, Ringe and four women. Mrs. Goebbels was not present, and since her child was also to die, she could not restrain herself. She spent the whole day in her room and never went anywhere.

Hitler and Eva shook hands with everyone and returned to their dormitories. Everyone else was sent away. Only a few senior priests and a few essential personnel on duty were in the passage.

At this time, a shot was fired in Hitler's room.

The nearby crater is where the bodies of Hitler and Eva were burned. After a while, they walked into the room and Hitler was lying on the sofa, which was covered in blood. He shot him in the mouth. Eva Braun also died on the sofa. There was a pistol beside her, but she did not use it. She committed suicide by taking poison. It was half past three in the afternoon.

When he was a child, Arthur Axman, the leader of the Hitler Youth, came to the bunker. He did not catch the farewell ceremony, but was allowed to enter Hitler's room. After examining the body, he talked with Goebbels for several minutes. After Goebbels left, he stood next to the body for a while. Outside the Führer's living room, preparations were being made for another ceremony: a Viking funeral.

After Kempka had gasoline delivered to the Garden of the Chancellery, he went to the underground bunker from the underground tunnel connecting Hermann Goering Street and the Chancellery Building. Gingshe told him: "The leader has passed away." At this time, Hitler's door was opened, and Kempka also became a participant in the funeral.

Axmann was standing next to the body, meditating, when two SS men walked into the room, one of whom was Hitler's aide Ringer. In order to cover up Hitler's bloody head, they wrapped the body in a blanket and carried it out of the corridor. People in the corridor could easily tell from the black trouser legs exposed outside the blanket that it was Hitler. The body was carried by two other team members to the stairs leading to the emergency exit and then into the garden. Then Bowman walked into the room, picked up Eva Braun's body and walked out of the room. He handed the body to Kempka in the corridor. Kempka then carried the body to the stairs, where Günsche received the body. , walked out of the stairs and carried her into the garden. Another door leading from the fortress to the Chancellery and all other doors leading from the Chancellery to the gardens have been closed under special security measures to prevent intruders.

Unfortunately, there is no foolproof measure in the world. The direct consequence of this perfect measure made two outsiders inadvertently become witnesses of this time.

Erich Mansfield of the Security Bureau happened to be on duty in the concrete watchtower in the corner of the fortress. He suddenly noticed a figure moving in front of him and the garden door was closed, so he went down from the tower to the garden to check. What exactly happened at the emergency exit. He considered it his duty to go and check, and had no other purpose than that. He walked to the emergency exit door and happened to meet the funeral procession coming out of it. The first to come out were two SS officers carrying the body. The body was wrapped in a blanket with two legs in black trousers exposed. The SS officer following behind was undoubtedly carrying the body of Eva Braun. The mourners who came out later were: Bauman, Burgdorf, Goebbels, Günsche and Kempka. After Jingshe discovered Mansfield, he immediately shouted at him: "Leave immediately!" Mansfield returned to the watchtower, but he watched this interesting scene that was forbidden to outsiders.

Another witness to this drama was also from the Security Bureau. People didn't want him to be a witness, but he happened to appear in this picture. His name was Hermann Kanau. He was not on duty at the time, but like everyone else, he left the bunker and went to the chancellery restaurant on the order of an officer from the SS Field Guard. Soon he returned to the fort, despite orders. When he reached the entrance of the underground bunker, he found that the door was locked, so he turned and walked towards the garden, trying to enter the bunker through the emergency exit. When he walked to the watchtower where Mansfield was on duty and turned the corner, he unexpectedly saw two corpses at the emergency exit. Almost at the same time, a fire broke out on the corpses, as if spontaneous combustion. Kanau did not know the sudden fire. Reason, he saw no one, but concluded that the burning was in no way caused by enemy fire. Because he was standing not far from the body. He speculated that "someone may have thrown a burning log from within the arched doorway." This guess is basically correct.

Hitler was at a party with the young and beautiful Eva. Kanau watched the corpses burning. He later said that the two corpses were easy to identify. Hitler's head had been blurred and his appearance was particularly surly. Later, he entered the bunker through the emergency exit and met Franz Hewlett-Packard of the SS. Lieutenant Dele, Hedele was injured in the leg not long ago. He said with great sadness: "The head of state is dead and is burning outside." Kanau hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

At this time, Mansfield, who was on duty on the watchtower, was also watching the bodies burning. After Jingshe ordered him to leave the scene, he climbed onto the watchtower again. He looked through the firing hole and saw a plume of black smoke rising from the garden. After the smoke dissipated, he found that what was burning were the two corpses that had just been carried out. After the mourners exited, he also saw several SS members coming out of the fortress and pouring oil on the body so that it could be fully burned. When he was young, Kanau came to change the guard. After Kanau helped him get down from the tower, they walked to the garden to look at the corpses. The lower bodies of the two corpses had been burned, but Hitler's tibia could still be seen. An hour later, Mansfield went back to look at the bodies. They were still burning, but the fire had subsided.

In the afternoon, another person tried to see the burning scene of the body. It was Hans Hofbeck from the Security Bureau.

Hofbeck walked from the underground bunker to the emergency exit door, but the stench of the burned corpses was unbearable, so he left the scene again.

In the evening, the security chief ordered people to bury the body and asked everyone to swear to keep the matter secret, otherwise they would be killed.

At midnight, Mansfield went to the watchtower to take up his post again. At this time, the Soviet army began continuous artillery fire, and the night sky was brightly illuminated by flares. He found that the body was gone and there were traces of digging at the emergency exit. He guessed that that might be where the body was buried.

Meanwhile, Kanau and others came to Yous Street. Kanau's companion said to him: "Sadly, no officer seems to care about the Fuhrer's body, but proudly, I am the only one who knows where he is buried."

Here's everything known so far about the destruction of Hitler's and Eva Braun's bodies. Ringer later told a female secretary that the body had been burned to ashes according to Hitler's instructions. Yet it is doubtful whether the burn was so complete. 180 kilograms of gasoline were poured on the ground and burned slowly. It might be able to burn the skin, flesh and fluids in the two people's bodies, but the bones are fire-resistant, but these bones have never been found.

According to Günsche, they may have been crushed and mixed with the bones of other soldiers who died defending the chancellery and of Figlein who was buried in the garden. The Soviets dug in this garden. Many of these bodies were cremated nearby, and the urns were packed in a box and shipped out of the Prime Minister's Office. Maybe there is no need to make such an explanation, maybe the research done so far is superficial. If Hitler's work diary remained on his writing list for five months without being discovered, other things, such as the deliberate hiding of body parts, may have been overlooked. If I have to explain it, it is that Hitler's sense of honor was satisfied. But like Alaric, who was secretly buried beneath Busento's bed, this contemporary destroyer of humanity will be discovered.

While the guards and sentries were watching the funeral, the politicians in the fortress were busy again. After the corpse was set on fire and a simple farewell ceremony, they returned to the underground bunker to consider the future. Just like after Hitler's farewell ceremony, the clouds of sadness that had locked in their hearts seemed to have dissipated, and the heavy burden on their minds began to lift. Although they once felt the future was bleak, at least they can now look at the future more realistically. From this moment on, no one seemed willing to look back on the past, and no one thought that the two bodies might still be burning in the garden. This inconsequential episode has passed, and now with little time left, they must deal with their own immediate priorities. One frustrated soldier said: "It is sad to see the indifference to the body of the Führer.

”
