Eight days in May

It's the last week of the Third Reich. Hitler is dead, but the war is not over. Everything seems to have stopped, and yet everything is in overdrive. Volker Ullrich depicts this "timeless time" day by day, taking the reader into a collapsing world of drama and hope, violence and fear. The last death marches, the savage deportations, the collapsing power of the Nazi rulers, the liberated concentration camps - all this belongs to the gap between the past and the future.
