Book Reviews of In Hitler's Bunker: A Boy Soldier's Eyewitness Account of the Fuhrer's Last Days
Book Review: Get Trevor-Roper's book instead
Summary: 2 Stars
This is a somewhat interesting read, but unsatisfactory because it is impossible to distinguish eye-witness account from material lifted from other sources -- no such sources are listed. Many episodes are described that the (main) author cannot possibly have witnessed himself, and I find that this casts a doubt over all reported facts and episodes.I would much rather recommend getting Hugh Trevor-Roper's remarkable book The Last Days Of Hitler, first published in 1947! Trevor-Roper's book is an extremely fascinating, detailed, well-documented and readable presentation of the last few months of the Third Reich and Hitler.
In fact, I suspect that most of the background material in Lehmann's chapters describing Berlin's last days ultimately derives from Trevor-Roper's book.
There are spelling errors in German names and terms, and mistakes that any educated editor should have spotted (e.g. Marie Sklodowska Curie was Polish, her husband French).
