Book Reviews of The Bunker
Book Review: The best account of the Final Days
Summary: 4 Stars
Having read most of the accounts available to us of the last days of Hitler I have come to the conclusion that this is the best. All too often it is overlooked for Hugh Trevor Ropers famous account. However, Ropers account is essentially flawed, produced as it was in 1945-1946 it lacks many of the key witnesses available to O'Donnell, and is based largely on the testimony of a man who many felt was unreliable at best, and downright dishonest at worst (he later admitted that he lied to his interrogators, telling them what they seemed to want to hear). O'Donnell had access to those officers (including Hitler's Adjutant) who were captured by the Russians. This allows for a far more accurate view of the final days (this also includes the fate of those who escaped from the Fuhrerbunker, including Boorman) and is also extremely well written and fantastically researched.
If you want just one account of the last days, The Bunker is an excellent choice (though I do recommend reading a few of the available works to get a good overview).
