The extraordinary German bestseller on the final days of the Third
Reich A Times and Telegraph Book of the Year 2019 One of the last
untold stories of the Third Reich is that of the extraordinary wave
of suicides, carried out not just by much of the Nazi leadership,
but by thousands of ordinary Germans, in the war's closing period.
Some of these were provoked by straightforward terror in the face
of advancing Soviet troops or by personal guilt, but many could not
be explained in such relatively straightforward terms. Florian
Huber's remarkable book, a bestseller in Germany, confronts this
terrible phenomenon. Other countries have suffered defeat, but not
responded in the same way. What drove whole families, who in many
cases had already withstood years of deprivation, aerial bombing
and deaths in battle, to do this? In a brilliantly written,
thoughtful and original work, Huber sees the entire project of the
Third Reich as a sequence of almost overwhelming emotions and
scenes for many Germans. He describes some of the key events which
shaped the period from the First World War to the end of the
Second, showing how the sheer intensity, allure and ferocity of
Hitler's regime swept along millions. Its sudden end was, for many
of them, simply impossible to absorb.
