An extraordinary personal account of the last weeks of Hitler's life. Selected from his doomed Hitler Youth unit and given the job of courier in Hitler's bunker, the author found himself traversing a shattered Berlin with senseless orders for non-existent units. The disintegration of the Nazi hierarchy matches the crumbling of the young man's ideology as his revered leaders fall apart before the inevitable Russian advance. He later became an American citizen and peace campaigner.
