Features: The author, Michael Mish, was once Hitler's personal bodyguard. From 1940 to 1945, he guarded Hitler day and night, from the Reich Chancellery in Berlin to Hitler's private residence, from the "Eagle's Nest" and "Wolf's Lair" to the Nazi headquarters. Over the course of five years, he witnessed many activities of Nazi leaders and historical moments, and also learned many secrets of Hitler, including the dictator's private life with his mistress Eva. After Hitler's suicide, Mish was one of the last German soldiers to leave the bunker. After the war, he was held in the Soviet Union for nine years. Upon release, he returned to his homeland and lived in seclusion. Now, at 89, Mish has become the last living witness to that history. This book is compiled by French journalist Nicolas Bourcier from Le Monde.
