Description: During the last months of Hitler's Berlin, an estimated 30,000 German teenagers perished defending their beloved Fuhrer in the Russian onslaught. Armin Lehmann was one of the few boy soldiers who escaped the bloodbath. Like every other member of the Hitler Youth, Armin would have given his life gladly for his leader, but he was not to be sacrificed to the enemy at the gate. Instead, he was chosen to serve in the German High Command's bunker complex. It was a stroke of fate that brought him into the company of the most notorious Nazis of Hitler's hated Reich, including Martin Bormann, Goebbels and, of course, the Fuhrer himself. When Hitler greeted Armin, the 16-year-old boy knew he had been granted a unique part in history. In Hitler's Bunker is Armin's eyewitness account of the Nazi apocalypse and reveals how his unquestioning fanaticism won him that role in the final act of the Third Reich. It takes us back to his boyhood and the brutal SS father who instilled the Nazi's hateful creed in his son, then follows Armin's odyssey through the ranks of the Hitler Youth, sharing his teenage anguish over his doomed love for a beautiful German nurse. Armin's gradual realisation of the full horror of what he had been part of led him to undertake a quest for the truth, which took him in the footsteps of Mahatma Gandhi and to a meeting with Albert Schweitzer, the missionary and theologian. Above all, In Hitler's Bunker is the story of how one man, instead of running away from his past, confronted it and found peace at last. As shown title. We are Australia based and ship immediately.
