Life Inside The Führerbunker: Adolf Hitler’s Paranoid Final Few Days...

- The streets of Berlin were devastated beyond recognition in some areas as 33-year-old photographer William Vandivert was led to the location of the former German chancellery buildings. Just days before, these streets had been the subject of a two-week long bloody and bitter battle between the Soviet Union’s Red Army and the last of the German Wehrmacht whose numbers had been propped up by old men and young boys recruited from the city’s population. Now that battle was over and red flags upon which was emblazoned the hammer and sickle emblem of the Soviet Union hung from the ruined buildings, replacing the swastika of the Third Reich which was no more. Vandivert later reported in Life magazine that almost every famous building in the German capital was a shambles and one could walk for blocks and see no living thing, hear nothing but the stillness of death and smell nothing but its putrid stench. Vandivert arrived at what remained of the Reich chancellery and was then guided to an entrance that went down beneath it.
Vandivert was about to become the first journalist from a western Allied nation to see the fuhrerbunker where Adolf Hitler directed the German war effort in those final days before he like the Nazi dream itself ended in blood; in the Fuhrer’s case at his own hand in one last act of defiance. As if symbolising the dark nature of the world he was stepping into, Vandivert later recounted that there was almost no light in the bunker and that the Red Army guards who escorted him around lit the way with candles before the flash of his camera exposed the scenes below; his pictures giving the people of the US and beyond their first glimpse into where the Fuhrer - perhaps the epitome of evil - died. Since that day, the world has been fascinated with the story of Hitler’s final days. Prior to 1945, it appeared as though Hitler and his Fascist war machine was unstoppable as it dominated the battlefield. Even his enemies began to view him some kind of invincible monarch and so it was quite perplexing that the man who had enamoured audiences of thousands at the spectacular Nuremberg rallies would die in a dark hole in the ground like a rat returning to its nest after consuming poison.
This is the story of the creation of the Fuhrerbunker and those hellish last days of the man who dreamed of total conquest.

History Should Never Be Forgotten...
His doctor couldn't get the drugs anymore, he ran around Berlin trying to find them and when he couldn't find them anymore, Adolph dismissed him.
All correct, except that "Adolf" is spelled with an "f" in German, not "ph".
@@valerietaylor9615 Woops!! I knew that too, brain fart.
Hitler's "holiday retreat" was called the Berghof, not the Eagle's Nest. The Eagles Nest was a building intended for conferences and entertaining, located above the Berghof.
"Chansillery"??
Artificial intelligence text to speech.
OMG the furbunker...herbunker hisbunker...therbunker mybunker...goofee people...
@@heinerlange443 The Chancellor's office
Same as. So why bother?
Im writing a paper for my class on the war on terror and found your two part series on it and was wondering if you still had your notes and documents you may have found. If you do I would like to ask for a copy of them to help my research.
"At the time of supreme peril I must die a martyr's death for the people. But after my death will come something really great, an overwhelming revelation to the the world of my mission. My spirit will rise from the grave, and the world will see I was right."
i've never found this quote to be verified
Historians say that his rant about Fegelein was epic.
"Bringen Sie mir Fegelein!" ( "Bring me Fegelein!")
It was the turning point of the Battle of Berlin.
Scary. You all know History Repeats itself right?
They forgot to mention that people would pass trough the "Round Hall" before entering the great marble hall.
I doubt the original footage was shot in 16:9
It was
What has happened to the other narrator has he stopped doing videos now ???
He’s trapped in the Chansillery.
@@hilaryc8648 ????? What do you mean ???
Chancellery, learn how to spell @@hilaryc8648
He still narrates other top5s channel videos, but only Cold Case Detective now it seems
I know WTH?
Don't narrators have a sense of duty anymore??
What is a 'Chancillory'?
An office of a chancellor.
Also calling Goering , Goring !
2:02 Perfect observation regarding Hitler.
Why re-tread the same old ground, over and over?
Because it is relevant to current affairs
Watching it today, April 30, 2024, 79 years after Hitler's death.
I’ve always been fascinated with ww2 and just the massive situation the entire world was in. It really is incredible to think of all the events and sometimes I really try and wonder what hitler felt like in the end.
13:20 I am so irritated by people saying Hitler had Parkinson's ! ! ! This was started by a non physician, and continued by those who know nothing about medicine.
Just as a clue, Parkinson's does not cause tremors on just one side.
So what did he have?
@@sakabula2357 A drug addiction; amphetamines I'd reckon =)
can't say without a good physical exam, but things that could be unilateral like a tumor, damage from the bomb blast, or more rarely rot from the old STD Syphilis. With Theodor Morell poking about, you can be sure it went undiagnosed. He was focused on STD's when younger. H wrote a lot about them, so ? @@sakabula2357
Yup as a recovering addict from meth, my hands shook badly in my first year. I agree and have said it b4!
I believe Hitler had Parkinson's. My father also had it, and his symptoms were identical to Adolf's.
The Soviet soldiers was angry that the Germans were living better than them!
The bomb attempt on Hitler was at the Wolfs Lair not the Chancillororory.
That's what he said. At the point in the video where the assassination attempt is mentioned, he was talking about the Wolf's Lair.
I wonder if there's a bunker at Mar-a-Lago?
I wouldn't be at all surprised.
Why do people compare trump to Hitler? I’m not a fan of trump ir really any person in position to run for president they all lie to get votes they all pander to people and our elected politicians whine like children while they get paid. But trump and Hitler are not similar. If you really do make comparisons you can find similarities of any politicians to Hitler. If that’s how you are determined to see things
AI VOICE?...??
His destiny however was not to drift into the awaiting oblivion, but to rise to the greatest heights of power, eventually to become one of the most influential men who ever lived.
His destiny was to stumble off to humiliation in front of Moscow, leading to misery and death, for himself and for millions of the fools who followed him.
He should have stuck to painting postcards.
😂 he was in love with his teenage niece who he lived with, he was wrong about everything he believed, and he shot himself.
@theGhostofRoberttheBruce Regardless of his horrific ideologies and short time this planet, he changed the world in a way no one would have ever perceived nor I or you....
Point is..his name will live forever while you will be forgotten in about 30 years after your gone...@theGhostofRoberttheBruce
@@sakabula2357I'd rather live as a good man and be remembered that way by those who knew me than be remembered by the whole world as the biggest piece of 💩 to ever live.

He needs to brush up on his German pronunciation. It's painful to listen to.
Hunting Hitler series and the facts they discovered has me believing he escaped to south America.
One of history's most notorious egomaniacs just whimpered into hiding to live the rest of his life in total anonymity quietly watching the way the history writers smeared his legacy into the dirt? Yeah I'm gonna go with "chose to die as a martyr" making a hell of a lot more sense and totally consistent to all prior evidence of his character and how reality works in general. The conspiracy theory is super fun, don't get me wrong, but it's a huuuuuge stretch of an imagination and nothing more
He was way to sick to travel. Besides, living as a refugee in hiding didn't fit in with his personality
I'm sure nobody would recognize him.
"Hey, you look like that Hitler fella"
Adolf: Yeah, "I get that a lot" I blame my mother" hahaha"
He escaped to Argentina

Thanks for clearing that up.
Paranoid few days? His writings show him in a fully functional normal mental state. The guy survived poisoned gas attacks in WW1, and assassination attempts in WW2.
He was either shot by a sniper or killed by a mortar shell.
The Soviet evidence for his suicide is very dodgey.
Hitler had been paranoid all his life, and his Parkinson's, coupled with drug withdrawal, only served to intensify it.
Where did you come up with being shot by a sniper or mortar shell??? No evidence of that at all. There were 4 members of his cabinet captured by soviets that later talked to other allies and they all told the same story. Linge was one of them so was Bormann. There is quite a lot of evidence and they were interrogated for years after and told the same story. If something else had taken place it would have been told during years of interrogation. There is a certain level of unknown and always will be but literally no evidence at all for what you claim. And I do not believe Hitler was a monster that was different than other humans I think Hitler was a normal person and normal people are capable of terrible things. He was most definitely on drugs and most definitely had mental break down due to stress and anyone would. I don’t think he was crazy but he was not stable in the end
