Summary/Abstract: The book of Antony Beevor is, ultimately, a narrative history of the last months of the Third Reich, when, under the increasing pressure of the Allied offensives, the millennial Reich was preparing to end its existence. However, it is not the simple accounting of events that represents the main purpose of the thesis. The contents of the thesis reveal themselves progressively, from one page to another, taking the reader into a meaningless world of madness. The main purpose of the thesis is to evident ate and to convey to the reader the panic and the chaos that had taken over the entire German society in the spring of 1945, from the ones standing on the top, whose orders and decisions were becoming more and more aberrant and murderous, to the common citizen, who, during this kind of historic events, has to face the entire horror of the war.
