Conspiracies and Demise: Adolf Hitler's Final Hours

The Wolf will be dead by lunch. The conspirators agreed. He had a meeting with Benito Mussolini and his chain of command. That would be his last meeting. In 1944 and 1945, The Valkyrie plot, the bunker gas plot, and Rommel’s coup contributed to the fall of Nazi Germany and the death of Adolf Hitler, the leader of the Nazi Party.

Adolf Hitler, known to many as the Wolf, was blinking rapidly to adjust his eyes in the luminous sunlight outside the dank Fuhrerbunker. He had been spending long hours in that bunker making plans for the war. The Allied forces had been closing in, drawing ever nearer. They already made it to France and were growing ever nearer to the motherland. Hitler had become increasingly nervous, and he had used the majority

He had heard little of the allied leaders, but one in particular he knew of and feared. American General George S.

He chose image over sacrifice, and fifteen minutes later, the man that Patton and Eisenhower considered their true opponent was dead. Albert Speer was a German citizen who worked with American spies to figure out how the fuhrerbunker was configured so he could attempt a gas attack. He set off the gas while the Wolf was away, but he did not know that an explosion was needed to make the gas poisonous. When the fuhrer came back and discovered that his own countrymen were against him, paired with the fact that the allies were drawing closer than ever, he came to a grim resolve.

In the final year of his life, the failed attempts to take Adolf Hitler’s life were probably just as important as the allied advance. With his empire crumbling around him, the fuhrer grew despondent. Just like the third reich, Hitler let the hammer fall, leaving Blondi alone to howl at the
