Mystery of Herr Rudolf Schultz

Carl Fischer, the last survivor from the Führerbunker, is dying. When his old friend Joseph Blum visits him in his final days, he is entrusted with Carl's many journals - which expose the truth about the fate of the most despised monster of the twentieth century, Adolf Hitler.

Through Carl's eyes, the reader is drawn into those final days in Berlin, with harrowing details of life at the barricades, life in the Führerbunker, and its aftermath. The real fate of Adolf Hitler, according to Carl's first-hand experience, flies in the face of accepted history.

The author worked for several years in West Berlin, where history was made, meeting survivors who watched it happen. Having witnessed the destruction of their city, many Berliners expressed doubts about the suicides in the bunker, and suggested various explanations of how Hitler could have escaped. This historical novel is a work of fiction, but it provides a compelling alternative account of Hitler's final fate.
