Against a background of war torn Germany recovering from a disastrous defeat in World War I, the many reasons for the rise and fall of Adolf Hitler are dramatized convincingly, including Hitler's scandalous affair with his young half-niece, Angela "Geli" Raubal who committed suicide. Or was she murdered to cover up the fact that she was beginning to talk?

Goering, Goebbels, Hess, and Himmler are all there well characterized to show their connections to the most powerful and evil man of the century. The intesnive war time damage, the good and the bad in people, the twists and the surprising turns of fate are played out as a gigantic tragedy, when Hitler 'legally' commits his friends and supporters to death, as well as his millions of enemies.

Sergeant Strobel, an interesting character and Hitler's former superior, provides a creative outlook for the man who went from a Viennese street sweeper to the height of power. The mysterious end of Hitler, a very new and practical version transpires.
