2
30th of April 1945.
3
General Helmut Weitling stands at the entrance of the Führerbunker.
4
In his hand is a message that can save thousands of lives.
5
Before giving the message to Hitler, he must pass through three security checkpoints that turn away even the highest ranking officials.
6
Around him, Berlin is collapsing.
7
Failure is not an option.
8
Walking down the corridor, he sees the first guard checkpoint.
9
He hands the soldier sitting at the desk his identification and says, I'm General Helmut Weitling.
10
I urge you to lead me to Caesar Führer.
11
Weitling gets a nod of approval.
12
The soldier gives a two-tap code, and the hermetic seal is broken.
13
Weidling walks in.
14
The easiest checkpoint is passed, but as he moves closer to Hitler, the security only grows stricter.
15
General Weidling has just entered the first area known as the Vorbunker.
16
Before he can deliver the message, he'll have to pass by two more checkpoints.
17
Underneath him is a floor that is eight and a half feet deep made of concrete.
18
Above him, the ceiling is 9 feet thick.
19
Even though they might be protected from bombs, it's the thought of capture that creates intense fear and anxiety inside.
20
The American and British forces are advancing rapidly through Western Germany, capturing critical major cities Munich, Nuremberg, and Hamburg.
21
The Nazi's position is becoming weaker by the day.
22
The first section of the Vorbunker holds a huge air purification system running constantly.
23
giving the underground city its breathing power and preventing gas attacks.
24
The dining area lies along the corridor, right next to the kitchen where meals are prepared for everyone, including Hitler's vegetarian dishes.
25
Next is the storage and food pantry.
26
With the city surrounded, Weidling knows the bunker's rations will soon be depleted.
27
Down the hallway, he focuses on the next security checkpoint, Checkpoint, the entrance to the Fuhrerbunker where Hitler and his most important Nazis live.
28
Here is Magda Goebbels bedroom and lounge where she and her six children live.
29
This is Joseph Goebbels family, the propaganda chief and one of Hitler's most trusted men.
30
Known to be one of the most violent anti-semitic members of the party.
31
Neighboring the Goebbels is the guard and guest quarters.
32
This area slept Hitler's personal staff.
33
including his three secretaries, military personnel, bodyguards and temporary guests.
34
Weidling is currently the head of the Berlin Defense Area, the last thing stopping the Soviets from completely taking over the city.
35
Despite this high rank, he still might not get permission to pass this second checkpoint.
36
I need to speak to the Führer, says Weidling.
37
What's your business? replies the guard.
38
Viadling looks at him sternly and says, That's not for you to know.
39
The guard inspects his identification and picks up the phone.
40
The Fuhrer bunker is protected by a nearly 12-foot thick steel reinforced concrete ceiling.
41
On top of that is a few feet of compacted earth.
42
Alongside this, to give the High Command more protection, the floor is 6.5 feet thick, and each room is protected by walls over 1 meter wide.
43
This guard post is his only way in or out.
44
Your weapons, please.
45
Weidling hands the soldier at the door his pistol.
46
Go through.
47
Replies the guard at the desk.
48
Weidling walks down the stairs.
49
As he approaches the next door, Juhlheim Bergdorf comes out and asks Weidling what he needs that's so urgent.
50
Weidling responds, I need to speak to the Führer immediately.
51
The Führer cannot speak to you right now.
52
I will relay the message.
53
This message is for me to give to the Führer.
54
This city is in chaos.
55
Let me through.
56
Bergdorf looks at him suspiciously.
57
The soldiers gripped their guns tighter.
58
By this stage of the war, trust had nearly vanished.
59
Treachery was on the rise, and confidential information was being leaked to enemies daily.
60
Something they could have avoided if they had incognito.
61
In the US alone, identity theft happens every 22 seconds, with each victim losing an average of $500.
62
Identity thieves can open credit card accounts and take out loans in your name, with you having to face all the consequences.
63
Every day your personal information is being bought and sold by data brokers.
64
Not just your name, but your home address, browsing history.
65
The amount of information they have on you is shocking.
66
Fortunately, there is a solution.
67
Incogni reaches out to data brokers who are selling your personal data and starts demanding that your information is taken off.
68
If any of these third parties object, then Incogni repeatedly pushes them until all of your information is erased.
69
First, create your account, grant access to work on your behalf, then sit back and watch from your dashboard as Incogni fights to remove your personal data from the internet.
70
Take your personal data back with Incogni.
71
Use code ATRIUM at the link below and get 60% off an annual plan.
72
Veidling's letter could save thousands of lives, but he won't be let through this final checkpoint unless he can convince them of his urgency.
73
A large airplane shell hits nearby, causing the bunker to shake and dust falls from the ceiling.
74
Weidling.
75
I must deliver this message.
76
Brigdorf quickly grabs Weidling's arm and pulls him through the last security checkpoint.
77
As Weidling enters the Fuhrer bunker, the tensions grow stronger.
78
Even though he has managed to pass all three checkpoints, Hitler has executed officers for less extreme messages.
79
Despite housing the most important Nazis, what you find inside the Fuhrer bunker is far from what you might imagine.
80
Meters of damp air and mold stand in the way of General Weidling and Hitler.
81
The whole bunker was built underneath the water table, so generators in the room to his left work overtime to keep the lights on.
82
To the right is the typewriter's room.
83
Young women sit at their desks.
84
Not even a week ago, they were transcribing orders and working diligently, but now they sit idly.
85
The men pierce their gaze up and see into the furthest room.
86
A man begins walking towards them.
87
Initially this room was one of the staff bedrooms, but it's been taken over by the man approaching.
88
Inside there's a small single bed, desk and closet.
89
This man is Martin Bormann, Hitler's most trusted secretary.
90
Bormann knows that Weidling and Bergdorf standing together is not good news.
91
Huddled and speaking in low tones, Weidling explains the situation.
92
Bergdorf agrees to get Goebbels, and Bormann agrees to fetch Hitler.
93
Then they will all meet in the map room where Weidling will break the news.
94
On the walls of this corridor hang paintings espousing the Nazi ideology that is crumbling outside.
95
This large corridor serves two purposes.
96
The top command rooms are connected to this space, which is where they gather and discuss strategy.
97
It also serves as the waiting area for the more intimate conference area, the map room.
98
Almost everyone, including Helmut Weidling, had witnessed Hitler full of rage, madness, and pity curse out high command.
99
Bergdorf knocks on the door to the right of the conference room.
100
After a moment, he hears, Come here, rein.
101
He enters.
102
This part of the Fuhrer bunker serves several roles.
103
The room is both Goebbels and the bunker's doctor's office.
104
Inside there's a small medical bed and cabinets with medicines and tools.
105
There's also a desk where Goebbels works.
106
The farthest back is Dr. Ludwig Stumpfeger's bedroom.
107
He is Hitler's personal physician and surgeon.
108
Inside there's a small cramped bed and nightstand with a lamp.
109
Next to it is Goebbels' personal bedroom.
110
He switches between sleeping here and his family's room above in the Vorbunker.
111
Bergdorf gets Gerbel's attention and tells him there is an emergency
112
and that he needs to join them in the map room immediately.
113
Opposite to Gerbel's office, across the corridor, is Hitler's section of the bunker.
114
The first room is Hitler's office.
115
Inside, Bormann sees modest items and a small desk with a black phone.
116
He walks into the next room.
117
This is Hitler's lounge.
118
It has a wide couch placed against the back wall.
119
In the corner is an oxygen tank.
120
He always kept one nearby because he feared suffocating.
121
In front is a small coffee table with papers and a thick red rug underneath.
122
On the opposite wall is a small desk with some books and a large painting of Frederick the Great, Hitler's hero, hanging on the wall.
123
Hitler shared this living space with Bondi, his German Shepherd.
124
To the left of this is his partner Eva Braun's room.
125
Inside, there's a small bed, closet, and table.
126
Hitler's room is not much different.
127
It has a slightly larger table with two chairs, a small bed, some cabinets, and a picture of his mother, which he would take wherever he went.
128
The room also contains a large safe.
129
Rather than expensive belongings, experts believe sensitive documents were locked inside, including Nazi dealings with foreign governments and highly classified intelligence.
130
As it was lost to history, the truth will never be known.
131
Orman tells Hitler that Weidling has an urgent message that they both need to attend to in the map room.
132
Inside the small war room, the decorations are sparse.
133
It has a cold metal table at its center and a large outdated map hanging on the wall.
134
It shows the greatest extent of the now long gone Nazi empire.
135
Weidling takes out a map and extends it on the table.
136
Whatever happens next is beyond his control.
137
Not too long ago, Hitler experienced one of the darkest moments of his life.
138
His second in command, Heinrich Himmler, the chief architect of the Holocaust, had gone behind his back and tried to negotiate a peace treaty with the Allies.
139
Hitler found out about this secret negotiation through a BBC radio report.
140
Hitler raged at this betrayal and told those still with him in the bunker complex
141
that Himmler's secret negotiations were the worst treachery he had ever known.
142
Hitler ordered Himmler's arrest and the people associated with the negotiations were to be shot on sight.
143
Weidling is deeply concerned about the punishment he might face, even though his circumstances are very different.
144
A small crowd begins to gather, and the various members of the remaining High Command are inspecting Weidling's map.
145
Hitler walks into the room.
146
Place at ease, he says.
147
Weidling's moment of truth arrives.
148
He knows it can't possibly go well.
149
The Soviets are achieving consistent major breakthroughs.
150
We have been pushed back hundreds of meters from all major directions.
151
They are less than a kilometer away from the bunker.
152
There is worse news, my Führer.
153
Weidling feels the room close in on him as he delivers the important message.
154
Berlin will run out of ammunition within the next 24 hours.
155
We have only a small number of bullets.
156
Airdrops are no longer reaching our defenses and we have only a small amount of soldiers left.
157
Hitler does not interrupt him.
158
He stares at the map.
159
My Führer, I suggest we try to escape this city.
160
We have already lost fifteen thousands of our youngest soldiers.
161
Hitler breaks his sentence.
162
That's what young people are for.
163
Weidling almost stutters.
164
He goes for his trump card.
165
I have already drafted an order.
166
We can begin the escape immediately.
167
All we need is your signature.
168
At this moment, Goebbels speaks up.
169
What you are suggesting is a fantasy.
170
The Fuhrer cannot simply run away.
171
Feidling's heart beats rapidly.
172
Sweat forms on his forehead.
173
Everyone in the room knows that the once almighty Fuhrer is no longer the commander he once was.
174
Within the last weeks, he has become delusional and refuses to believe that victory is not possible.
175
He speaks one last time.
176
Gentlemen, we won't leave Berlin.
177
Reach out to the generals outside the city.
178
They will be able to deliver the decisive blow to the Soviets.
179
He stands up and exits the room.
180
Weidling stands in silence.
181
On April 30, 1945, Adolf Hitler was found dead alongside Eva Braun, whom he married in the conference room less than 40 hours earlier.
182
Einzlinge, Hitler's valet, was the first to discover the scene.
183
While looking for Hitler, he smelt gunpowder in the damp air outside his living quarters.
184
However, he could not enter the room due to the door being locked.
185
He immediately called for Bormann, and the two men kicked open the door and laid eyes upon the aftermath.
186
Both bodies were taken to the Führerbunker's emergency exit, which led to the Reich Chancellery Garden above the bunker.
187
Resources were so scarce that SS guards hastily buried Hitler's body in a shell crater
188
and siphoned gasoline from abandoned cars nearby to burn the remains.
189
Once the fire had died down, the leftovers were buried with mud and dirt to conceal them entirely.
190
In the hours that followed, several high-ranking Nazi officials in the bunker also refused to surrender.
191
This includes Joseph Goebbels, the Minister of Propaganda, who manipulated the entire country,
192
laid to rest his six innocent children before himself alongside his wife, Magda.
193
Magda.
194
General Weidling decided to surrender, hoping to save the remaining lives under his command.
195
On May 2nd, he ordered the last defenders of Berlin to lay down their arms.
196
However, isolated groups of German troops without this knowledge continued to resist until the unconditional surrender on May 7th.
197
The structure that once housed Nazi Germany's high command
198
was blown up by Soviet and later East German forces in the post-war years.
199
However, because of its robust design, some of it still remains today, dismantled and abandoned.
200
The man responsible for the deaths of 6 million Jews, 2 million Poles, 3 million Soviet prisoners of war alongside the destruction of Europe,
201
was unceremoniously buried in an unmarked grave that today is a parking lot.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
