70 years ago / BBC timeline

red flag70 years ago today Hitler shot himself in his bunker. If you click here you will get an article from The Independent by Rose Troup Buchanan exploring some facts surrounding the Nazi leader’s final hours. Here  explores Time Magazine archives to explain how the world learnt the news. Both articles are worth reading.

However, more directly useful for our course as it comes to a conclusion is this excellent interactive timeline from the BBC. Entitled Hitler – Man and Monster, it provides both a strong summary to our work and some first class hard evidence. It is designed to support the BBC2 series The Dark Charisma of Adolf Hitler. The first episode can be found on the iplayer here.
