As Hitler's personal driver from 1934 to 1945, Kempka provides a rare firsthand account of life within the Führerbunker during World War II's final days. His memoir details his duties, including driving high-ranking officials and witnessing pivotal moments, such as Hitler's marriage to Eva Braun and the chaotic atmosphere as the regime crumbled. Kempka recounts the harrowing task of burning Hitler and Braun's bodies amid Soviet bombardment, followed by his perilous escape from Berlin and subsequent interrogation by American forces before testifying at Nuremberg.
