The world did not know it yet, but the final week of the Third Reichs existence had begun. Hitler was dead, but the war had still not ended. Everything had both ground to a halt and yet remained agonizingly uncertain.Volker Ullrichs remarkable book takes the reader into a world torn between hope and terror, describing how each day unfolds. With Hitler dead, Berlin in ruins and the war undoubtedly lost, the process by which the fighting would end remained horrifyingly unclear. Many major Nazis were still on the loose, wild rumours continued to circulate about a last stand in the Alps and the Western allies falling out with the Soviet Union.All over Europe, millions of soldiers, prisoners, slave labourers and countless exhausted, grief-stricken and often homeless families watched and waited for the wars end. Eight Days in May is the story of people, in Erich K stners striking phrase, stuck in the gap between no longer and not yet.
