    General Kohler flew from Berlin to Bavaria that morning and brought inaccurate news about the underground bunker at the Chancellery.  <-> G?ring later drafted a telegram and sent it to Berlin that night: "My F¨¹hrer: Since you have made the decision to stay in Berlin, do you agree, in accordance with the announcement of June 29, 1941?  Order, as your deputy, I immediately take over all leadership of the empire, with full freedom to handle domestic and foreign affairs? If I don¡¯t receive your reply before 10 o¡¯clock tonight, I will consider you to have lost your freedom of action.  , and have determined that the conditions are ripe for the implementation of your previously issued orders, I will take action in the best interests of our country and our people. You know, for you, this is the saddest moment in my life. I cannot  Put into words how you feel at this time. May God bless you and hope you will come to me soon. Yours faithfully, Hermann G?ring.¡±

    For Bormann, it should not be difficult to arouse Hitler's suspicion of G?ring now.  Goering later sent a second telegram to Ribbentrop, summoning him to discuss the matter, which further convinced Hitler that Goering was committing an act of outright treason.  Bormann drafted a reply in which he harshly rebuked G?ring and relieved him of all posts, titles, and command powers.  However, he has another option: he can resign from all positions on health grounds, which would shield him from further charges.  Goering had no choice but to agree.  Nonetheless, on Bormann's orders, an SS guard surrounded Berghof and G?ring became a de facto prisoner.  To G?ring's indignity, the kitchen was locked to prevent the disgraceful Reich Air Marshal from poisoning himself.

    After the farce passed, Speer went to visit Mrs. Goebbels.  He found her lying on a bed in a cement room, pale from an angina attack.  Goebbels had little time for her.  Later around midnight, after Hitler had rested.  An orderly arrived and told Speer that Eva Braun had invited him to come to her place.

    Eva ordered champagne and cake to be prepared, and then the two talked about the past: Munich, the ski holidays they spent together, and life at Berghof.  Speer has always liked Eva Braun. Facing Eva, Speer said frankly: "You are a girl from Munich, an unknown person. I admit that I admire you very much, because you know that at this moment  Still retaining a dignity and an almost cheerful calm!¡±

    However, Eva smiled lightly and said: "He is because of his existence!"

    Speer knew exactly who he had to be with Eva.  But neither of them was talking at this moment.

    The orderly came back at 3 o'clock in the morning and told them that Hitler had woken up again.  Speer left Eva to say a final goodbye to the person who had made him famous.  The goodbye lasted only a moment.  Hitler's attitude was both abrasive and cold - Speer, his once best friend, was now completely gone from his mind.

    That night, Eva Braun wrote her last letter to her sister Gretel Fegelein.

    "Hermann is not with us," she said, referring to Grete's husband. "Hermann went to Naun to organize a battalion or some other force." Eva didn't know.  Fegelein's trip to Naun was actually for an aborted secret meeting with Himmler, which was part of their plan to sue for peace with the Western Allies.  "He wanted to fight his way out and continue the resistance in Bavaria, probably for a while anyway." She was clearly wrong.  Her brother-in-law had climbed too high to be just a Nazi.

    In her own innocent world, the very practical Eva Braun then began to focus on her own priorities. She wanted Gretel, her sister, to destroy all her personal letters.

    ¡°Be sure not to let others discover Heise¡¯s bill!¡± Eva said in the letter.

    Heize is her tailor.  Eva did not want the public to know how extravagant she was in the name of the F¨¹hrer.  She once again showed concern about jewelry disposal. "Unfortunately, my diamond watch is in the process of being repaired," she wrote.  She asked Gretel to find SS 3rd Sturmbannf¨¹hrer Stegemann.  Apparently it was he who arranged for the watchmaker to repair the watch.  The clockmaker was undoubtedly a Jew who had been "evacuated" from the Oranienburg concentration camp during the last death marches.

    The German civilians who were about to face Soviet rule knew nothing about the actual Soviet rule system.  While the war rages on in the streets, in their rooms, and even in the basements where they hide, they also have more important problems to solve.  April 26 was Saturday, and on this morning, there was a thunderstorm, which put out some fires.  But what is strange is that the burning smell does not decrease but seems to increase.

    The civilian casualties have already been hugeIt¡¯s over.  The women who queued for food were like Napoleonic foot soldiers. When bombs thinned the ranks, they simply moved forward in the queue, making it tighter.  No one dares to lose his position.  Shockingly, the women simply wiped the blood off the 'ration cards' the Germans issued to civilians and handed them over.  Then it stood upright like a wall. Anna wrote in her diary, "Not long ago, when they heard the warning that three Soviet fighter jets were flying over the center of Germany, they would rush to the bunker.  , but now they ignore death.¡±

    The women queued up to receive the distributed butter and dried sausages, while the men received only a serving of spirits.  This seems to have some symbolic meaning. Women are only concerned about immediate survival issues, while men need to temporarily forget the consequences of the war.

    The lack of water sources in residential areas puts many people waiting in line for water at greater risk.  Women carrying buckets and enamel kettles lined up at the nearest street water pipe to wait for water. From time to time, the sound of metal grinding at the joints of the water pipe handles could be heard.  They found that they had changed after being exposed to gunfire.  Swear words and vulgar language that they would never have used before now slip out of their mouths easily.

    Anna also wrote about these in her diary: "In these days, I noticed again and again that not only me but almost all women's feelings towards men have changed. I feel sympathy for these poor men, they see  They look so pitiful and weak in strength - it turns out that men can also become fragile. Facing the Soviet attack, a collective dissatisfaction among Berlin women seemed to be about to burst out. The German Nazis highly praised strong men as their ideal  The dominant male world is being shaken, and the aura of glamor that surrounds men is disappearing.¡±

    The Nazi regime never thought of letting women participate in war or other things that would hinder their ability to support their husbands and raise children. Now, the Nazi regime is desperate to call on young women to fight alongside men.  The few radio stations still broadcasting issued an appeal to women and girls: "Pick up the weapons of the wounded and dead and go into battle. Protect your freedom, protect your dignity, protect your  Life!" Germans far away from Berlin heard the broadcast and were shocked by "the most extreme consequences of this total war."  However, only a few young women took up arms, most of them serving as reserve forces for the SS.

    In the basement of the residents¡¯ room, the couples from upstairs ate in silence, avoiding each other¡¯s eyes in a panic.  They were more like a family on a long journey in a train carriage, eating a picnic with each other in a pretentious manner.  But when news broke that a nearby barracks had been abandoned, the men's gentleness was wiped out.  German civilians who had always been law-abiding suddenly turned into crazy looters of stores. Men, women and children in the family all went out to rob whatever they saw.  After leaving the store with the box in their hands, everyone will look at other people's illegal gains and start bartering on the spot.  There is of course no fixed black market ratio, but it is mainly based on temporary or special needs - a piece of bread for a bottle of brandy, a flashlight battery for a piece of cheese.  Stores that had long been closed were also looted. Some people and relatives still remember the scene in the winter of 1918 in Berlin very clearly. This was another generation of "hamsters" storing food for an upcoming disaster.

    ?Hunger is actually not the main threat.  No matter how much Germany publicizes it, some people are still not fully prepared for the shock that the Russian revenge will bring.

    ¡°We had no idea what was going to happen,¡± Lufthansa secretary Gerda recalled the scene.

    Relatives who served in the military on the Eastern Front never mentioned how they treated Soviet civilians.  Even when Germany bombarded women in Berlin with warnings about the dangers of rape, many reassured themselves that there would be dangers in the countryside, but here in the city it wouldn't happen in plain sight.

    Gerda once snatched an Air Force pilot's malt flakes from a railway wagon in New Cullen.  She is a 19-year-old girl who lives in the same building with another girl of similar age.  The girl's name was Kallmann, and she was a member of the Hitler Women's Association, the women's equivalent of the Hitler Youth.  Kallmann admired Luftwaffe pilots and had many posters of aces on her bedroom walls. She cried bitterly when the most famous ace, Molders, died.  (To be continued.)
