Journey back in time to Berlin's most fateful year - 1945 - through the eyes and voices of those who experienced it - ordinary German people and the Allies who entered the city.
At the beginning of 1945, Berlin remains under the spell of the Nazi promise of salvation, an illusion at odds with the city's daily reality.
Every day there are bombing attacks, fires to be extinguished and corpses to be buried.
Life goes on as the front lines of the war close in each day.
Death comes for men, women, the old, the young, the National Socialists and the forced labourers.
In April, the Red Army stands ready outside the city.
In a time of uncertainty on the front lines, nobody has a clear view of what will happen.
Civilians hiding, SS soldiers shooting deserters, and Red Army soldiers hoping to survive the final days of the war.
As the war comes closer and closer to the metropolis, it returns everything to its roots, showing no mercy.

Hitler's People
Channel: Curiosity Channel (DStv 185)
TX Time: 22h00
Genre: Documentary, History
How was Adolf Hitler able to count on the German public even in the face of unspeakable suffering and impending doom?
Evocative and previously unseen private archive footage, much of it in colour, shows life in Nazi Germany from 1933 onwards till the end of the Nazi regime in 1945.
This documentary is an intimate and revealing portrait of the German people under Hitler, and how they lived and perceived the world.
In 1933, Hitler was appointed German Reichskanzler.
While not technically the head of the government, he managed to reconstruct the country entirely.
In early 1943, Joseph Goebbels made his notorious "Total War" speech about being "faithful to the last," but was it enough to restore German faith?
