Berlin, May 1945. Notes

In May 1945, among the ruins of the fallen Berlin, Hitler"s charred corpse was discovered and identified. Young military translator, guard, Lieutenant Elena Kagan, who passed the war from Rzhev to Berlin, turned out to be a direct participant in these events. But only 20 years later, the writer Elena Rzhevskaya was able to talk about how it was. Her book “Berlin, May 1945” was published with large censorship bills, but even in such a cut -out form, she made a sensation, revealing the "Secret of the century". And only now this legendary book is published in the full author"s version. The key witness preserved in the personal archive of the Rzhevsky memoirs, thanks to which the Fuhrer was identified, are published for the first time
