The Hitler Scoop - Hunt for Führer's Body

At the end of what was effectively the last day of the war, Hitler grasped his personal physician by the shoulders and told him: ‘You must get away from here. Get out of that uniform, into your ordinary clothes and go back to being the doctor on the Kurfurstendamm! You must act as if you’ve never seen me. If you are asked, say you never even knew me!’
‘You see,’ the doctor told a young English reporter, twenty-two years later: ‘Even at what he thought was the end of his life he was showing that he cared for me, and for my wife.’
What happened in embattled Berlin later than night, and elsewhere in the following weeks and even years, was to rock newspaper offices in London and Hamburg, the intelligence services of three continents, and the Vatican.
For the doctor cared for the man he called Patient A, just as much as his Führer cared for him…
Drawing on a lifetime’s experience in Fleet Street, the Middle East, the USA, Ireland and Germany and with interviews, letters and research into personal and medical diaries and intelligence archives, one reporter now pieces together the rest of the story, as it was told to and uncovered by him.
The Hitler Scoop is an extraordinary account packed with real-life history and personalities. But even today it can be related only under the guise of ‘fiction’…

Truly sensational... It is a ripping yarn filled with vivid characters, fuelled by gripping twists and turns and a narrative that reveals not only the extent of the writer's research but also his deep insight into newspaper methods and the murky world of intelligence agencies. The Northern Echo
