The Fall of the Reich: The Final 100 Days tells the harrowing and historically rich story of how the Third Reich unravelled during its final, desperate months between January and May 1945. What was once a seemingly invincible Nazi war machine had by 1945 become a hollow shell—crumbling under the weight of defeat, dissent, and destruction. From the failed final offensive in the Ardennes to the thunder of Soviet artillery at the gates of Berlin, this book tracks the intense and often chaotic events that sealed Hitler’s fate and reshaped the modern world.

Reinhard Höhn (1904-2000) est l’archétype de l’intellectuel technocrate au service du IIIᵉ Reich. Juriste, il se distingue par la radicalité de ses réflexions sur la progressive disparition de l’État au profit de la «communauté» définie par la race et son «espace vital». Brillant fonctionnaire de la SS – il termine la guerre comme Oberführer (général) –, il nourrit la réflexion nazie sur l’adaptation des institutions au Grand Reich à venir – quelles structures et quelles réformes?
