Скачать или смотреть April 30, 1945: Karl Dönitz’s First 24 Hours After Hitler’s Death SHOCKED Everyone

In the last hours of April 30, 1945, a coded message reaches a quiet naval barracks in Plön—and suddenly Grand Admiral Karl Dönitz is told he is now the successor to a collapsing state. As Berlin burns and communications fail, Dönitz is forced to make decisions in the dark: confirm what happened in the bunker, shape a radio address for a nation in shock, and manage rival power centers still circling for control.

Across the Baltic, Operation Hannibal races against time—ships overloaded with soldiers and civilians, sea lanes hunted, disasters unfolding in the cold. At the same moment, U-boats remain deployed, crews still waiting for orders as the end approaches. From Plön to Flensburg, and from Lüneburg Heath to Reims and Karlshorst, this film follows the first 24 hours that defined Dönitz’s rule—how he tried to delay the inevitable, how surrender finally came, and what the human cost looked like when the last orders were sent.
