Armin Lehmann is an elderly man now, but back during WWII, he was a member of the Hitler Youth as well as the Nazi military. By chance, he's taken to Berlin very late in the war to meet Hitler as well as serve as a courier in the bunker. Lehmann's experiences are the substance of the film, as he sits back and reminisces about this time period. As a result of what he saw, he has since dedicated himself to a life advocating peace.
This short documentary film had good production values and music (though perhaps the music was a bit too dominant towards the end). The only serious problem I had with this film was that it was way, way too short. As a history teacher, I wanted to know so much more--18 minutes just isn't enough. I hope someone records more of this man's and other lives from the period, as these eyewitnesses to this part of our history are quickly vanishing.
