When Red Army soldiers broke into Hitler's bunker on May 2, 1945, young military interpreter Yelena Rzhevskaya was with them. After the Soviet troops found the charred remains of Hitler and Eva Braun and a stash of key documents, Rzhevskaya was entrusted with the proof of the dictator's death: the teeth wrenched from his corpse by a pathologist hours earlier. Offering one of the few firsthand accounts of the interior of the Führerbunker, Rzhevskaya also eloquently details her experiences during the costly struggles on the Eastern Front that were instrumental in ending the war.
