Berlin was no longer defensible. The Russians had occupied almost all of the city. The hour for Adolf Hitler to carry out his resolve had come. His bride apparently had no appetite for lunch that day, and Hitler took his meal with his two secretaries and his vegetarian cook. While they were finishing their lunch at about 2:30 p.m., the Fuehrer's chauffeur received an order to deliver immediately 200 liters of gasoline in cans to the garden. Kempka, the chauffeur, had some difficulty in rounding up so much fuel, but he managed to collect some 180 liters. While the oil to provide the fire for the Viking funeral was being collected, Hitler, together with Eva Braun, his bride, made another and final farewell to his most intimate collaborators: Dr. Goebbels, Generals Krobs and Burgdorf, the secretaries, and Miss Manzialy, the cook.
