Even the biggest nightmares can begin in a joyous, almost childlike manner. It is always dangerous to wish something to happen, as if you wish it your dream may come true.
On July 27th 1941, a train was speeding through East Prussia. On board were the leader of Nazi Germany, Adolf Hitler alongside his lieutenant Martin Bormann, their staff and the Fuehrer’s personal bodyguard. Ten minutes after the train had pulled out of the station it was shaken and blown off of its tracks. Throughout the mangled wreck of steel lay the bodies of many people. A few murmuring, crying for help under the warm summers sun. Amongst them lay Adolf Hitler, unconscious but alive. It would be thirty minutes before help would reach them. Upon arrival it was found that Bormann and several others were dead, but the Fuehrer was still breathing.
He was rushed to hospital where he would receive the treatment expected, in the hope that he would arise from his coma. The whole event was to be kept quiet. At this point Hermann Goering took effective command of the German nation.
And thus began the nightmare years.
