Part 3/9:
Hitler's isolation reached its peak as he hid within his bunker, shielded from burgeoning realities outside. Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels kept the Führer cloaked in a bubble of fabricated victories, while the civilian population faced devastation from relentless bombings, leading to chaos as basic supplies dwindled. Hitler’s refusal to acknowledge the dire circumstances contributed to the regime's chaotic disintegration, culminating in his suicide on April 30, 1945, as Soviet forces closed in on Berlin.
