Nazi Germany has been crushed, but is the war really over?
Klara, Hitler’s personal cook, swears she glimpsed him fleeing the Berlin bunker via a secret tunnel.
The world needs undeniable proof of the Fuhrer’s death, but it’s not that simple. While Allied intelligence agents scour Europe to find such proof, and a Hitler double – ‘the Wolf’ – lays a false trail across two continents, the real Hitler hides out in a Polish monastery, desperate to find his gold train so he can fund the Fourth Reich.
Klara, already pregnant with Martin Bormann’s child, is one of the countless women brutally raped as Russian forces take Berlin. She miscarries and can’t help wondering if she will ever be free of the war’s burden.
Meanwhile, her sister Natalka is working with the Polish government, tracking down and executing Nazi fugitives. She locates Klara and recruits her to help track Hitler: as his former cook, Klara can infiltrate his inner circle. They find Hitler’s hideout via a tip-off. Klara makes tentative contact: the Fuhrer, weakened and isolated, is thrilled to have her back as his cook – and companion. He feels no threat from her but – profoundly traumatised by the war, the death camps, the rape and miscarriage – Klara can take no more. Following a defining act of conscience, she gains closure at last, for both herself and the crippled world.
But one final twist awaits, revealing a future she couldn’t possibly have imagined!

A fantastic series!

Steve Matthews has bought it all home with the ending to his ‘Hitler’ trilogy – Hitler’s Resurrection. A true tribute to the ending of the Second World War, mixed with the mystery of what really happened to Hitler. Did he really commit suicide in the bunker or did he make his escape? Hitler’s Resurrection is just one of many different stories regarding what happened to Hitler, and one that can’t be missed. A gripping, nail biting spin, Hitler’s Resurrection begins with the Russians ransacking Berlin. A once proud city, it now lays in ruins with carcasses of both human and animals laying around. But the true horror is what happens to the living rather than the dead and the screams can still be heard as the Russian have their ‘fun’.
The final book centres around Hitler, his old cook Karla, a character whose codename is ‘Wolf’ and plays as Hitler’s double, and for a short while Goering – till his suicide at the Nuremberg trials. They all play a very important part in this story but how important, well, you’ll have to read it to find out. A great book for all fans of the Second World War, Hitler or history. If you haven’t read Steve’s books, then I recommend that you start with the first Hitler’s Brothel and go from there. This is a trilogy that can not be missed. I highly recommend it!

I have previously read Hitler’s Brothel and Hitler’s Assassins, both of which had me absolutely captivated. Each volume captures WWII, the events and figures involved in a new angle and I could not resist turning page after page. Although I didn’t read the previous volumes in order, each one related well. I especially enjoyed how Steve highlights the strength of women as an ongoing theme. As a big fan of WWII novels and thrillers, I highly recommend this trilogy to absolutely anyone and everyone!

Hitler’s Resurrection is definitely a page-turner right to the end. Matthews takes the reader on an adventure of intrigue and suspense – with hope for a new world as the pages thin out towards the end.

At last Hitler’s Resurrection has arrived and it did not disappoint! I loved the first two books in the series (Hitler’s Brothel and Hitler’s Assassins) and have been hanging on for the final book to see what happens to all the characters. Everything is drawn to a satisfactory conclusion, along with the authors’ interpretation of Hitler’s whereabouts after the war. Some intriguing events as the Allies go in search of Hitler – did he die in the Berlin bunker or not? I loved the twist at the end (no spoilers here!) and must say that the series made me think about everything that took place between 1939 and 1945 and how I would have reacted or behaved had I been involved. These books and the characters within them will stay with me for a very long time.

Hitler’s Resurrection was every bit as good as the first two books in this trilogy and as thrilling as I expected. Some terrific twists and turns (the author’s trademark) and at times the story was quite confronting. Clearly, Matthews does not shy away from the realities of war and the horrors inflicted on innocent people. I thought the inclusion of a Hitler double (the Wolf) added a new dimension to the story and it was also satisfying to see the return of Klara and her sister in their roles after the war as Nazi hunters! The end of the book left me feeling that there can always be hope for people in the most hostile circumstances.

It’s very clear the author has taken a great deal of time to research this period in history.

What a fantastic way to end this series a little sad to see this series close,

I highly recommend this book to a mature audience, if you’re a fan of Historical Fiction in particular wartime fiction then The Hitler Trilogy is a series worth investigating.
I gave this book five stars because of the way in which strong women are portrayed throughout this book without taking away their other elements like heart or emotions; for quite some time so much of that time in history was given to honouring the man and of course, we should do that without question but it’s nice to see real woman, a woman with feelings given a voice.
Hitler’s Resurrection is one book that will stay with this reader forever.
The other main reason I found myself drawn to this series was author Steve Matthews ability to conjure up these characters in the minds of a reader, some you’ll cry for some you’ll loath with every fibre of your being, written in such a way at times it felt as if they were in the same room as you whether they be good or evil.
Matthews has put pen to paper in such a way you can’t put the book down,
The Hitler trilogy is a series I think everyone should read at some point in their life.
Hitler’s Resurrection is the perfect way to end this series
…this series is facts mixed in with Fiction, but it is so well woven thanks to the authors writing style, you barely notice;
