Virginie Girod traces the life of Magda Goebbels, wife of Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels.
From its history, we remember a fateful moment which took place on May 1, 1945. The day before, Adolf Hitler committed suicide.
In the Führer's bunker, eight meters underground in the gardens of the Reich Chancellery, Magda Goebbels gathered her children.
Calmly, she hands a glass to each of them, explaining to them that it is time to take a “little nap”… How did the first lady of the Reich come to kill her children?
This story is a Europe 1 Studio production.
