News 2 May 2003Mainstream have acquired world rights (excluding Germany) to IN HITLER'S BUNKER: A BOY SOLDIER'S EYE WITNESS ACCOUNT OF THE FÜHRER'S LAST DAYS by Armin D Lehmann with Tim Carroll. Film rights have been sold to Harris Salomon and German rights have been sold to Luebbe. The book will be launched at the Frankfurt Book Fair in October which the author will attend. A TV documentary will coincide with publication. The deal was brokered by David Blake of A&C Associates. During the last 10 days of Hitler's Berlin, 30,000 German teenagers perished defending their beloved Führer in the Allied onslaught. Armin Lehmann was one of the few boy soldiers who escaped the bloodbath. Like every other member of the Hitler Youth, Armin would have gladly given his life for his leader. But he was not to be sacrificed to the enemy at the gate. Instead he was chosen to serve in the German High Command's bunker complex. It was a stroke of fate that brought him into the company of the most notorious Nazis of Hitler's hated Reich: Bormann, Himmler and Goebbels and, of course, the Führer himself. When Hitler greeted Armin with a friendly tug on the cheek, the 16-year-old boy knew he had been granted a unique part in history. And as the Fatherland braced itself for a bloody Goetterdaemmerung, a drama of Wagnerian proportions unfolded before his young eyes. IN HITLER'S BUNKER is Armin's eye witness account of the Nazi apocolypse. Following the Fall of Berlin Armin was arrested and interrogated by US officers. He was given the choice of accepting what happened and reform himself or continue to delude himself. He chose the former and eventually moved to the United States where he is a peace protester and anti war activist.
