From then on, Himmler apparently inundated Wulff with demands. When would Hitler die? Wulff claims he predicted the Führer's demise for the end of April 1945 (the actual date was April 30).

Martin, who owes his flowery last name to a Swiss grandfather, is a dreamy Russian youth who is pried from his comfortable calendar of winters in St. Petersburg and vacations in the Crimea by the 1918 revolution. He emigrates via Yalta to Greece, Switzerland, and England, where he eventually studies at Cambridge.
