Felix Steiner: The General Who Refused Hitler’s Final Order | WW2 Documentary
In the final days of World War II, one name echoed through the chaos of Hitler’s bunker — Felix Steiner. Once a respected German general and commander of the Waffen-SS Wiking Division, Steiner became an unlikely figure in the dying moments of the Third Reich. When ordered to launch a hopeless counterattack to save Berlin, he made a fateful choice: he refused.
This documentary explores the true story behind Hitler’s last stand — the man, the myth, and the impossible order that symbolized the end of Nazi Germany. Discover who Felix Steiner really was: a professional soldier, a strategist shaped by two world wars, and a commander trapped between duty and delusion.
Through verified historical facts and a calm narrative, we look at Steiner’s life, his military career, and the events of April 1945, when history itself seemed to collapse. No glorification, no ideology — only a thoughtful exploration of how one decision defined the last days of a regime.
If you’re interested in World War II history, forgotten commanders, or the final days of the Reich, this story offers a rare, human look at a moment often lost beneath myth.
