What happens in Moloch from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 2-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
In the spring of 1942, a few months before the notorious Battle of Stalingrad, Adolf Hitler, Leonid Mozgovoy, withdraws to his secluded Berghof Retreat, perched atop a hill in the Bavarian Alps near Berchtesgaden, to unite with his longtime companion Eva Braun, Yelena Rufanova. Eva Braun spends her spare time with trivial pursuits that stand in stark contrast to the world-shaping shadow of the war: she dances in the nude, hums along to marching-band music, and noisily rummages through Hitler’s personal belongings, finding small pleasures in the quiet of the mountains.
