Hitler knows what he wants, and he wants the Lawrence maps. They are cartographic gems drawn by the late Lawrence of Arabia that explain how to take and defend every major position in the Middle East. Hitler can’t do without them. He knows oil will win the next war, and he doesn’t want to be on the losing side again as he was in the Great War when he was only a corporal. So he does everything humanly possible to get hold of them. This struggle is what makes up the plot of Captive At The Berghof. Dora thinks at the beginning that she didn’t realize when she married Edward that she was consenting to a duel to the death with the Nazi dictator.
