The Last Days of The Third Reich

From Spiegel Online in 2011: An interview with historian Ian Kershaw. An excerpt:

SPIEGEL: The system functioned until the end. Only a few months before the end of the war, applications for building permits were being submitted and approved, and wages were being paid. The last concert of the Berlin Philharmonic took place on April 12, 1945.

Kershaw: And the Soviet offensive on the German capital began four days later. The audience sat in the unheated auditorium of the Philharmonic, wearing heavy coats, while (Wilhelm) Furtwängler conducted Symphony No. 4 by Bruckner.

SPIEGEL: And on April 23, 1945, Bayern München defeated TSV 1860 München in the Munich football derby.

Kershaw: Yes, they won 3:2. When I read that, I was so shocked that I thought the date might be wrong. But it was correct.
