He is regarded as one of the world's leading experts on Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany. Kershaw served as historical adviser on numerous BBC documentaries, notably The Nazis: A Warning From History and War of the Century. He taught a module titled 'Germans against Hitler'. The End: Hitler's Germany 1944 45 is a historical narrative charting the course of World War II between the period of the failed 20 July plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler in July 1944, by Stauffenberg, until late May 1945, when the last of the Nazi regime's leaders were arrested and the government dissolved. Kershaw has said that this particular period had been an "unresolved issue" for him as he had never written on the final stages of the war. Kershaw looks for answers to the question of why Germany did not capitulate when there was no chance of victory.
