Hitler's Last Secretary
Opis
In 1942 Germany, Traudl Junge was a young woman with dreams of becoming a
ballerina when she was offered the chance of a lifetime. At the age of
twenty-two she became private secretary to Adolf Hitler and served him for
two and a half years, right up to the bitter end. Junge observed the
intimate workings of Hitler s administration, she typed correspondence and
speeches, including Hitler s public and private last will and testament;
she ate her meals and spent evenings with him; and she was close enough to
hear the bomb that was intended to assassinate Hitler in the Wolf s Lair,
close enough to smell the bitter almond odor of Eva Braun s cyanide pill.
In her intimate, detailed memoir, Junge invites readers to experience
day-to-day life with the most horrible dictator of the twentieth century.
