DVD: Blind Spot: Hitler’s Secretary

In 1942, Traudl Junge was an apolitical 22-year-old chosen from a clerical pool to work as one of Adolf Hitler’s private secretaries. Working day-in, day-out for Hitler, Junge viewed him as a surrogate father figure, private and polite, nothing like the crazed rhetorician of his speeches. Shielded from the knowledge of Hitler’s acts of atrocity and convinced she was in the center of information, she was actually in a blind spot. As the Nazi regime teetered on destruction and Hitler plunged further into madness, Junge witnessed everything up to the final chaotic days in the bunker. Silent for almost 60 years, Junge finally decided to recount her experiences in this award winning documentary filmed just months before her death. https://cosmiccauldronbooks.com.au/p/until-the-final-hour-traudl-junge-with-melissa-muller/
