Hitler’s Bodyguard: “I was in Hitler’s suicide bunker”

As a student of history, I find this story interesting. An inside look at an important time in world history:

Rochus Misch is the last survivor of the Hitler bunker. He is the final witness of the drama that took place there on 30 April 1945. It was the day Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun committed suicide.

"Suddenly I heard somebody shouting to Hitler’s attendant: ‘Linge, Linge, I think it’s happened.’ They’d heard a gunshot, but I hadn’t. At that moment Martin Bormann, Hitler’s private secretary, ordered everyone to be silent. Everyone began whispering. I was speaking on the telephone and I made sure I talked louder on purpose because I wanted to hear something. I didn’t want it to feel like we were in a death bunker.”

Very interesting article. Read the rest here.
