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 traveled back and forth with Hitler between the Wolf's Lair in eastern Prussia and Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps, and finally to the bunker in Berlin. She typed correspondence and speeches, including Hitler's public and private last will and testament. She ate her meals and spent evenings with him. She was close enough to hear the bomb that was intended to assassinate Hitler in the Wolf's Lair. Finally, she heard the shot with which Hitler ended his life, and smelled the bitter almond odor of Eva Braun's cyanide pill. With this in-depth memoir, you'll experience firsthand Junge's detailed observations of the outwardly normal, almost mundane quality of day-to-day life with one of the most appalling men of the twentieth century. Traudl Junge was born in Munich in 1920. From the end of 1942 until April 1945, she was Hitler's private secretary. After the war, she was sent to a Russian prison camp and later returned to Germany. She died on February 10, 2002, shortly after the publication of the German edition of her book.
