Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Heinz Linge worked with Adolf Hitler for a ten-year period from 1935 until the Führerâs death in the Berlin bunker in May 1945. He was one of the last to leave the bunker and was responsible for guarding the door while Hitler killed himself. During his years of service, Linge was responsible for all aspects of Hitlerâs household and was constantly by his side.
Here, Linge recounts the daily routine in Hitlerâs household: his eating habits, his foibles, his preferences, his sense of humor, and his private life with Eva Braun. After the war Linge said in an interview, ÂIt was easier for him to sign a death warrant for an officer on the front than to swallow bad news about the health of his dog.â Linge also charts the changes in Hitlerâs character during their time together and his fading health during the last years of the war. During his last days, Hitlerâs right eye began to hurt intensely and Linge was responsible for administering cocaine drops to kill the pain. In a number of instancesÂsuch as with the Stauffenberg bomb plot of July 1944ÂLinge gives an excellent eyewitness account of events. He also gives thumbnail profiles of the prominent members of Hitlerâs Âcourtâ: Hess, Speer, Bormann and Ribbentrop amongst them.
Though Linge held an SS rank, he claims not to have been a Nazi Party member. His profile of one of historyâs worst demons is not blindly uncritical, but it is nonetheless affectionate. The Hitler that emerges is a multi-faceted individual: unpredictable and demanding, but not of an otherwise unpleasant nature.
