12 Things you were not told about Adolf Hitler
and National-Socialist Germany
“After
visiting these places, you can easily understand how that within a few years Hitler
will emerge from the hatred that surrounds him now as one of the most significant
figures who ever lived.”
– John F. Kennedy
Adolf
Hitler was raised in a middle class family, and during the early years of his life his
family even went through a difficult period of starvation. After being a
soldier in World War I,
on January 30th 1933,
he found himself head of the German government, fulfilling
the dream of every poor and middle class person who ever sought to make it big.
We are all familiar
with the story of Hitler that the United States would like you to
believe. Hitler has been made out to be one of the most “evil” people to have ever lived,
slaughtering millions of innocent Jews. This same story
has been echoed throughout
Hollywood for
decades, and by now it’s safe to say billions of dollars have been
spent to convince you of this black and white, good vs evil perspective about
the National-Socialist regime. What if it isn’t
entirely accurate?
After investigating the work of others who have documented history in an unbiased
fashion,
as well as those who have
interviewed people who worked and lived alongside Hitler, there
is strong evidence to suggest that what we’ve been told is extremely inaccurate. A completely
new examination of Hitler and National-Socialist Germany during
World War II is
required, and from
this examination a different story is sure to emerge.
Here are 12 things you were not told
about Adolf Hitler and National-Socialist Germany:
1. Hitler
Broke Free from the International Banking Cartels
When Hitler’s period as Chancellor
of Germany began, the German people had no work,
no money and were starving. A wheelbarrow full of 100 billion-mark banknotes could not
buy a loaf of bread at the time, and many Germans were living in shacks
after countless
homes and farms had been seized
by Rothschild/Rockefeller-controlled banks.
In his 1967 book The Magic of Money,
Hitler’s Reichsbank President,
Dr. Hjalmar
Horace Greeley Schacht, let out the big secret:
“The mark’s dramatic
devaluation began soon after the Reichsbank
was “privatized,” or delivered to private investors.”
In other words,
responsible for the post-war hyperinflation was not the German government,
but rather the privately owned central bank in Germany, and its monopoly it had over
the
creation of money. Germany’s
economy was crashed and devastated by bankers…
that is, until Hitler arrived.
After Hitler was elected, refusing to play ball with the
Rockefeller-Rothschild rules, one
of
the first things he did was fix the corrupt, debt-based financial system. By completely
thwarting the international banking cartels, the National-Socialist government
issued its
own currency known as Reich Marchs,
which were debt free and uncontrollable by
international financial interests.
Debt Free Finance = Freedom
If America nationalized their currency as Hitler did for Germany, they would effectively
sever
all ties with international bankers,
the manipulation of their government and economy would
cease, and they would live debt-free. Just as Hitler issued debt-free currency for Germany,
Abraham Lincoln setup an interest free banking system
in the United States when he was
President,
and he was murdered for it. Former US president Andrew Jackson issued
interest-free currency, and two shots were fired at his head in an assassination
attempt,
but the shots misfired
and he survived. John F. Kennedy issued interest-free currency
during his presidency and we all know how he met his untimely demise.
After Germany’s
public banking system was installed, world Jewry responded by declaring
war on Germany, including a global boycott of German goods. Within two years,
the
German economy was flourishing with
its new-found stable, and inflation-free currency.
2. Hitler
Created a Thriving Economy
with No Unemployment
After setting up a public banking system, Hitler began his
reign by constructing new roads,
bridges,
dams, canals, port facilities, and much needed repair of public and private buildings.
Everything was done
with public money that owed no interest to the International “Banksters”.
As Hitler said, “For every Mark issued, we required the equivalent
of a Mark’s worth of work done, or goods produced.”
Next, the NATIONAL-SOCIALIST government encouraged women to be homemakers,
and all the work being done to repair and improve the country’s infrastructure
and transportation
created jobs for men.
The unemployment problem had been solved
within only two years, and Germany was back on its feet.
It’s often been claimed, that
Hitler’s success in reviving his nation’s economy was based
largely on government spending for rearmament. This is a myth. As the renowned
British
historian A. J. P. Taylor
noted: “Germany’s economic recovery, which was complete by
1936, did not rest on rearmament; it was caused mainly by lavish expenditure on public
works, particularly on motor roads, and this public spending
stimulated private spending
also, as [British
economist John Maynard] Keynes had said it would. …while nearly everyone
else in Europe expected a great war, Hitler was the one man who neither expected
nor planned for it.”
–
A. J. P. Taylor, From Sarajevo to Potsdam (Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1975), p. 140.
3. Hitler Emphasized Respect for Women,
Children and Strong Family Values
During
the economic hardship just before Hitler was elected, Germany was seeing a
declining rate of birth. In 1933, hitler passed a law that enabled married
couples to obtain
interest free loans minimum
1000 Reich Marks (equal to 9 months salary) to set up homes
and start families.
For each child birthed, the couple was allowed to keep 250
marks and did not have to
repay it.
This system pioneered by the National-Socialist government exists today in
Switzerland. In the eyes of Nazis, women were viewed as the preservers of the
tribe, the guardians of future generations, and the priestesses
of domestic virtue.
Recognizing that families are the primary unit around
which a functioning society is built,
Hitler
emphasized the principle of maintaining a strong bond among family members.
Admired for his high regard for mother’s, families were inspired and strengthened
under the leadership of Hitler.
Poor families were
helped by using financial incentives, and family allowances, marriage
loans and child subsidies were provided equally to each and every segment of society.
4. National-Socialist Preservation
of Environment and Animals
Under
the National-Socialist regime, mishandling an animal was considered a heinous
crime, and if somebody was discovered mistreating an animal, they were sent
to [work]
camps. As someone with great
admiration for animals, Hitler showed great concern for
animals native to Germany, and passed laws that ensured their safety and well-being.
In 1934, Hitler passed a law called Das Reichsjagdgesetz (the Reich Hunting Law), which
regulated how many animals could be killed per year, and to establish proper
‘hunting seasons’. This law has now been
adopted by most western countries.
Animal conservation was included in Primary, Secondary and College
levels, and in 1935,
the Reichsnaturschutzgesetz
(Reich Nature Protection Act) was passed. which placed
several native species on a protection list including the wolf and Eurasian lynx.
It is likely that this law saved some native forest-inhabiting
species from going extinct.
The Nazi’s were also the first to create environmental
protection laws in history. The
German
Imperial Conservation law of 1935 was passed, which protected “remaining
portions of landscape in free nature whose preservation on account of rarity,
beauty,
distinctiveness or on account of
scientific, ethnic, forest, or hunting significance lies
in the general interest.”
“[It
is] useful to know the laws of nature – for that enables us to obey
them. To act otherwise would be to rise in revolt against heaven.”
– Adolf Hitler
Hitler was a well-known lover of animals.
5. Hitler Banned Experimentation
on Animals (Vivisection)
‘Nazi’
Germany was the first country in the world to ban vivisection, or any experimentation
on live animals. With its great concern for animal conservation, and human
treatment, a complete ban of vivisection was enacted in April
1933.
The Prime Minister of Prussia Hermann Goring has said:
“An
absolute and permanent ban on vivisection is not only a necessary law to protect animals
and to show sympathy with their pain, but it is also
a law for humanity itself…. I have therefore
announced the immediate prohibition of vivisection and have made the practice a punishable
offense in Prussia. Until such time as punishment
is pronounced the culprit shall be lodged
in a concentration camp.”
(Above) This German cartoon depicts
animals that were saved from vivisection
saluting
Hermann Goring. The sign in the window reads “Vivisection Forbidden”.
6. Hitler Funded Research into
“Free Energy” Technologies
Hitler
was well aware that in order to truly escape the stronghold of economic manipulation
by the international banking cartel he would need to find a way to eliminate
Germany’s
dependence on oil. An inexhaustible
source of energy that was not monopolized by the
private money cartels was required for true sovereignty, and this is what Hitler sought.
This pursuit led Germany to develop what has been called The Nazi Bell, which is described
by author Joseph P. Farrell as “a
hyper-dimensional physics device being researched under
the auspices of the SS departments Entwicklungstelle-IV, Forschung, Entwicklung, und
Patente, and SS General Hans Kammler’s super-secret
weapons black projects
think-tank, the
Kammlerstab.“
According to Farrell, “the mission brief of the Entwicklungstelle IV was to
develop free energy and to make Germany independent of
foreign oil.”
The National-Socialist Bell was designed, in Farrell’s estimation, for a threefold
purpose:
Energy Independence
Advanced
Propulsion Technology
A Weapon of Tremendous Power
In his book Babylon’s Banksters, Joseph P. Farrell points to evidence that after the War,
the United States made every effort to reconstruct the
personnel team that worked on
the National-Socialist
Bell, so that they could develop the technology for themselves
and restore the balance of power between “National-Socialist International”
and
“Anglo-American” elite factions.
7. German Workers Were Well-Treated
With
the goal of enhancing the standard of living for all German citizens equally,
Adolf Hitler stimulated the spirit of integrity, comradeship and happiness, by
funding numerous worker’s welfare
programs including:
– Highly Subsidized International vacation trips.
– 134,000 theater
and concert events for 32 million people (Between 1933-1938).
2 million people went on cruises, and – 11 million went on theater trips.
–
Every citizen was given a radio.
– A 5 day work week for all citizens.
– Free Public
Health.
– Hitler’s government banned Trade Unions, and it was mandatory
that all workers had to join the German labor Front trade
union.
– Every large factory had to provide
rest areas, cafeterias, dressing
rooms, even
playing fields and swimming pools for its workers.
During the Third Reich, German workers
were
better treated than at any time
before, or since.
8. Organized Industrial Production & Farming
As opposed to the current American economy, where production is driven by the pursuit
of maximum profit, Hitler initiated a policy of self-sufficiency, where
the goal was to produce
only what is required
by Germans. The goal of the National-Socialist government was to
produce for its country everything the German people needed without
having to rely on imports to meet the needs of its citizens.
Along with the calculated production of material goods, new policies were introduced so
that the aim of farming was to produce what German’s needed,
not what was most profitable.
The government
subsidized the farmers for loss of profit and farmers
were given guarantees that all of what was grown would be purchased.
9. Hitler
Eliminated Crime
and Improved
Health of Germans
By giving social misfits and criminals jobs, Adolf Hitler
was able to reduce the crime rate
in Germany.
In his 1976 book The Twelve-Year Reich, author R. Grunberger stated that
there were significant drops in the rates of murder, robbery, theft, embezzlement
and petty
larceny during the Hitler
years.
Many foreigners were impressed by the improved outlook and health of Germans, including
Sir Arnold Wilson, a British M.P. who visited Germany
seven times after Hitler came to power.
“Infant mortality has been greatly reduced and is considerably
inferior to that in Great Britain,”
wrote Wilson. “Tuberculosis and other diseases have noticeably diminished. The criminal
courts have never had so little to do and the prisons
have never had so few occupants.
It is a
pleasure to observe the physical aptitude of the German youth. Even the poorest
persons are better clothed than was formerly the case, and their cheerful
faces
testify to the psychological improvement
that has been wrought within them.”
10. No Citizen Will Starve or Freeze

canister used for collections during the Winter Relief Fund.
A prime philosophy of Germany
at the time was that all citizens should share the same
standard of living. With this in mind, National-Socialist Germany boasted one of the largest
public welfare programs in history with the slogan “None
shall starve nor freeze”. Every
year,
high-ranking Nazi’s and citizens would take to the streets to collect charity for
the unfortunate, which generated a feeling of comradeship toward those in need.
They even went to the extent of publishing names of those who didn’t give charity
in
the paper as a punishment or reminder
of their neglect. According to Mark Weber of the
Institute for Historical Review,
“On one occasion, a civil servant
was prosecuted for failure to donate, and his argument
that it was voluntary was dismissed on the grounds it was an extreme view of liberty,
to neglect all duties not actually prescribed by law, and therefore
an abuse of liberty.”
11. The National-Socialist Anti-Tobacco
Mission
National-Socialist
doctors were the first to write a major scientific paper linking smoking
to lung cancer. Following this report, smoking was banned in restaurants
and public transportation
systems. Advertising
of smoking and cigarettes was severely regulated by the Nazis,
and tobacco tax was raised to deter people from smoking. In what was one of the most
expensive and effective anti-tobacco movements in history,
numerous German health
organizations began
educating the public that risks of miscarriage were heightened when
pregnant women engaged in smoking.
National-Socialist Anti-Tobacco Ad:
“He does not devour it, it [the cigarette] devours him!”
In the year 1940, while annual cigarette consumption per capita
in America was over 3,000, in Germany it was only 749.
Hitler prohibited
the sale of cigarettes to women.
Hitler prohibited smoking for people under the age of 18.
Hitler
prohibited smoking for people in uniforms.
Hitler prohibited smoking in public areas.
Hitler was the first
to place “warning” photos of cancerous lungs on cigarette boxes.
12. National-Socialists Created
a Culture that Cherished Music
Recognizing the importance weaving
music into the fabric of a country rich in culture, Hitler
founded the State Music Institute in 1933 after he came into power. Its purpose was to
promote the timeless work of composers such
as Beethoven, Mozart, Brahms, Wagner,
among
others. The Nazis ensured that every German citizen had a radio.
Youngsters were
encouraged by the National-Socialist government to pursue music
as a career in order to preserve the rich ancient German cultural heritage.

10 Reason why Hitler was one of the Good Guys – by Digger
All these points are verifiable. They just take a bit of objective, independent research.
1/. He never wanted to kill any Jews
Whenever
you hear anyone espouse (repeat) the lies about Hitler the nasty Jew-killer.
Please always make a point of asking this very simple question:
“Where did you get that information from?”
Perhaps we all at some point have repeated this fable. Why would we not, when it’s
shoved down our throats 24/7, year in year out for decades(?) There hasn’t
been a man on this planet who has been demonized as much as Herr
Hitler.
If Hitler wanted to kill Jews, why oh why throughout all his speeches and
manuscripts and
his book Mein Kampf did
he not mention this? Did he just forget? No, he didn’t
say or write it BECAUSE HE HAD NO INTENTION OF KILLING THE JEWS.
No matter what
amount of destruction he had observed done by the Jews to his people;
he had enough self-discipline and ethical code not to take revenge. Being a strong
character, he was able to rise above the darkness, the
demonic standards of the Judaic
mindset
and show self-restraint and humility.
That is why he created ‘containment work camps’
for the Jews and certainly NOT death camps.
2/. He cared about conditions for the Jews in the work camps
Unbeknown
to billions of people the Nazi camps were not death camps, nor were they
places to carry out human experiments. They were simply containment camps.
Something
had to be done with these destructive
anti-social Jews who were strangling Germany.
Thanks
to the Jews, Germany had lost it’s moral code and had become debased
and de-cultured, does that ring a bell?
Something had to
be done! And Hitler did do something – he placed all the Jews in
containment camps to allow Germany to breath again. But – this is the key point
in this
essay/piece. He did it in
a way which was ethical. The camps had decent sufficient food
(bearing in mind it was war time), they had theaters, swimming pools, football pitches,
post offices where inmates could communicate to the outside world,
kindergartens,
art and music recreation
and even prostitutes.
Quality sanitation within the camps was paramount and that is why the inmates clothes
were regularly de-loused with Zyklon B gas. There were
no human gas chambers……
THAT
IS A BIG FAT KOSHER LIE;
to which
the world has had to endure for over half a century.
My theory is that if there had not have
been a war effort, Hitler would not have even
made the Jews work. AND I bet you the containment camps would have been luxury
rehabilitation centers. In order to slowly de-programme the Jews from their
mind control cult.
3/. He had compassion for other sentient
beings
Many
historians claim he was a vegetarian. I believe this is true, but whether it is or not,
the point is he had a clear connection and affection for his fellow creatures.
I’m not
suggesting just because
he may have been a veggie that therefore he was a good
person; but this was a man of compassion and that he recognised the importance of
compassion in society. He had so much affection for his German
shepherds (picture below
with his
beloved dog). He banned all animal experimentation, recognising it to be evil.
Hitler could see the connection between all life forms. It was his level of
consciousness.
Respect for nature, animals
and human life.
4/. He tried to prevent the destruction
of his fellow Europeans
Numerous
occasions Hitler tried to warn and assist his fellow brethren about the Jewish
trap they had fallen for and who really was behind all the warmonger. He
dropped fliers
from planes trying in vein
to prevent Germany and Britain fighting. He initially wanted to
make alliances with Britain. Many occasions he gave opportunities to opposing European
forces, where he could have slaughtered them. It was
his internal spiritual angst for him
to be
fighting (defending) amongst his European brothers and sisters. He did all
he could to avoid war, he was not the warmonger we all have been led to believe.
5/. He cared passionately about his people and German heritage
Hitler
observed the degrading machinations of the Jews in Austria and Germany. It not
only disgusted and angered him, but saddened him to see how these two nations
were
being destroyed from the inside
out like a cancer – a cancer that his sleepy folksmen could
not see. The exact same angst those of us who are Jew-conscious find ourselves in. He
was a man who cared about society, a man who cared about
culture, who cared about
nature, about
moral values and about building and improving as opposed to
destroying and degrading.
He was a man who had fought for his country, in the trenches
and been hospitalized for
his country.
How many of our sell out politicians today can claim that? He was a true
spokesman of the people, for the people who had diligently worked his way up from
grass roots. From microcosmic pep talks to his fellow
workman on building sites, to talks
in beer
houses, to speeches in basements, to town halls. As well as all the behind-the-scenes
work and risks. Slung in jail, mocked and defamed. Endless tireless work
to resolve
the destruction of his peoples.
I would also strongly suggest he cared about all peoples. Yes, including
black people, despite the kosher myth he was a supremacist racist.
6/. He was a humble man, from a humble background
Can
any of us name one present western politician who can claim that these days?
No, today they’re all criminals, fed through the kosher criminal system.
All built on
materialistic gain and
kudos. All content with serving the beast for their
demonic and self-serving interests. Their greed and hubris having no boundaries.
Hitler worked on
building sites as a laborer for crying out loud. How many of these
leaches under the guise of politicians do you know have that background? He was
also a humble street artist, barely scraping a living
together. Some days he had to
decide whether
to spend his meager earnings on a political book, or to eat –
he opted for the former. Now that is passion in politics and a drive for social reform.
7/. He held correspondence with Mahatma Gandhi
This alone doesn’t
necessarily suggest he was a good person. But more that Gandhi
and Hitler were in alignment on many issues. They both recognized the evil force they
were up against and both were coming from a humanitarian
position. The bottom line
is Gandhi would
not have corresponded with a so-called evil mad
dictator hell bent on wanting to kill the Jews and rule the world.
8/. He was
a man of God
Hitler was NOT an atheist – despite what the Jewish propaganda machine
wants us
to believe. He often made references
to God and spoke in terms of a Divinity. He was
somebody
who could clearly make the connection between Divine law and Natural laws.
He was spiritually and morally driven throughout all his political career.
Read his book Mein Kampf to see his consistent
reference to Christian values.
9/. He implemented cultural and social reform
Throughout Hitler’s political career, his common theme was about ‘cleaning up’. He had
seen the filth the Jews had created and desperately wanted Germany
to reverse these
degrading trends.
He banned supermarkets, because he wanted local small businesses
to prosper. He banned degrading modern art, as he recognised it for what it was. He banned
vivisection (animal experiments), because
in his wisdom he could see how futile and
unnecessary they were.
He encouraged healthy youth activities and social programmes
to enhance cultural pride
and individual
self worth, such as sports and recreational activities. He encouraged men
to be men and women to be feminine. He helped develop beauty, cleanliness
and pride
back into the German people.
10/. He stamped on usury / eliminated debt slavery
This subject links in most of the points in this list and what Hitler achieved as a leader.
But I thought it was essential that this
topic was highlighted in isolation, as it was probably
the single most important act of bravery and compassion Hitler offered to his people.
Unfortunately this act alone was enough to piss off
the Jewish IMF and therefore create WW2.
Usury is the elite Jews most powerful
and demonic weapon amongst their whole armament
of destructive weapons. More powerful than their poisons and even their mind control
techniques. Because it’s their use of compound interest that enables
them to create a
stranglehold on every industry
and therefore every level of society.
Nobody can escape usury – everybody is infected by it.
That is why Hitler created
his own independent currency as a first move when he came
to power. And hey presto – that is why Germany was able to get back on it’s feet and
flourish as all nations should.
Hitler recognised the judaic invention of usury as unlawful,
ungodly and unnatural – and as a talmudic curse which has crippled every host nation
the Jews have entered into and ultimately, that which brings
about their demise.
Hitler freed his people of this curse.
In Conclusion
Hitler was probably the hero of the
second world war and the 21st century. A man of
ethical
courage, a man of spiritual perception and good intent. A spiritual soul who cared –
cared about all life forms, all cultures, about goodness and Light and ultimately
about Truth.
Because he was one of the good guys.

Two
Adolf Hitler speeches – Demonstrating much of what National
Socialism is really about: Community, Comradery, Altruism…
You can watch these speeches on YouTube – search: This is National Socialism
Hitler
Speech Extract 1- National Socialism: Community and Altruism
“A new community
is being built in Germany, and it is our most beautiful goal and aim.
Those who can’t even see past their own nose deserve our pity more than anything
else.
It is the luck to help, which
rewards those who commits themselves to this socialist state,
and this commitment must happen every new winter. Our social welfare system is so
much more than just charity. Because we do not say to the rich
people: Please, give
something to
the poor. Instead we say: German people, help yourself! Everyone must
help, whether you are rich or poor! Everyone must have the belief that there’s always
someone in a much worse situation than I am, and this person
I want to help as a comrade.
If
one should say: Yes, but do I have to sacrifice a lot? That is the glory of giving! When
you sacrifice for your community, then you can walk with your head held up
high…”
Hitler Speech Extract 2 – National Socialism:
German Youth and Comradery
“A new state cannot simply fall down from the sky, instead it has to grow from within the
people. Because when I need loyalty, belief, confidence,
fanaticism and commitment, then
I must turn
to where I can still find these values, and these values can
always be found in the people themselves, in the masses of the people!
My German
youth, just as we’re gathered here, my young comrades, as part of the life of
the people, so must the rest of the people. It was not always so. In the past, people
did
not want to understand each
other. Each thought only of themselves. At best, their class
alone. We have been witnesses to the consequences of this aberration of the spirit. In
your youth you must safeguard that which you possess, the great
feeling of comradeship
of being part
of the group. If you hold on to this, then there is no force in the world who
can take it from you. You will be one people bound together as tightly as
you are now.
As German youth, our only hope,
the courage and faith of our people. You, my youth,
are indeed the living guarantee of the living future of Germany – not an empty idea – not
an empty formalism, or an insipid plan. No! You are
the blood of our blood, the
flesh of our
flesh, and the spirit of our spirit. You are the continuation of our people…”

Rochus Misch, Adolf Hitler's Loyal Bodyguard
Rochus Misch, who served as Adolf Hitler's devoted bodyguard for most of World
War II and was the last
remaining witness to the great german
leader's final hours in his Berlin bunker, has died just few years ago.
He was 96 and died in Berlin after a short illness. Misch remained proud
to the end about
his years with Hitler, whom he affectionately called "boss."
In a 2005 interview with
The Associated Press, Misch recalled Hitler as "a
very normal man" and gave a riveting
account of the Führer's last days
before he and his wife Eva Braun killed
themselves as the Soviet Red Army closed
in around their bunker in Berlin.
"He was no brute. He was no monster. He was no superman," Misch said.
Born July 29, 1917, in the tiny Silesian town of Alt Schalkowitz,
in what today is Poland,
Misch was orphaned at an early age. At age 20, he decided
to join the SS — an organization
that he saw as a counterweight to a rising
threat from the left. He signed up for the
Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler, a unit
that was founded to serve as Hitler's personal protection.
"It was anti-communist, against Stalin — to protect Europe,"
Misch said.
"I signed up in the war against Bolshevism, not for Adolf Hitler."
But when Germany
invaded Poland on Sept. 1, 1939, Misch found himself in the vanguard,
as his
SS division was attached to a regular army unit for the blitzkrieg attack.
Misch was shot and nearly killed while trying to negotiate the surrender of a fortress near
Warsaw, and he was sent to Germany to recover. There, he was chosen in May 1940
as one of two SS men who would serve as Hitler's bodyguards and general assistants,
doing everything from answering the telephones to greeting dignitaries.
Misch and comrade Johannes
Hentschel accompanied Hitler almost everywhere
he went — including his
Alpine retreat in Berchtesgaden and his forward
Wolf's Lair headquarters.
He lived between the Fuehrer's apartments
in the New Reich Chancellery and
the home in a working-class Berlin neighborhood
that he kept until his death.
"He was a wonderful boss," Misch said. "I lived with him for five years. We were the closest
people who worked with him ... we were always there. Hitler was never without us day and night."
In the last days of
Hitler's life, Misch followed him to live underground, protected
by the
Fuehrerbunker's heavily reinforced concrete ceilings and walls.
"Hentschel ran the lights, air and water and I did the telephones —
there was nobody else,"
he said. "When someone would come downstairs
we couldn't even offer them a place to sit.
It was far too small."
After the Soviet assault
began, Misch remembered generals and NS brass coming and
going as they tried
desperately to cobble together a defense of the capital with the ragtag
remains
of the German military.
He recalled that on April 22, two days before two Soviet armies completed their
encirclement of the city, Hitler said: "That's it. The war is lost. Everybody can go."
"Everyone except those who still had
jobs to do like us — we had to stay," Misch said.
"The lights,
water, telephone ... those had to be kept going but everybody
else was allowed
to go and almost all were gone immediately."
However, Hitler clung to a report — false, as it turned out — that the
Western Allies had
called upon Germany to hold Berlin for two more weeks against
the Soviets so that they
could battle communism together.
"He still believed in a union between
West and East," Misch said. "Hitler liked England —
except for
(then-Prime Minister Winston) Churchill — and didn't think that a people
like the English would bind themselves with the communists to crush Germany."
On April 28, Misch saw Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels and Hitler
confidant Martin Bormann enter the bunker with a man he had never seen before.
"I asked who it
was and they said that's the civil magistrate who has come to perform
Hitler's
marriage," Misch said. That night, Hitler and longtime mistress Eva Braun
were married in a short ceremony.
Two days later, Misch saw Goebbels and Bormann talking with Hitler
and
his adjutant, SS Maj. Otto Guensche, in the bunker's corridor.
"I saw him go into his room ... and someone, Guensche, said that he
shouldn't be disturbed,"
Misch said. "We all knew that it was happening.
He said he wasn't going to leave Berlin,
he would stay here."
"We heard no shot,
we heard nothing, but one of those who was in the hallway, I don't
remember if
it was Guensche or Bormann, said, 'Linge, Linge,
I think it's done,'" Misch
said, referring to Hitler's valet Heinz Linge.
"Then everything was really quiet ... who opened the door I don't remember,
Guensche
or Linge. They opened the door, and I naturally looked, and then there
was a short pause
and the second door was opened... and I saw Hitler lying on
the table like
so," Misch said, putting his head down on his hands on his
living-room table.
"And Eva lay like so on the sofa with knees up, her head to him."
Misch ran up to the chancellery to tell his superior the news and then
back
downstairs, where Hitler's corpse had been put on the floor with a blanket
over it.
"Then
they bundled Hitler up and said 'What do we do now?'" Misch said. "As they took
Hitler out ... they walked by me about three or four meters away. I saw his shoes
sticking outside the sack."
An SS guard ran down the stairs and tried to get Misch to watch as the two were covered
in gasoline and set alight. "He said, 'The boss is being burned. Come on out,'"
Misch recalled.
But instead Misch hastily retreated deeper into the bunker to
talk with comrade Hentschel.
"I said 'I saw the Gestapo upstairs in the ... chancellery, and it could be that they'll want to
kill us as witnesses,'" Misch said. But Misch stuck to his post in the bunker —
which he
described as "a coffin of concrete" — taking and directing
telephone calls with
Goebbels as his new boss until May 2, when he was given
permission to flee.
Goebbels, he said, "came down and said: 'You have a chance to live. You don't have to
stay here and die.'" Misch grabbed the rucksack he had packed and fled with a few others
into the rubble of Berlin.
Working his way through cellars and subways, Misch decided to surface after hearing
German being spoken above through an air ventilation shaft. But the voices came from
about 300 soldiers who had been taken prisoner, and the Soviet guards grabbed him as well.
Following the German
surrender May 7, Misch was taken to the Soviet Union, where he
spent the next
nine years in prisoner of war camps before being allowed to return to Berlin
in 1954. He reunited with his wife Gerda, whom he had married in 1942 and who died in
1997, and opened up a shop.
At age 87, when he talked with the AP, Misch still cut the image of an SS man, with a rigid
posture, broad shoulders and neatly combed white hair. He stayed away from questions
of guilt or responsibility for the "Holocaust", saying he knew nothing of
"the murder of 6 million Jews".
