HITLER’S NURSE TALKS ABOUT THE LAST DAYS OF THE THIRD REICH. What’s amazing is how much death and madness were there—and how much this nurse seems to have found all of that quite normal.
About Hitler: “His authority was extraordinary. He was always polite and charming. There was really nothing to object to.”
With the Russians nearing the capital: “The circle got increasingly small. People were pushed together. Everyone became more unassuming.” She noted that the staff in the bunker began living “outside reality.”
On her efforts to save the children of Joseph and Magda Goebbels, who killed their children with poisoning before taking their own lives: “She was a brilliant woman, on a far higher level than most people. I wanted her to take at least one or two of them out of the city. But Mrs Goebbels simply said, ‘I belong to my husband. And the children belong to me.’”
...The paper noted that Hitler’s decision to marry Braun made it “immediately clear to me that this signified the end of the Third Reich”, she added, claiming that the death of Hitler’s wolfhound Blondi “affected us more” than Braun’s suicide.
It seems to me that that’s the effect that the evil the Third Reich did, had on them: it made them crazy and suicidal.
