Traudl Junge Knihy

Osobní vzpomínky Traudl Jungeové, poslední a nejmladší sekretářky Adolfa Hitlera. Než dostala jako dvaadvacetiletá v roce 1942 svou „životní šanci“ v samotném centru nacistické moci, snila o kariéře tanečnice. Byla mladá, bezelstná, až naivní. O politiku se vůbec nezajímala. Nevěděla, nebo spíš nechtěla vědět, co se děje za zdmi téměř idylického pracoviště. Nevnímala Hitlera jen jako státníka a politika, znala ho především jako svého zaměstnavatele, stýkala se s ním při stolování a oficiálních příležitostech, ale zejména při každodenní práci v kanceláři. Jako osobní sekretářka mu byla nablízku také v den jeho sebevraždy 30. dubna 1945. Právě jí vůdce nadiktoval svou politickou i soukromou závěť.

'To have such an uncomplicated, unaffected witness present at some of the key defining moments of the 20th century was fortunate for historians. Frau Junge's book has sold 100,000 copies in Germany and it is easy to see why: her testimony rings absolutely true, when other politically motivated accounts of the last days of Hitler do not' Andrew Roberts, Evening StandardTraudl Junge was 22 years old and dreamt of a career as a ballerina, until the 'opportunity of her life' beckoned and she was appointed as Adolf Hitler's secretary. From 1942 until his death she was at his side in the bunker, typing his correspondence, his speeches and even his last private and political will and testament.It was only after the war that the horrible reality of Hitler's regime began to dawn on her, and she became racked with guilt for 'liking the greatest criminal ever to have lived.' Her journal, written in 1947, is a startling eyewitness account of Hitler's court during its final years, and of the building sense of doom as the war progressed.

Escrita pela secretária pessoal de Hitler, esta biografia inédita do Führer inspirou o roteiro do filme 'A Queda', que marcou a história do cinema por tentar mostrar o lado sensível do homem que se tornou a personificação do mal. É o testemunho fiel de Traudl, uma jovem que durante três anos conviveu diariamente com o ditador alemão e, foi para ela, inclusive, que Hitler ditou seu testamento, dois dias antes de se suicidar.
