An interview with Traudl Junge, one of Adolf
Hitler
?s private secretaries from 1942 through the collapse of the Nazi regime, in which she tells it all. 2003 National Theatrical Release.
A Must See for "Why" of following Hitlet. One Perspective
I admire Traudl Junge for her honesty. I could see myself doing just as she, in the isolated world she inhabited. In my view, she cannot be held accountable for all the evils of the time. Having been a
secretary
myself, I guess I could relate to her experience. I worked in a research facility as a secretary; I didn't know what each individual lab was doing in that building. Also consider that she didn't have a father and had a hole in her heart; she was therefore easily led by her need. She took the job to better herself, not even realizing that the typing test was for a personal secretary to
Hitler
. She wanted out of the mailroom. She wanted more money in her paycheck as we all do. This isn't excusing the whole terror of the time, but in this woman's everyday life she was like a hamster in a wheel.

NOT the first extensive Traudl Junge DVD interview!
The reviewer from the New Yorker said, "After the war, she kept herself and her story out of sight until two Austrian filmmakers, André Heller and Othmar Schmiderer, interviewed her two years ago, shortly before her death."
Wrong.
A much younger Traudl Junge, along with Albert Speer (a few years after finishing his 20-year Nürnberg sentence) and other Führerbunker survivors spoke extensively on camera throughout "The World at War," often speaking excellent English. "TWAW" also shows original German and allied film of events described and depicted in "
Blind
Spot
," the outstanding "Downfall," and related films.
I do not understand how any professional reviewer, especially for the New Yorker, could presume to discuss this DVD without being familiar with "TWAW" and other historic documentary works. These, along with Shirer's "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich," writings of Churchill and Speer and other contemporaries at the focus of events, are just a few items which any decent scholarship should include among even rudimentary homework for reviewing "Blind Spot" authoritatively.
Instead, the New Yorker subjected us to the bungled effects of their own collossal blind spot.

Blind Spot - Hitler's Secretary
It seems to always be refreshing to hear History from one who lived it.
Blind
Spot
accomplishes the refreshing.
Misleading Description, She WAS Interviewed In The 1970's.
Just to set the record straight and I'm sure many of you know this, she was interviewed first by the BBC/Thames for the documentary "The World At War" which was made around 1974! I just wanted to point that out since the description says she was quiet until just a couple of years ago which would make it around 2003, thats inaccurate. I think once you have seen her in The World At War interview and seen the movie Downfall, we know where she is coming from. I would not waste my time on seeing anymore of this
Hitler
admirer. Her descriptions of Hitler in the bunker are totally different then Speer's account in his autobiography, I am sure Adolf could be different things to different people and I think the person Speer's recounts was the real Hitler.
