Hitller's Nurse Breaks Silence on His Final Days
After 60 years, Red Cross nurse Erna Flegal, who served in Hitler's bunker the last days before his suicide, and during the time that Magda Goebbels killed her six children, agreed to be interviewed by The Guardian.
- Here is the transcript of her interview with The Guardian
- More interesting is her CIA interview after Hitler's suicide.
The final paragraph of the Guardian interview leaves much to be desired. Ms. Flegel is evasive, hardly apologetic:
Guardian: Do you regret your role in the Third Reich? Or was this an exciting period for you?
Flegel: It's difficult when you have a society (the Nazis) and it's discussed afterwards by the left or the right. Often it's seen wrongly. Everyone has their own opinion.
Ms. Flegel is 93, has never married and resides in a nursing home in Germany. She is mobile and lucid. The only grudge she seems to harbor is against Eva Braun, whom she portrays as lacking in personality, importance and intelligence, almost as the Guardian notes, as no more than a groupie.
Her admiration for Magda Goebels, expressed in the CIA interview, is perverse:
She was far superior to the average human being. It took a resolute spirit to decide to sacrifice her own children.
Update: Dachau was liberated 60 years ago this week.
