In 1942 Germany; Traudl Junge was a young woman with dreams of becoming a ballerina when she was offered the chance of a lifetime. At the age of twenty-two she became private secretary to Adolf Hitler and served him for two and a half years; right up to the bitter end. Junge observed the intimate workings of Hitler’s administration; she typed correspondence and speeches; including Hitler’s public and private last will and testament; she ate her meals and spent evenings with him; and she was close enough to hear the bomb that was intended to assassinate Hitler in the Wolf’s Lair; close enough to smell the bitter almond odor of Eva Braun’s cyanide pill. In her intimate; detailed memoir; Junge invites readers to experience day-to-day life with the most horrible dictator of the twentieth century.
