Until the Final Hour: Hitler's Last Secretary by Traudl Junge

4.0

Really interesting, a bizarre read because it humanises Hitler and turns him into ‘just’ a young woman’s boss. I read the edition with the prologue giving a background on Junge and the epilogue that meditates on how Junge grappled with her own complicity with the system in later years. I think both sections really enhanced reading the memoir section, and to be honest I wish there had been more about Junge’s reflections on her experience. Slightly hard to keep track of who everyone is, definitely a worthwhile read.
