Blind Spot: Hitler's Secretary (2002)

Immersed in the chilling depths of Adolf Hitler's private life, Traudl Junge served as his personal secretary from the autumn of 1942 until the dramatic downfall of the Nazi regime. From Hitler's secluded Wolfsschanze in Obersalzberg, to his private locomotive, and ultimately, his bunker in the war-ravaged capital, Junge was a silent observer of history's darkest chapter. It was to her Hitler entrusted his last testament, a moment forever etched in her memory. In her profoundly riveting first on-camera interview, an 81-year-old Junge unveils her extraordinary life. Filmmaker Andre Heller, in the spring of 2001, persuaded Junge to preserve her invaluable recollections, resulting in an intimate testament of the Second World War, narrated by a key eyewitness, over half a century later. Junge's account is not just the retelling of events she witnessed. It is a journey into her own transformation from a naive young girl, oblivious and somewhat admiring of Hitler, into a vehement opponent of National Socialism. Even after decades, she grapples with a painful self-awareness and a struggle to forgive her younger self for her ignorance and naivete. "Blind Spot: Hitler's Secretary" offers a unique perspective, a haunting revelation of a woman living in the shadow of history's most notorious figure.

Blind Spot: Hitler's Secretary is a documentary movie featuring Traudl Junge and directed by André Heller.
