Ruf was an assistant in the bunker in Berlin, where Hitler and many Nazi officers spent their last days.
Johanna Ruf, who witnessed the last days of Nazi Germany, has died at the age of 94. She worked as an assistant in Adolf Hitler’s bunker and was there until her death. At that moment he was 15 years old. Newsweek reported this with reference to journalist Wieland Gibel.
Ruf belonged to the Federation of German Girls Recruited to Work in the Nazi Vault and was one of the last people to see the six children of chief Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels before their parents killed them.
The girl wrote her observations in the bunker on pieces of paper and for a long time they remained only in her memories.
In 2016, she met Wieland Giebel. He began visiting her at the nursing home and helping her work through her old diaries to publish them as a memoir.
Giebel added that Ruf’s memoirs refute the ideas of conspiracy theorists and reject the claim that Hitler did not die, but fled somewhere.
New photos have emerged of the wreck of a German submarine that experts believe helped Hitler escape to Latin America in 1945.
