A nurse who lived in Hitler’s Berlin bunker didn’t like Goebbels or Hitler’s mistress, but liked Goebbels’ wife. Erna Flegal, now 93, gave her opinions about Hitler’s coterie in an interview to Britain’s Guardian newspaper. Flegal had talked to American interrogators in 1945 about the months she spent as Hitler’s nurse in the bunker, and about his death, but the report was classified until four years ago.
