I was Hitlers Bodyguard and Telephone operator - Rochus Misch: A timewitness tells his story
ROCHUS MISCH (*July 29 1917, † September 5 2013)
In this interview, Rochus Misch talks about his last days as a telephone operator in the Führer's bunker and about Hitler's and Eva Braun's suicide.
This interview was made in the mid-1990s and is one of the first that Rochus Misch gave. As a direct contemporary witness, he remembers the last days in the Führer bunker in Berlin and the fall of the Third Reich.
On September 24, 1939, Misch was seriously wounded in the arm and by a bullet through the lung during the Polish campaign in the battles for Modlin Fortress.
After his convalescence and on the recommendation of his company commander Wilhelm Mohnke (Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler), Hitler's chief adjutant at the time assigned Misch to the Führerbegleitkommando.
From 1940 to 1945, he was mainly active in Berlin (New Reich Chancellery), as well as in Berchtesgaden am Obersalzberg and in the Führer's headquarters.
After Hitler's cremation, Misch was one of the last to leave the Fuehrer Bunker in the early morning of May 1, 1945, after Goebbels had relieved him of his function as a telephone operator.

Why not do a video on the Nazi invasion of the U.S. starting in New Orleans in 1935 with the massacre of the Creoles of New Orleans and almost everyone else before spreading over the entire country? My father was there in 1935. This is still hidden. I went to a school in the U.S. that was mostly for German kids. Almost all my info is from Germans themselves. See my page. See the videos of eyewitness accounts. See on my page under discussion(only on laptop or desktop; won't show on phones) the Dropbox link, "1935 and beyond" for even more details.

I was stationed in Nuremberg 86-89'. On one of my many occasions of exploring the Berghof area, etc and before they removed the remaining debris of the garage at the Berghof, I had an encounter with MISCH which at time I did not know who he was. I knew he had to have served in WW2. He was with another elderly man talking about the site. I greeted him with the "typical" German hello and we "chatted" with my broken German for about 5 minutes and never gave it another thought. It was many years later that I recognized who I was chatting with. Like the old saying goes, if you only knew..

Never mind what Mike Oz says. He probably visited the Wizard of Oz and got some Panama red. He was right about one thing, Misch was no innocent old Sesselfurzer. He kept his mouth shut about Hitler’s escape from Berlin and went along with the suicide story concocted in the bunker to confuse the Allies. Hitler died in South America.

This is amazing! he was front row and center of WW2 history! and lived to tell about it! great interview!
Wow. I wonder if this man realized his being in a major historic event as it was happening. This is about as good as it gets for a first hand account.
" Misch lived in Berlin in the same house he moved into when he was released by the Soviets.[4] The house is in the district of Rudow in south Berlin.[49] Misch regularly received visitors who wished to speak to or interview him.[20][62] Misch died in Berlin on 5 September 2013 aged 96.[63] " -- Wiki

Misch...people, horrendous circumstances
Very informative
Amazing... truly amazing hearing it first hand
I’ve watched this many times. It’s interesting and great to have first hand accounts of actual history. People that were actually there, not some writer’s interpretation. Imagine if we could hear Caesar, Franklin, Washington, Napoleon.
Incredible and amazing first hand witness account!
This was amazing
Absolutely incredible 👍
Fascinating account!
This is so interesting & fascinating to hear info from this man who has rubbed shoulders with key people, nazi officials... Great to hear his take of things that actually happened & detailed as well... R 🇦🇺
Fascinating to hear about the telephone connection and talks with the Russians.
I'm glad he made a bit of money in the last years of his life . His part in history is very important. Thank you .

Are you serious? He is a Nazi, what is not clear to you? Be ashamed of all the victims who died because of people like him.
Amazing account. I believe every word he uttered.
wonderful wonderful document
It's unfortunate that the actor who played the role of Misch in Downfall 2004 movie died soon at the age of 40, and that before the death of the actual one. He was also the one from Führerbunker who exposed who Hitler really was.
The only bit of what Rochus says that doesn't seem to agree with other people's recollections is when he says that he saw Hitler had shot himself while sitting in his chair. Minor detail I know.
How is it that he never mentions hearing any of the gunshots from inside the bunker , but everything outside of it ? At least three times , one he said was done very close to him , yet he was surprised when he found them dead.

Didn't hear gunshots? Why not? 🙄

He mentioned that the acoustics were so that you could never really determine the distinction between gunshots, artillery, grenades, etc. He probably heard them and carried on as normal in the moment
Incredible information
What an amazing experience this man had I'm really glad that his testimonies where able to be taken down in this day and agellp

Dont get taken in by this kindly old man. He knew of the deportations & mass murders! Misch was known as a violent thug in his younger days during the 1930s. Many Jews & Communists felt his iron fist & steel capped boots in their faces.
It must have been eerie after Goebbels death, only Misch and Henchel were left.
The translation was rather good!

...except when Misch referenced Hitler as 'Chef' and this was errantly translated to English as "The Chef".
