Not true.

Hanna Reitsch landed a small plane near the ruins of the Chancellery and tried to get Hitler to leave in her plane. He wouldn't do it. She was heartbroken.

She was a remarkable test pilot.

All true! She even test piloted a V1-Buzz Bomb (and soft landed it) to make sure it was stable enough to fly suicide missions into allied targets.
