That’s why I’m actually kind of amazed she is still alive today. At the time Berlin surrendered to the Red Army, her close association with Goebbels could have been enough to get her tried, convicted and possibly executed as a Nazi war criminal.

-—They really weren’t interested in Personal Secretaries. One of Hitler’s private secretaries Traudl Junge wrote/spoke a lot of her times with Hitler. Most of these women weren’t in these jobs as a political statement many had no choice or they just needed the money.

War Crimes tribunal wasn’t interested in Secretaries becoming martyrs by being prosecuted simply for typing memos lol

At the time Berlin surrendered, the Red Army wasn't about to be doin' no trials.

Hitler's private secretary, Traudl Junge, died in 2002 (age almost 82).

Wikipedia lists some other Hitler secretaries and a nurse who lived normal life spans.

Only a handful of Nazi war criminals were executed. Most served fairly minimal prison terms.
