From Der Spiegel:
The strangest thing was the sight of the two guitar players at the "Kaiserhof" subway station in Berlin. "I come out of this bunker of death, all that drama, and someone's playing music," recalls Rochus Misch. "They played Hawaiian music!" It was May 2, 1945, at six o'clock in the morning.
Near Hitler's bunker, French SS troops and German army units were prolonging the end of World War Two. Misch was desperate to get out of this hell. Alive.
An hour earlier, Misch, 27 years old at the time, had ended his duties in Hitler's bunker beneath the Chancellery. He asked Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's Propaganda Minister and newly-appointed Reich Chancellor, if there was anything left to do. "Herr Reich Chancellor, I'd like to leave with the rest of the comrades," he says.
At that point the Red Army was 200 meters, or 656 feet, away from what had been Misch's place of work for the last six years. Misch was Adolf Hitler's bodyguard and telephone operator - one of the last people to leave the bunker. He survived them all. He is the last witness.
Rochus Misch ist a great man, a good man, a patriotic man !

Rochus Misch - Heil !
Greetings from Berlin

Would anyone happen to have an address in Berlin for Rochus Misch? I understand that he is not averse to being asked for a signed photo, and I would want to do so respectfully. Would anyone know the best address to reach him? Regards.
