"Did I tell the truth? It did not matter."
Erich Kempka was the man who delivered the fuel for the most famous cremation in history. His 1951 memoir, I Burned Adolf Hitler, became a global sensation, providing the "logistical proof" that the Führer’s earthly remains had been reduced to ashes in the Chancellery garden.
But the Chauffeur’s math doesn't add up. Through a lawyerly audit of Kempka's various interrogations, investigator Peter David Orr exposes the physically impossible logistics of the "200 liters" of gasoline and a burial site that exists 200 meters away from where the bodies were allegedly found. In this volume of Hitler’s Death: The Eyewitnesses, we deconstruct a witness who eventually admitted he stopped telling the truth and started telling his captors exactly what they wanted to hear.
The man behind the wheel is now in the hot seat. It’s time to audit the Chauffeur.
