"I was the first to enter..."
For ten years in Soviet captivity and decades more in the West, Heinz Linge was the primary architect of the Hitler suicide narrative. As the personal valet who claimed to find the bodies, his testimony is the "Source Code" for everything we think we know about the final moments in the bunker.
But Linge’s story is a forensic minefield. From his impossible "acoustic memory" of a gunshot he shouldn't have heard to his suspiciously shifting descriptions of the suicide scene, investigator Peter David Orr puts the Valet in the witness box. This audit exposes the "script" Linge negotiated with his captors and reveals why his "eyewitness" account is the foundation of a 80-year-old fraud.
