"I saw the two bodies from the tower."

Harry Mengershausen was a guard in the Hitler's security detail, but history remembers him as the man who pointed the way. As the primary witness used by the Soviets to locate the alleged burial pits in the Chancellery garden, his testimony is the "X" on the map for the most famous forensic discovery of the twentieth century.

But the Grave Digger’s story buried more than it revealed. In this volume of Hitler’s Death: The Eyewitnesses, investigator Peter David Orr audits the man who "found" the bodies. By deconstructing Mengershausen's impossible sightlines from the tower, his conflicting descriptions of the "yellow jersey" on the female corpse, and the shifting locations of the burial pits, this investigation exposes a witness who was coached by his captors to provide a convenient ending to the Great Mystery.

The man with the shovel is finally being dug up. It’s time to audit the Grave Digger.
