Recently while perusing an extensive site dedicated to the history of the Third Reich (www.thirdreich.net), I stumbled upon the New York Times obituary for Adolf Hitler. The last paragraph of the long obituary cryptically reads:
"LONDON, May 1 - When Doenitz declared on the radio that Hitler had died "a hero's death." a ghost voice immediately interrupted, shouting "This is a lie!"
[The British Broadcasting Corporation subsequently reported that Hitler had actually died of a stroke, rather than in battle against the Russians, the National Broadcasting Company said.]
Hitler, who was 56 years old on April 20, was lauded by Doenitz as "one of the greatest heroes in German history." Here the ghost voice broke in "The greatest of all fascists!" "
So, um, what was this ghost voice? Anyone?
