Johannes Hentschel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Johannes Hentschel (born 10 May 1908 in Berlin) was a German master electro-mechanic for Adolf Hitler's apartments in the Old Chancellery.
Hentschel was hired on 4 July 1934. During the last days of the Third Reich he was responsible for the machine room in the Führerbunker and became one of the last to leave it, as the field hospital in the Chancellery above needed power. He was captured by the Red Army as they entered the bunker and was released four years later, on 4 April 1949. He is one of the few surivors from the bunker still alive today.
