Joseph Goebbels’ 105-year-old secretary: ‘No one believes me now, but I knew nothing’

 

Brunhilde Pomsel worked at the heart of the Nazis’ propaganda machine. As a film about her life is released, she discusses her lack of remorse and the private side of her monstrous boss

 

...

 

While she admits she was at the heart of the Nazi propaganda machine, with her tasks including massaging downwards statistics about fallen soldiers, as well as exaggerating the number of rapes of German women by the Red Army, she describes it, somewhat bizarrely, as “just another job”.

 

“But really, I didn’t do anything other than type in Goebbels’ office.”
