In Town Tonight
29/10/1955
First transmitted in 1955, this is all that remains of this edition of the programme. It includes an interview with former SS officer Heinz Linge who was Hitler's personal attendant who had just been released after ten years as a prisoner in Russian hands. Linge claims that he was the last person to see Hitler alive. John Ellison also talks to Francis Pinto, spokesman of a steel band, The Caribinas, about their recent tour of North America.

Calm interiew just ten years after the war, there would be hysteria today.

The host/interviewer is John Ellison and the announcer at the beginning is Colin Doran, BBC radio newsreader and continuity announcer.

Interesting... I can remember, as a very young boy, asking my mother if they really did stop the traffic.

Good god . . . taped two years before I was born. Heinz Linge . . . it seems the Soviets rung his wits out of him, poor guy . . . four years in the Lubyanka, what do you want, I suppose.

You make a good point. He does seem drained, as if his soul had been vacuumed from his body.

The fact that he took the time to visit the Cliffs of Dover to stand where his master would have wanted to have stood as conqueror is fascinating.

Boring interviewer. He could have delved much deeper with his questioning. Asking for examples would have helped instead of reading his list of questions.

its makes sense now why Stalin didn’t announce hitler death , cos the Russian didn’t find the hitler’s body

Crazy to think... that Hitler is still in Berlin in a common grave all along. People today still believe the Russians had his body.

Stalin believed he survived and escaped to South America.

Hans kind of looks like hes answers are forced

I think it's partly a matter of listening and speaking in English. If he were speaking German, his answers would be much more fluid.

I read his book and it was pretty good. I have no reason to believe that he fabricated one shred of the story. He did state several times that Hitler could be very charming (especially with women) when he wanted to be and I can see that being the truth as well (based on what Ian Kershaw wrote in his excellent biography of Hitler). I do believe that Hitler had not only one but two doubles and there is at least one photograph of a double lying dead in the streets of Berlin with Soviet soldiers examining the body.
