Gertraud "Traudl" Junge (née Humps; 16 March 1920 – 10 February 2002) was a German editor who worked as Adolf Hitler's last private secretary from December 1942 to April 1945.
After typing out Hitler's will, she remained in the Berlin Führerbunker until his death.
Following her arrest and imprisonment in June 1945, both the Soviet and the U.S.
militaries interrogated her.
Later, in post-war West Germany, she worked as a secretary.
In her old age she decided to publish her memoirs, claiming ignorance of the Nazi atrocities during the war, but blaming herself for missing opportunities to investigate reports about them.
Her story, based partly on her book, Until the Final Hour, formed a part of several dramatizations, in particular the 2004 German film Downfall about Hitler's final ten days.
