In the documentary production "Blind Spot" 81-year-old Traudl Junge describes on camera for the first time an absolutely extraordinary aspect of her life. From autumn 1942 to the final collapse of the Nazi regime Frau Junge was Hitler's private secretary. In this capacity she worked with him in the Wolf's Lair (his field headquarters in East Prussia), at his Bavarian residence at Berchtesgaden, on the Führer's special train and - in the final weeks of the war - in Hitler's bunker as Berlin came under siege. He dictated his final will and testament to her.
In spring 2001, due to the efforts of the writer Melissa Müller, Andre Heller met Traudl Junge and was able to persuade her that it would be fascinating as well as historically important to make a record of her unique experiences... and of her present attitudes to that time, after years of contemplation and self-analysis.
Together with documentary filmmaker Othmar Schmiderer, Heller has condensed 10 hours of material into a 90-minute film that renounces all form of stylistic embellishment and instead relies entirely on the compelling force of this woman and her stunning tale.
56 years after the end of the war one of the most important eye witnesses to the events reveals her story. We learn that her experiences left her with a vehement hatred for the Nazi regime and ideology, though — and this is perhaps the most painful aspect of her very personal story — she still seems unable to forgive the young girl she once was for the naivete and ignorance that led her to admire Hitler.
