Talk:Heinz Linge

Untitled
Was Linge a civilian or in the military, the article doe`snt say so
 * I read this book, and the answer is: he was in the SS. 93.219.175.21 (talk) 06:27, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
 * It states in the article he was an SS officer who held the rank of Obersturmbannführer (Lieutenant Colonel) by the end of the war. He would have been a member of the LSSAH. Kierzek (talk) 17:43, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Disputed claims about the fate of Hitler's remains
This article states that Hitler's body was found by the Soviets on May 2, citing Vinogradov as a source. The BBC in Britain have just released a series of archive interviews, one of which was with Linge broadcast in 1955 when he was released from captivity. I have summarized this information below, which you can use if you wish to amend the article.

[Summary start]

However, Linge was interviewed by John Ellison for the BBC programme In Town Tonight, broadcast on 29 October 1955, and he stated the Hitler’s body was never found by the Soviets, claiming that it still lay “in a common grave in a park in the Chancellery.” He supported this statement by saying that during his time in captivity, “the Russians questioned me repeatedly about it”, proof in his mind that the body was never found by them.

 * True, that the whole body was never found and recovered. Only a very, very small portion of Hitler's remains (jaw fragments/dental remains) were actually recovered in the end. I have tweaked the section. Kierzek (talk) 20:23, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

Place of Death
Place of death is Hamburg, not Bremen.
