Description
Telegramme Marinenachrichtendienst en date du 23 avril 1945 a 15.30, note en rouge geheim et adresse a Muller a l’Obersalzberg. Demi-format. Prevenir Fuhrerbau, que seul Zander et moi sommes ici. Walkenhorst et Hermann sont aupres de l’etat-Major de la Marine. Nous restons avec le Chef a Berlin. Faites cesser les demandes inopportunes de Ott. Ici on se bat. Notre situation future depend de Friedrichs et de ses compagnons qui retournent leurs vestes devant nos adversaires. Bormann. Format 21x15cm. Coins colles au scotch sur une feuille de carton vert. Legeres salissures et petites pliures. Traduction originale manuscrite du capitaine Leroy en français jointe. Un grand nombre des personnes presentes dans le bunker ont ete congediees par Hitler. C’est la raison pour laquelle Bormann commence ce message en enumerant ceux qui restent. Nous restons avec le Chef a Berlin temoigne des discussions intenses qui ont eu lieu dans l’entourage direct d’Hitler apres l’annonce, la veille, de son suicide prochain. Les fideles se sont comptes et c’est a ce moment que Goebbels decida de faire venir sa famille dans le bunker. Bormann, lui aussi, decida de faire partie du dernier carre. Toute la nuit du 22 au 23 avril des avions firent quitter Berlin a un grand nombre de proches d’Hitler dont le docteur Morell, Julius Schaub, l’amiral von Puttkamer ou encore une partie des secretaires. Une fois de plus, le ici on se bat a une connotation dramatique du plus haut interet historique. Depuis le 21 avril, les troupes russes sont dans les faubourgs de Berlin et avancent inexorablement vers le centre-ville qu’ils atteindront quatre jours plus tard. Bormann clot son telegramme par une phrase lourde de sens et typique de l’atmosphere du Bunker. Notre situation future depend de Friedrichs et de ses compagnons, resume parfaitement l’attente pleine d’espoir du sauvetage annonce par Hitler de Berlin. Dans le meme temps, qui retournent leurs vestes devant nos adversaires laisse eclater toute la haine contagieuse d’Hitler fustigeant la trahison de l’armee et de ses generaux. La reference a Ott reste inexpliquee. En effet, s’agit-il d’Eugen Ott ? Ne en 1889 et mort en 1977, il a ete ambassadeur d’Allemagne au Japon durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Il est aussi connu pour avoir cotoye l’espion Richard Sorge. a moins qu’il ne s’agisse de Wilhelm Hottl, un officier SS autrichien ayant de tres importantes fonctions dans le contre-espionnage aupres de Kaltenbrunner. Des fevrier 1945, Hottl est en contact avec l’Office of Strategic Services OSS americain, negociant une eventuelle paix separee entre l’Autriche et les etats-Unis. En mars 1945, il rencontra Allen Dulles, le chef de l’OSS, en tant qu’intermediaire pour Kaltenbrunner lors de ces negociations. Mais celles-ci s’acheverent avec l’occupation de Vienne par l’URSS le 27 avril 1945. Il intoxiqua alors les Allies sur le pretendu reduit alpin. Ces documents ont ete recuperes par le capitaine Michel Leroy dans le bunker d’Hitler a Berlin ou il etait entre en fraude en novembre 1945. Ces archives se trouvaient sur la table du bureau personnel de Martin Bormann. L’histoire de leur decouverte a donne lieu a un documentaire sur la chaine RMC en 2019 intitule Fuhrerbunker, les dernieres archives et la publication d’un livre, traduit en trois langues Les dernieres archives du Bunker par Paul Villatoux et Xavier Aiolfi aux editions Memorabilia. Telegram Marinenachrichtendienst dated 23 April 1945 at 15.30, Geheim noted in red and addressed to Muller at Obersalzberg. Half-size. Inform Fuhrerbau that only Zander and myself are here. Walkenhorst and Hermann are at the Navy Headquarters. We are staying with the Chief in Berlin. Make the unwelcome requests from Ott. Stop. We are fighting here. Our future situation depends on Friedrichs and his companions who change sides. Bormann. Format 21 x 15 cm. Corners sellotaped on a sheet of green card. Slight stains and small creases. Original handwritten translation in French by Captain Leroy attached. A great number of people present in the bunker were dismissed by Hitler. This explains why Bormann began this message by listing those who remained. We are staying with the chief in Berlin is a demonstration of the intense discussions which took place within Hitler’s inner circle after the announcement of his suicide the day before. The faithful have been counted and it was at this time that Goebbels decided to bring his family into the bunker. Bormann also decided to be a part of the last four. Airplanes transported a large number of people close to Hitler from Berlin throughout the night of 22nd and 23rd April, including Doctor Morell, Julius Schaub, Admiral von Puttkamer and some of the secretaries.Once again, the We are fighting here, has a dramatic connotation of the highest historical significance. From the 21st April Russian troops were in the suburbs of Berlin and made their inevitable advance towards the city centre which they would reach four days later. Bormann ended his telegram by a phrase heavy with meaning typical of the atmosphere of the bunker. Our future situation depends on Friedrichs and his companions, summarises perfectly the hopeful expectation of rescue announced by Hitler from Berlin. At the same time, who change sides, brought out all the contagious hatred of Hitler who castigated the treason of the army and his generals. The reference to Ott remains unexplained. Does it refer to Eugen Ott? Born in 1889 and died in 1977, he was the German ambassador to Japan during the Second World War. He was also known for having spent time with the spy Richard Sorge. Unless it referred to Wilhelm Hottl, an Austrian SS officer with many essential functions in counterespionage for Kaltenbrunner. From February 1945 Hottl was in contact with the American Office of Strategic Services (OSS), negotiating a possible separate peace between Austria and the United States. In March 1945 he met Allen Dulles, the head of the OSS, in the capacity of intermediary for Kaltenbrunner during these negotiations, but these ended with the occupation of Vienna by the USSR on the 27th April 1945. He then intoxicated the Allies on the so-called Alpine Redoubt.These documents were salvaged by Captain Michel Leroy from Hitler’s bunker in Berlin, where he had secretly entered in November 1945. These archives were found on Martin Bormann’s personal desk. The story of their discovery was the subject of a documentary on the RMC channel in 2019 entitled Fuhrerbunker, the Final Archives and also the subject of a book The Final Archives of the Fuhrerbunker by Paul Villatoux and Xavier Aiolfi published by Memorabilia and which has been translated into three languages.
