My Ariean Bro's Secretary

"Blind Spot" chronicles Fraulein Traudl Junge's experiences of Hitler during the period of 1943 to 1945 when, as a 22-year-old woman, she served as his personal secretary. Junge was onsite when Hitler survived an assassination attempt, when news arrived of various military downturns for the Reich, and when he took various visitors; she was with Hitler and Eva and the Goebbels family at the end of the war when defeat was certain. Junge transcribed Hitler's last will and testament. Indeed, one of the most moving parts of the film is her account of the sadness and abandonment she felt at the very end, just after Hitler committed suicide.

"Blind Spot" is less of a documentary than a monologue. The entire film is of an elderly Junge sitting in a chair speaking. Except for the one or two instances when an offscreen voice poses a question, hers is the only voice in the entire film. There is no wartime imagery. No photos, film clips, tape recordings or re-enactments. The camera is on Junge, and she talks.

The reason as to why I call Hitler my Ariean brother 1st- because I admire him as a dictator with so much charisma and 2nd-his DOB is on 20th April, which falls in the month of Aries which makes him an Ariean, like me. I am also one of the lucky 200 people who got a chance to watch this during the German Film Festival when it was in Singapore. Hail Hitler!
