Top Nazi secretary Brunhilde Pomsel who worked for evil Joseph Goebbels dies aged 106 just months after revealing she had ‘no idea’ about the Holocaust
Brunhilde Pomsel worked for the twisted propaganda chief up until he committed suicide with Hitler in 1945
THE SECRETARY of evil Nazi Joseph Goebbels has died at the age of 106.
Brunhilde Pomsel was one of the last surviving top-level staff from the fascist party.
She worked in close contact with Goebbels, the propaganda chief responsible for spreading the Nazi's twisted doctrine.
In a recent documentary she claimed she had no idea about the killing of six million Jews in the holocaust.
Ms Pomel was born in 1911 and got her first job as a typist at a Jewish insurance broker.
She then took up a similar role with a right-wing writer before joining the Nazis when they swept to power in 1933.
Denying suggestions she was trying to clear her conscience before her death, she said she did nothing more than "type in Goebbels office" during the Nazi regime's murderous campaign.
Goebbels, one of Hitler's longest-serving lieutenants, is considered one of history's worst war criminals and a prominent supporter of the extermination of Jews.
She told the paper: "I know no one ever believes us nowadays - everyone thinks we knew everything. We knew nothing, it was all kept well secret."
She added that Nazi excuses that Jews were being taken to "repopulate" other parts of Europe seemed "entirely plausible".
After her bosses' suicide and the collapse of the Nazi empire, she was jailed for five years in Russian prisons.
It was only after she was released did she discover that wholesale killing of Jews had occurred, she claimed.
Goebbels preached the extermination of Europe’s Jews - commissioning films which portrayed them in a bad light - and inventing slogans which justified the Holocaust.
Ms Pomsel died in Munich weeks after turning 106.
