Telegram Marinenachrichtendienst dated 23 April 1945 at 15.00, Geheim noted in red and addressed to Puttkamer at Obersalzberg. Send telegraph urgently if KEIX aircraft has arrived. Bormann. Format 21 x 15 cm. Corners sellotaped on a sheet of green card. Slightly stained and with small creases. Original handwritten translation in French by Captain Leroy attached. Bormann was anxious to know if members of Hitler’s inner circle, who had been authorised to leave the Bunker the previous night, had arrived at Berchtesgarden. This included, among others, Puttkamer (adjutant for Hitler’s Navy) himself but also Hitler’s two secretaries, Doctor Morell, Hitler’s personal doctor, members of the different services and General SS Gottlob Berger, chief of the SS main office. 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.
