Memoirs of a Woman Who Worked in Nazi Germany's Most Dangerous Profession
Adolf Hitler suspected that the British would poison him and kill him at any moment. Therefore, he had ordered that every meal prepared for him should be tasted by someone else before he ate it. For that, he hired 15 women to taste the food at the Wolf Lair mansion where he lived. Their service was more of a life-and-death mortal duty than a vocation. Hitler's diet had to be confirmed that it had not been poisoned by these women before him.
Of those women, the only one alive until recently was 98-year-old Margo Volk. She died in 2014. She was 25 when she joined the job in 1942. R.B.B. in Berlin in 2012 on her 95th birthday. In an interview with the television channel, she disclosed about the mental distress she experienced during that duty. "The other girls I was with started crying in fear as soon as they started eating. We must eat all the food provided. After that, you should stay in one place for an hour. We spend those hours cowering in fear. We have the fear of getting sick or dying at any moment. I cried for joy when I realized that we were still doing well. Every day was spent like this.
Margo was forced into the job. In 1941 her house in Berlin was destroyed by bombs and her husband Karl was drafted into the army. Unable to stay in Berlin any longer, Margo moved to her mother's house. It was located near Adolf Hitler's Wolf Lair. The local mayor recruited her as Hitler's food taster. Each day, Hitler's bodyguard came and escorted her to the tasting room, and after the tasting, she was taken back to her home. She was also raped several times by one of Hitler's bodyguards.
Claiming that she never saw Hitler during her service, she also revealed an attempt to assassinate Hitler by a group of German military officers on July 20, 1944. "Even then, as usual, 15 of us were sitting on the wooden benches of the Wolf's Lair building and talking. Suddenly a loud explosion was heard. We fell off the benches to the shock of it. 'Hitler is dead. Suddenly someone was heard shouting 'Hitler is dead'. But he did not die that day. Nearly 5,000 Germans suspected of being involved in the assassination attempt were killed.
Even after this incident, she continued her career. In 1944, S.S. With the help of an army officer, she managed to escape the place and return to Berlin, but she failed to escape the horrors of World War II. In 1945, Berlin was occupied by Russian forces, which brought another dark phase to her and many German girls' lives. The German girls had no escape from the Russian soldiers. "We disguised ourselves as old women to escape from them. But could not escape from them. One day they caught us and dragged us to a nearby doctor's house. They kept us imprisoned there for 14 days and raped us.
As a result of constant rape, she was never able to bear children. I wanted a daughter. But it could not be accomplished.
Although she was able to find her husband again in 1946 with the help of a British army officer, their married life was not as good as before. Karl, who had been in prison for several years, had become a very emaciated and sickly person, and Margoda was under severe mental stress. As a result, they separated in a short time.
