Last Hitler Loyal Aide Dies at 96

Hitler's last SS adjutant has died in Germany, still loyal to the man he served throughout the Second World War.

Panzer veteran Fritz Darges, 96, was finally sacked by the Feuhrer in a bizarre incident over a fly.

But he would never hear a word spoken against the instigator of the Holocaust whom he regarded as “warm-hearted” and “the greatest man who ever lived.”

Darges told a German newspaper shortly before his death on Sunday that during a strategy conference in July 1944, a fly buzzed around the room and landed on Hitler’s shoulder and on a map several times.
