The transcript is as follows; ”Dear Mr. McClure!, In answer to your letter I'm enclosing the signed letter and fotos. Mrs. Borhold, Marta as former chamber maid of Hitler had the things in her possession and therefore has signed the last letter to you. Unfortunately I can not help you with the other questions you asked. Yours very sincerely, (signed) Linge”. In September 1939, Linge became chief valet for Hitler. Linge worked as a valet in the Reich Chancellery in Berlin, at Hitler's residence near Berchtesgaden, and at Wolfsschanze in Rasterburg. By 1944, he was also head of Hitler's personal service staff. Besides accompanying Hitler on all his travels, he was responsible for the accommodations; all the servants, mess orderlies, cooks, caterers and maids were ”subordinate” to Linge. He moved with Hitler to the Reichschancellory and Fuhrerbunker in 1945 and was with Hitler up until the time he committed suicide. He received Hitler's final instructions regarding what actions to take after the suicides and was the first person to go into Hitler's study after the suicide. Linge was captured by the Russians and spent 10 years in Soviet captivity. In-house shipping is available.
