Hugh Lunghi
Hugh Lunghi was a British army officer and interpreter, known for being the first British soldier to enter Adolf Hitler's bunker in Berlin in July 1945. His experiences during this historic moment, including witnessing the aftermath of Hitler's suicide and interacting with prominent figures like Winston Churchill, contributed to his reputation as a key eyewitness to the end of the Nazi regime. Lunghi continued his career as an interpreter at significant diplomatic conferences until 1949, and he later recounted his chilling observations of the bunker, which he described as a 'damp and dirty' place filled with the remnants of history.
