Скачать или смотреть HITLER'S FOOD TASTERS - 15 Women Lived in Terror

Discover the terrifying true story of Margot Wölk and fourteen other young German women who were conscripted in 1942 to serve as Adolf Hitler's food tasters at Wolf's Lair headquarters in East Prussia, forced to eat every meal thirty minutes before the Führer to detect potential poison in a daily routine of psychological torture that lasted nearly three years. This meticulously researched account reveals how Hitler's extreme paranoia about assassination by poisoning led to an elaborate security system where fifteen women sat three times daily at a guarded table, forbidden to speak, eating excellent vegetarian meals of fresh vegetables, fruits, and pasta while SS guards watched in silence, then waiting exactly thirty minutes to see if they would experience the cramping, convulsions, or death that would indicate contamination. From Margot's 2013 testimony at age 95—after seventy years of silence due to shame and trauma—describing how "the food was delicious, the best vegetables, the freshest fruit, and we were so frightened, every meal I was frightened," to the fate of her fellow tasters who were killed during the Soviet invasion of East Prussia in January 1945 when most were shot or assaulted during their desperate flight westward, this account illuminates Hitler's willingness to use ordinary conscripted women as human biological detectors, the bitter irony of eating Germany's best food while fearing each bite would be fatal, and the reality that in three years of daily tasting, no poison was ever detected—yet the terror remained constant because the tasters never knew with certainty until after each thirty-minute waiting period whether they would survive another meal.
