Karl Wilhelm Krause (1911-2001) was Hitler’s valet from 1934-1939. An interview with Krause discussing his boss Hitler was once available on Youtube but has since been removed by the kike and shabbos commissars who moderate that Jew-owned platform.
Krause also wrote a fascinating book about his experiences working for Hitler in 1949, 10 Jahre Tag und Nacht Kammerdiener bei Hitler (10 Years Day and Night as Hitler’s Valet.) The book offers valuable insight into Adolf Hitler as a private man. Inexplicably, it never been translated into an English edition, though a new German edition (titled Im Schatten der Macht Kammerdiener bei Hitler) appeared a few years ago. There existed only a partial English translation of select excerpts from the book, the labour of an American researcher who ran the "Adolf Hitler Photos and Historical Info" blog hosted on putschgirl.tumblr.com, until that blog was wiped from the Internet by the usual culprits.
The good news is, when (((they))) delete and censor the work of legitimate researchers from mainstream social media sites, curious goyim will discover and obtain their Hitler facts from this forum, nationalvanguard.org, stormfront.org, foum.codoh.info and nseuropa.org instead
This is putschgirl's translation of Krause’s chapter on Hitler’s life in Berlin (taken from Zehn Jahre Kammerdiener bei Hitler, pages 12-21, Karl Wilhelm Krause, 1949). Hitler usually spent 9 days a month in Berlin and much preferred being in either Munich or the Obersalzberg.
Before Hitler would go to be at night, he would always tell me what time I should awaken him. His words would be, “wake me up at 8:30,” for instance. I would always put messages and telegrams that came in during the evening on a stool right outside his bedroom. Hitler would always say to me at night before retiring, “Good night!” Oftentimes he would also shake my hand. My answer would always be, “Good night! Have a pleasant sleep.”
Hitler always locked himself into his room at night. In Berlin, his quarters were on the first floor of the old Reich Chancellery and consisted of a work room, a library, his own bathroom and his bedroom.
When I had to awaken Hitler in Berlin, I would go up to the door of his bedroom, knock quietly and then await his answer. I would say something like, “Good morning, mein Führer! It is 8:30 a.m.!” (or 9:00, whatever the time was). Hitler would answer one of three ways: “thanks!” or “thank you” or “thank you very much.” His greeting depended on his mood.
Then I prepared his breakfast, which never changed. Hitler’s breakfast always consisted of two cups of warm milk, 10 pieces of Leibniz cookies and a chocolate bar. I would heat his milk up myself with a little apparatus in the kitchen.

Hitler’s morning routine really never varied. It always took him 22 to 23 minutes each morning to get himself ready. During that time, he took a bath, shaved himself and dressed himself. Hitler always took that exact amount of time each morning while in Berlin. He would emerge from his private rooms as he was putting on his jacket.
Hitler always shaved himself. In the years I was with him from 1934-1939, nobody else ever shaved him. He was very particular about shaving. He always used two blades, one for each cheek. He also used two different razors, one for the “pre-shave” and one for the “after shave,” as he explained to me.
His soap was Steckenpferd-Lilienmilch, his shaving cream was Peri, his skin cream was Pfeilring, his cologne 4711 and his shampoo was Dr. Dralles Birkenwasser. He used Odol mouthwash and also used pine needle tablets in his bath. His Deodorant was Mum which we procured from the British embassy in Berlin.

After breakfast, which he ate alone and while standing up, Hitler would come out of his private rooms and greet me. It usually happened that he greeted me first. My greeting was always, “Good morning, mein Führer!” If I wasn’t in a good mood, I might only say “Morning!” His response to me was “good morning!” or sometimes just “Heil!”
When Hitler was eating breakfast, he read the morning newspapers and any telegrams or letters which I left on the stool outside his bedroom. He would also peruse the lunch menu, which I always laid out for him. He would get nervous if foreigners or ladies were present. He would be very particular about the table appointments, salad dressing and things like that.
After that, Hitler went downstairs to begin his official day. I opened up all the doors for him, that was part of my job. Then the two chambermaids would come and clean his bedroom. I also entered his rooms and changed the razor blades in his razors.
At lunch, Hitler usually had the same old faces there. Speer, Goebbels and Werlin [a director of Mercedes Benz] were often there. Hitler would greet them all with a handshake and always say, “How are you? What’s new?” Sometimes foreign guests would be invited, but not often. Most of them were always extremely fascinated with Hitler’s arresting blue eyes. Many people thought Hitler had a very interesting stare. It was much commented upon.

For instance, in 1934, British politician Anthony Eden came to Berlin to meet Hitler. After 20 minutes, he suddenly got up from the table and went into an anteroom. He told me through an interpreter, “I had to get up and out of there. If I spent 20 more minutes with Hitler, I could convert to being a Nazi!”
Women were especially enthusiastic about Hitler and made their interests known. But men were definitely not immune from his charm either. The race car driver Carraciola said to me once that he’d rather drive 300 km an hour than be alone with Hitler. His charm was too intense. When Hitler heard this, he was much amused.

The person in Berlin who Hitler seemed to enjoy the most was probably Dr. Goebbels. At least in the early days. One day Goebbels came to lunch and jokingly told him he had heard from the American ambassador that Roosevelt wanted to meet him. Hitler said, “Well, Herr Doktor, you will have to decide whether to go or not.” Goebbels immediately said, “no, no, I will remain here.”
Hitler and Goebbels joked around a lot together. Hitler loved telling one particular story. It happened in 1931 and Hitler was scheduled to give a speech in Berlin. The entrance price to the hall was 60 Pfennigs. At the last moment, Hitler had to cancel the speech and Goebbels was forced to take his place as the main speaker. The entrance fee was then lowered to 30 Pfennigs. Hitler would sometimes shush Goebbels at the table and say, “you have to be quiet, my little Doktor (Doktorchen), you’re only worth half of me!”
Göring showed up sometimes and Hitler made fun of his fancy uniforms and medals. But Göring could make Hitler laugh and was allowed to tell some political jokes which Hitler liked. Early on he was also close to Julius Streicher, but they later had a falling out. I heard him say once to him, “You and your damned Stürmer can get to packing!”

In the early years in Berlin, Hitler would usually go and drink coffee and eat cakes at the Hotel Kaiserhof. We always had a corner table reserved. The bodyguards would walk over there, but Hitler would go with me and a few adjutants by car. Goebbels and Goering took part in this routine, though they were seldom together. Hitler and Goebbels liked to discuss movies, primarily.
Hitler very rarely wore a uniform during these coffee hours, and just wore a suit. The coffee interlude generally lasted from 5:00-7:00, then we went back to the Reich Chancellery and prepared for dinner. Oftentimes film stars, opera singers and pretty women were invited for dinner.
Afterwards one or two films were shown. Hitler selected the titles himself from the Propaganda Ministry. They were usually American films. Sometimes Hitler disliked the movie and it had to be stopped. “Get rid of it! What nonsense!! Next!” (”Abbrechen! So ‘n Quatsch! Den nachsten!“)
Adolf Hitler saw every single film made in Germany or America from 1933 until the outbreak of the war. He watched 1-2 films every single evening unless we were travelling or an emergency arose.
After the war began in 1939, Hitler refused to watch films anymore. He said he couldn’t allow himself that luxury when his soldiers were deprived of it. He did, however, watch the Newsreels. From the winter of 1942 onwards, he stopped watching those as well.
After the films were over, Hitler retreated back to his private rooms. He would invite some of his guests with him and they’d sit in a corner of his study, drinking tea and the others might have some alcohol. Nobody was allowed to smoke in Hitler’s presence and all guests knew this. The conversation was very relaxed. They talked about everything except politics.

Hitler also liked to discuss women’s fashion. He was fascinated by women’s clothing and the manner in which women wore their clothes. During these chats, I observed that Hitler was really a very charming and accomplished conversationalist. This was oftentimes told to me by German guests as well as foreigners.
I usually stood 2 or 3 meters behind Hitler and could hear and see everything that was going on. Hitler effortlessly charmed everyone with his shy wit and manner. Really nobody else could compete with him, not even Goebbels.
These get togethers usually lasted until 2:00 or 3:00 am. Then Hitler would wish me good evening and go upstairs to his private rooms. He would then read in bed, either books or newspapers.
