Johannes Hentschel (10 May 1908 – 27 April 1982) was a master electro-mechanic for German dictator Adolf Hitler's apartments in the Reich Chancellery.
Hentschel was hired on 4 July 1934 as a master electro-mechanic for Adolf Hitler's personal apartments in the Reich Chancellery building.
[1] In the early morning hours of 2 May 1945, telephone operator Rochus Misch and Hentschel were two of the last people remaining in the bunker complex.
[3] Hentschel stayed in the bunker after everyone else had either committed suicide or left, as the field hospital for the wounded in the Reich Chancellery above needed power and water.
He surrendered to Soviet Red Army soldiers as they entered the bunker complex on 2 May and was released from captivity on 4 April 1949.
