Memoirs

Watching to see anything about his memoirs being published - several media sources stated that his memoirs were to be published after his death, per his instructions, it's been over a year and don't see anything about them since then. Also, there were repots that historians think he will shed light on Hitler's responsibility for the Holocaust, but considering his statements just before his death, he idolized Hitler until the end and I doubt he would reveal anything disparaging to Hitler. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.189.169.138 (talk) 15:32, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

End of WW2?

Here is an Interview with him https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmBrHJxL7Nw — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:8109:B00:4776:2953:ECDD:D062:9567 (talk) 08:09, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

From the Bild interview

And I quote him verbatim

^[1]

„Es war in der Wolfsschanze. Der 19. Juli 1944, einen Tag vor dem Attentat. Wir hatten eine Lagebesprechung. Es war warm. Die Fenster offen. Mehrere dicke Brummer flogen durch den Raum. Ich sollte sie verscheuchen, aber hab das nicht mitbekommen. Da hat mich Hitler weggeschickt. Er sagte: ,Darges, melden Sie sich bei Ihrem Regiment!‘“

He simply did not hear the order, so whatever funny anecdote was developed off of that, is likely just that.
