Hitler’s Food Taster

Posted: 4/9/2013 Updated: 9/20/2014

Interview Of Probably Last Surviving Food Taster

The German weekly magazine Der Spiegel published on 3/28/13 an interview (article is in German) with a 95 year old lady who is said to have been Hitler’s food taster at his headquarters “Wolfschanze” for about 2.5 years.

Meanwhile the Times of India also has a story about Margot Woelk here. She lived a nightmarish life ever since.

Summary & Comment

She was one of 15 young women who were coerced to be a food taster for Hitler. She never saw Hitler, which would imply he never thanked her.

Apparently, the dictator either did not trust volunteers or there were not enough devoted followers to volunteer for this job.
