Johannes Hentschel

Johannes Hentschel (10 May 1908 – 27 April 1982) was a German master electro-mechanic for German dictator Adolf Hitler's apartments in the Old Chancellery.

Born in Berlin, Hentschel was hired on 4 July 1934. During the last days of the Third Reich, he was responsible for the machine room in the Führerbunker and became one of the last to leave it, as the field hospital in the Chancellery above needed power. He was captured by the Red Army as they entered the bunker and was released four years later, on 4 April 1949. Hentschel died in 1982 in Achern, Germany.
