Hitler Aide Goebbels’ Diaries Found in Russia
The first complete copy of the diaries of Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s propaganda minister, has been found in Russian archives in Moscow, the Independent newspaper reported Friday.
In Moscow, Vladimir Kozlov, deputy chairman of the Russian Archive Committee, said, “Yes, Goebbels’ diaries have been found, but we haven’t authorized their publication to anybody.”
The discovery is considered historically significant because the propaganda chief was at Hitler’s side from the late 1920s until Hitler committed suicide in 1945.
The Independent said the diaries were found a few weeks ago.
