Traudl Junge

Gertraud "Traudl" Junge (née Humps; 16 March 1920 – 10 February 2002) was a German editor who worked as Adolf Hitler's last private secretary from December 1942 to April 1945. After typing Hitler's will, she remained in the Berlin Führerbunker until his death. Following her arrest and imprisonment in June 1945, both the Soviet and the U.S. militaries interrogated her. Later, in post-war West Germany, she worked as a secretary. In her old age, she decided to publish her memoirs, claiming ignorance of the Nazi atrocities during the war, but blaming herself for missing opportunities to investigate reports about them. Her story, based partly on her book Until the Final Hour, formed a part of several dramatizations, in particular the 2004 German film Downfall about Hitler's final ten days.

5. Janet Kennedy, the main author of the report, thinks this is because the tricks draw on elements of real roads, such as country lanes, where many motorists naturally drive more slowly. ‘Residents usually welcome speed–reducing measures such as road humps, but drivers forced to reduce speeds by artificial means tend to resent it,‘ she said. ‘Drivers tend not to resent having to slow down on a winding country lane or at a hump–back bridge.‘ The report says it is vital that the psychological measures do not actually increase risk, for example from vehicles hitting trees, and they work best when used with physical traffic calming.
