German Shepherd dog Blondi was a gift from Martin Bormann for Hitler, stayed with him even after his move into the Fuhrerbunker located underneath the garden of the Reich Chancellery on January 16, 1945.
She played a role in Nazi propaganda by portraying Hitler as an animal lover, and died on April 29, 1945. The following are some of vintage photos capturing Hitler with Blondi in the early 1940s.
