People still living who knew Hitler
As we approach the 70th anniversary of Hitler's death: I was asked yesterday if there is anyone still alive who knew him personally. The only one I know of is Verena Wagner, now 94, who knew him from childhood when he visited Bayreuth. I would think she is certainly the only person still living who knew him before he became Chancellor. Does anyone know of any others? I suppose Gudrun Himmler and Edda Goering met him as children, but that's not quite the same thing as knowing him personally as an adult.

King Michael of Romania is still alive, though whether, as wartime head of state, he ever met Hitler personally I am unsure. Marshal Antonescu tended to do that.
Amazingly, Michael first became King of Romania under a regency on 20 July 1927 - 88 years ago!

He probably met Hitler, but I doubt they were friends. Hitler's views on monarchy were well known.

Oberscharfuehrer Rochus Misch died a year and a half back.

I said "people who knew Hitler personally", not "junior servicemen who briefly worked in proximity to him."

Well, Mr. Carr.
You presumably know the answer already.

No I don't, that's why I'm asking. Verena Wagner is the only one I know of. I'm asking if anyone knows of any others.

She was a child. I'm asking about adults.
