I am looking for information about the postwar fate of the following people :
Brigadefuhrer Hans Rattenhuber (chief bodyguard of A. Hitler)
Rudolf Bamler, army general
and
Rudolf Semler, from Goebbels staff. This man is supposed to be missing since 1945. But people say they mey him in the mid 50 as a layer in Germany.
Rattenhuber, Bamler and Semler
