Episode: 9. Katastrophe
The author explained Hitler's unusual work routine, noting he slept in late, worked until the early hours, and rarely woke before midday, causing staff to refrain from waking him up.
Jonathan Trigg, author of D-Day Through German Eyes.
Hitler had a very, very strange working routine.
So he would sleep in late, and he would very rarely be up before kind of midday.
But he would work until the early hours.
So he was a night owl. He liked to be up at, you know, three, four, five in the morning.
And of course what that meant was that when he did finally go to bed, all his staff were told, well, don't, whatever you do, don't wake up the Fhrer.
Oh, you know, he's not a morning person.
