7 He was sobbing quietlyto himself, the figure which had once been clad in a magnificentuniform was kitted out in a cast-off American battledress, Ameri-can socks, and a GI shirt several sizes too small for were the clothes he had been allowed to take when thrownout of American civilian internment camp No. , better known asDachau concentration was June , . The Americans had no further use for pris-oner number , he himself had been cleared of war crimescharges, and the doctors Trial at Nuremberg had ended withouthis giving evidence.

8 So they had driven him to this railroad station,stuffed his discharge papers into his pocket and left him for the RedCross to find. Two hours passed before a nurse, Eva Meier, spottedthe pathetic figure. She arranged for an ambulance to take him tothe auxiliary district hospital Alpenhof at the hospital his papers and possessions were listed. His pass-port showed him to be Professor Theo Morell, DOCTOR of medicine,sixty years old. He looked much older. A discharge report drawn upby Dachau camp hospital on the previous day stated that he hadserious cardiac trouble, that he was unable to work and was suffer-ing from aphasic speech disorders.

9 The papers also showed the reason for his internment: hitler s personal physician. morell never left that hospital. He died at . on May , , without revealing what he knew. His personal papers had beenlooted by the Americans. His widow had only his letters from in-ternment. How often I have thought back to that fiftieth birthday, he reflected in one letter, written on July , . How swiftly theyears have gone, and how sorry I am that I could not devote myselfmore to you. I ve often wished I was standing at that turning pointin our lives again.

10 Now, forty years later, his entire SECRET hitler dossier has comeinto this author s has been a long search. By , when I finished writing hitler sWa r, I had collected most of the other papers of Professor TheoMorell and all of the interrogation reports prepared on him at thewar s end. In September , while working in the National Archivesin Washington, I came across a cardboard box containing Morell streatment DIARIES and the dossier he had kept on hitler evidentlyfearing that if something befell his top patient he would need toprovide the Gestapo with detailed will want to know that these DIARIES are authentic.
