Reddit mentions of From Nazi Test Pilot to Hitler's Bunker

Different version than the one I saw. Never heard that before.

Details of the small plane, its runway, the sighting over Berlin by soviet soldiers, all were on a TV show I saw, cant remember it for the life of me, it was a long time ago.

If foggy memory serves me correctly it was his film director, that woman that made 'triumph of the will' that pressed Hitler to leave Berlin. They cleared a portion of the Berlin main drag outside the chancellory for it to land and take off.

Searching...

Edit: Found a book on Amazon, not his film director, someone else:

"This is the amazing story of Hanna Reitsch, one of the most celebrated women of the Third Reich. As a decorated test pilot for the Luftwaffe and a protege of Hitler, Reitsch was one of a handful of women who achieved personal success by breaking from the traditionally defined role of wife and mother in Nazi Germany. Reitsch's skills and accomplishments ultimately earned her an Iron Cross and celebrity status. A witness to the last days of the Third Reich, Reitsch visited Hitler's Berlin bunker where she received orders to deliver letters designed to rally the Luftwaffe. She left on this futile mission only minutes before Hitler's marriage to Eva Braun."
