Heinz Lorenz (7 August 1913 – 23 November 1985) was German dictator Adolf Hitler's Deputy Chief Press Secretary during World War II. ==Biography== A native of Schwerin, he studied law and economics at the universary. He left school and in 1934 became a junior editor with the ''Deutsches Nachrichtenbüro'' DNB (German News Service). In 1936, he transferred to the Press Office and worked under Otto Dietrich, Press Chief of the NSDAP. He became a reserve officer and served as ''Hauptschriftführer'' of the DNB from late 1942 onwards. In 1945, Lorenz became the deputy press attaché in the ''Führerbunker''. Towards the end of the war, after Germany's own communications system was all but lost, Lorenz monitored Reuters on the BBC. Lorenz became part of a group who fabricated news reports by reviewing and re-writing Allied news reports. Lorenz worked for General Hans Krebs, Bernd von Freytag-Loringhoven and Gerhardt Boldt. Hitler never learned of the deception. On 28 April 1945, Lorenz provided Hitler with confirmation that Heinrich Himmler had contacted and attempted peace negotiations with the western Allies through Count Folke Bernadotte. During the night of 28–29 April, Hitler ordered that three copies of his political testament be hand-delivered to Field Marshal Ferdinand Schörner in Czechoslovakia, Karl Dönitz in Schleswig-Holstein, and Paul Giesler in Tegernsee by Lorenz, Willy Johannmeyer, and Martin Bormann's adjutant SS-''Standartenführer'' Wilhelm Zander, respectively. The three officers said their farewell to Hitler and were handed a white dossier with the testament by Martin Bormann at approximately 4.00 am on 29 April. Armed with automatic weapons and wearing helmets to break through Soviet lines, the officers left Berlin later that day. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Heinz Lorenz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
