London, Dec 4 Adolf Hitler's former maid has opened up about the Nazi dicator, describing him 'charming' and 'a great boss'. According to the Daily Mail, Rosa Mitterer, 91, who worked as a maid for Hitler at his mountain retreat in Bavaria in the 1930s, has kept quiet about her experiences of life with Hitler until now.

However, Mitterer finally decided that it was time to speak out.

"He was a charming man, someone who was only ever nice to me, a great boss to work for. You can say what you like, but he was a good man to us," the Telegraph quoted her, as saying.

Mitterer started working for Hitler at the age of 15 in 1932. Her sister Anni had worked as a cook at Hitler's Berchtesgaden retreat since the late 1920s.

"She said he needed a housemaid and I would fit the bill. I remember so clearly the first day I spoke to him in the kitchen. I said I was Anni's sister and that made him smile, because Anni was his favourite. I only ever knew Hitler as a kindly man who was good to me," she said. (ANI)
