Heinz Lorenz
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Heinz Lorenz was German dictator Adolf Hitler' Chief Press Secretary during World War II.
In 1945, Lorenz became the deputy press attaché in the Fuhrerbunker. Towards the end of the war, after Germany's own communications system was all but lost, Lorenz became part of a group of Germans who fabricated news reports. The group fabricated German news reports by reviewing and re-writing Allied news reports.
Lorenz worked for General Hans Krebs. He worked with Bernd von Freytag-Loringhoven and Gerhardt Boldt. Lorenz monitored Reuters on the BBC. Hitler never learned of the deception.
On 28 April, Lorenz provided Hitler with confirmation that Heinrich Himmler was contacting the Allies through Count Folke Bernadotte.
