      Sometimes I pray to God that he will let Magda and Joseph Goebbels burn in hell for eternity.

      On the evening of 1 May, Magda and Joseph Goebbels arranged for an SS dentist, Helmut Kunz, to inject their six children with morphine so that when they were unconscious, an ampule of a cyanide compound could be then crushed in each of their mouths. According to Kunz’s later testimony, he gave the children morphine injections but Magda and SS-Obersturmbannführer Ludwig Stumpfegger, Hitler’s personal doctor, administered the cyanide.
      Rochus Misch, the bunker telephone/radio operator, stated that Werner Naumann told him that he had seen Hitler’s personal physician, Dr Stumpfegger, give the children something “sweetened” to drink. Naumann also stated that the children were told they would be leaving for Berchtesgaden in the morning, and Stumpfegger provided Magda with the “soporific drug” to sedate them. Nurse Erna Flegel claims that Magda reassured the children about the morphine by telling them that they needed inoculations because they would be staying in the bunker for a long time. Author James P. O’Donnell concluded that, although Stumpfegger was probably involved in drugging the children, Magda killed them herself.

      The children seemed unaware of the impending danger, but the eldest child, Helga, seemed to sense what was about to occur. Misch was among the last to see the children alive. They were seated around a table in his work area as their mother combed their hair and kissed them, all wearing nightgowns as it was close to their bedtime. Heide, the youngest, had scrambled up onto the table. Helga, whom Misch called the brightest of the children, was “sobbing softly”. Misch felt Helga had little fondness for her mother. Magda had to push Helga towards the stairs that led up to the Vorbunker. Four-year-old Heide, who had tonsilitis and wore a scarf around her neck, turned back to look at Misch, giggling, and teasingly said, “Misch, Misch, du bist ein Fisch” (“Misch, Misch, you are a fish”), just before her mother led her and her siblings upstairs. Misch recalled later that he suspected what was about to happen and would always regret not intervening.
