Melbourne, Australia June 21, 1965 after recently having joined the Australian Army and been located at the Balcombe camp on the Mornington Peninsular, one decided to venture into the city at the first opportunity .. hitchhiking all the way to Flinders Street Station I hit town at about 9:00 am.
Straight down the main drag as far as the museum and doing a quick five minute in and out before heading back onto the main street and going right at the same corner, then along a couple of city blocks to turn hard right and proceed along the footpath at the next major intersection, a group who looked like Jews were filming from across the street..
A party ahead consisted of Adolf Hitler in a wheelchair done up to the nines in a silk suit and hat, with Eva Braun who took my photograph, and a tall athletically built male person identified in that day's edition of the Melbourne Age as a retainer whose combined duty was bodyguard and Eva's lover man ..
