Very pleased to see this link getting "filled in". The following is from the obit for Frentz in the Boston Globe:

Walter Frentz; photographed Hitler's inner circle; at 96 By Geir Moulson, Associated Press | July 28, 2004

BERLIN -- Walter Frentz, who followed Adolf Hitler's inner circle as a Luftwaffe cameraman during the final years of World War II and recorded some of the Nazi era's key events on film, died July 6 in the southern town of eberlingen. He was 96.

Mr. Frentz started in film with a 1931 feature about kayaking in Austria and Yugoslavia. Through Speer, Mr. Frentz met Leni Riefenstahl, who made masterful propaganda films for the Nazis, including "Triumph of the Will" in 1934. Mr. Frentz worked with Riefenstahl on that film and on "Victory of the Faith" in 1933, often using a hand-held camera.

In 1936, he worked with her again on "Olympia," Riefenstahl's famed meditation on muscle and movement at the Berlin Olympics.

After Germany invaded Poland in 1939, Mr. Frentz recorded the victory parade in Warsaw. He also filmed Hitler entering Paris when France capitulated.

In 1941, he was assigned to Hitler's Wolf's Lair bunker in East Prussia, staying with the Nazi leader's inner circle until shortly before the end of the war.

In March 1945, Mr. Frentz took the last pictures of Hitler before the dictator killed himself in his Berlin bunker on April 30.

This is "your write-up". But, if you wish, I can add in a few items here and there. Mkpumphrey 17:48, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
