Erich Kempka

Erich Kempka (16.9.1910 - 24.1.1975) was an SS officer and Adolf Hitler's private chauffer. He was also Gerda Christian's first husband, but they divorced at 1943. Kempka resided in the bunker during the last days of Nazi Germany. He provided the gasoline with which the corpses of Hitler and Eva Braun were doused before being set aflame. The real-life Kempka made some astonishing remarks about his fellow bunker residents, telling historians that Herman Fegelein "had his brains in his scrotum" and that "You could hear Magda Goebbels' ovaries rattling" when she was near Hitler.

In Downfall, Kempka is played by acotr Jürgen Tonkel.
