History / World War II / Nazi Germany. Wilhelm Mohnke , 1911 - 2001, General and one of the original members of the SS-Staff Guard. Map: Escape route of Hitler's staff under General Mohnke. (After Hitler's suicide General Wilhelm Mohnke and other members of Hitler's staff decided to escape from Berlin to the Allies on the western side of the Elbe or to the German Army. Mohnke's group planned to break out towards the German Army, positioned in Prinzenallee. The group headed along the subway but their route was blocked so they went aboveground and later joined hundreds of other Germans civilians and military personnel who had sought refuge at the Schultheiss-Patzenhofer Brewery on Prinzenallee. On 2 May 1945, General Weidling issued an order calling for the complete surrender of all German forces still in Berlin. Knowing they could not get through the Soviet encirclement, Mohnke decided to surrender to the Red Army).
