Linge worked as a valet (chamber servant) at Wolfsschanze in Rastenburg and at Hitler's bunker in the last days of the Führer's life and was Hitler's personal ordinance officer. Linge delivered messages to Hitler and also escorted people whom Hitler sent for. Linge was one of many soldiers, servants, secretaries and officers who moved into the Reich Chancellery bunker in 1945. There he continued as Hitler's valet and ordinance officer and was one of those who closely witnessed the last days of Hitler's life. Linge was one of the last to leave the bunker and was arrested by the Red Army. He was released from Soviet captivity in 1955 and died in Bremen in the Federal Republic of Germany in 1980. The depiction of Linge in Oliver Hirschbiegel's film Der Untergang is reported to be accurate (he is played by a German actor named Thomas Limpinsel).
