Hanna was a record breaking pilot in nazi Germany and was close to Hitler. She was awarded by him personally and presented the idea of “Operation Suicide”. She was loyal to Hitler to the end of the war. She was also the last to see Hitler in his bunker. She never denounced Adolf Hitler.
She stated in an interview
“ And what have we now in Germany? A country of bankers and car-makers. Even our great army has gone soft. Soldiers wear beards and question orders. I am not ashamed to say I believed in National Socialism. I still wear the Iron Cross with diamonds Hitler gave me. But today in all of Germany you can't find a single person who voted Adolf Hitler into power ... Many Germans feel guilty about the war. But they don't explain the real guilt we share – that we lost.”
She continued
“ I asked Hermann Göring one day, "What is this I am hearing that Germany is killing Jews?" Göring responded angrily, "A totally outrageous lie made up by the British and American press. It will be used as a rope to hang us someday if we lose the war“
After the war she continued to break records competing in competitions.
In the 1960s Kwame Nkrumah invited her to Ghana after reading about her. At Afienya she founded the first black African national gliding school, working closely with the government and the armed forces. The school was ran by J.E.S. de Graft-Hayford, who was the first indigenous Air Force Commander in Ghana and Black Sub-Saharan Africa. The West German government supported Hanna as technical adviser. The school was very important to Kwame as he saw it as making Ghana “modern”.
Her opinions on race changed through her time in Ghana.
Reitsch said about her relationship with Ghana and Kwame Nkrumah.
“Earlier in my life, it would never have occurred to me to treat a black person as a friend or partner ..."
She supported Kwame Nkrumah even when people saw him as a dictator. She even supported him after was ousted out of power by the CIA.
The CIA wanted Kwame gone because they feared a United and independent Africa.

In 1979 Reitsch died of a heart attack. Former British test pilot and Royal Navy officer Eric Brown said he received a letter from Reitsch in early August 1979 in which she said, "It began in the bunker, there it shall end."
