Eva Braun 
Blondi and a black pooch take Eva and Adolf for their daily walk "From our first meeting I swore to follow you anywhere--even unto death - I live only for your love." Letter from Eva to Adolf
after an assassination attempt on his life. |
This is a true love story...
Eva loved Adolf
Adolf loved Eva
And for years destiny kept them apart as Adolf's work
took him away for long periods of time.
Adolf would telephone Eva every day.
He called her "my little one"
And at the end in the Berlin bunker, facing Russian soldiers and a fate worse than death if she stayed, Eva remained with her husband despite him ordering her to leave.
She was loyal even unto death.
Welcome to the trail of Eva Hitler,
Wife of Adolf The Great.
Eva Anna Paula Braun was from a Bavarian family, the second daughter of schoolteacher Friedrich Braun and and Franziska Kronberger. At age 17 she took a job as an office and lab assistant and photographer's model for Heinrich Hoffman, the official photographer for the NSDAP, Hitler's National Socialist German Worker's Party. It was at Hoffman's studio where she met Hitler in 1929. Clearly infatuated by Hitler Eva would slip letters into his pocket. Gradually a relationship developed between them which remained secret except to close family and Hitler's closest associates. It was a lonely relationship for Eva who attempted suicide several times; however Hitler's personal staff looked down on her as self-centered and spoilt. She gradually improved her stature and nature over the years until she was viewed with approval by Hitler's staff and close friends.
Adolf decided that he could never have children of his own,
because the burden of following in his footsteps would be too harsh on them.

 | "I must write you these words so that you will not feel sad over our end here in the shelter. It is rather we who are filled with sorrow because it is your fate to live on into the chaos that will follow. For myself, I am glad to die here; glad to be at the side of the Fuehrer; foremost of all, glad that the horror now to come is spared me. What could life still give me? It has already been perfect. It has already given me its best and its fullest. Why should I go on living? This is the time to die; the right time. With the Fuehrer I have had everything. To die now, beside him, completes my happiness. Live on well and as happily as you can. Shed no tears nor be regretful over our deaths. It is the perfect and proper ending. None of us would change it now. It is the right end for a German woman." | - Eva Hitler ( last letter to her sister) |
