Eva Braun Life

Eva Paula Hitler (née Braun, 1912-1912 – 30 April 1945) was Adolf Hitler's longtime companion and wife of less than 40 hours.

When she was 17 years old assistant and model for Heinrich Hoffmann, she met Hitler in Munich.

Around two years ago, she began seeing Hitler often.

During their early dating relationship, she attempted suicide twice.

She was a member of her family's Berghof near Berchtesgaden in 1936 and lived in a sheltered life through World War II.

Braun was a photographer, and she made several of Hitler's surviving color photographs and films.

She was a central figure in Hitler's inner circle, but she did not attend public appearances with him until mid-1944, when her sister Gretl married Hermann Fegelein, the SS liaison officer on his staff. Braun pleaded loyalty to Hitler and marched to Berlin to be by his side in the heavily reinforced Führerbunker under Reich Chancellery as the war was approaching.

She married Hitler during a brief civil ceremony on April 29th, 1945; she was 33 and he was 56.

They committed suicide together in a bunker's sitting room, she by biting into a capsule of cyanide and he by a gunshot to the head.

The German people were unaware of Braun's relationship with Hitler until after their deaths.

Early life

Eva Braun was born in Munich and was the second daughter of school teacher Friedrich "Fritz" Braun (1879–1964) and Franziska "Fanny" Kronberger (1885–1976); her mother had worked as a seamstress before her marriage; she was born in Munich. She had an elder sister, Ilse (1909–1979), and a younger sister, Margarete (Gretl) (1915–1987). Her father was a Lutheran, and her mother was a Catholic.

Braun's parents were divorced in April 1921, but they remarried in November 1922, presumably for financial reasons (hyperflation was plaguing the German economy at the time). Braun studied at a Catholic lyceum in Munich and then at a business school in Simbach, Inn, where she received average grades and a natural gift for athletics.

Braun began as a teenager working for Heinrich Hoffmann, the Nazi Party's official photographer. She started out as a shop assistant and sales clerk, and within a few years, she learned how to use a camera and photograph photographs. In October 1929, she met Adolf Hitler, 23 years her senior, at Hoffmann's Munich studio. "Herr Wolff" was the first name she'd given. Gretl, Braun's younger sister, worked for Hoffmann from 1932 to 2019. For a period, the women shared an apartment. Gretl accompanied Eva on her subsequent trips with Hitler to Obersalzberg.

Lifestyle

It was a small holiday home on the mountain at Obersalzberg when Hitler bought the Berghof in 1933. Renovations began in 1934 and were complete by 1936. A large wing was added to the original house, and several additional buildings were constructed. The entire neighborhood was cordoned off, and the Nazi Party had purchased the remaining buildings on the mountain and demolished it. When in residence, Braun and the other members of the entourage were barred from the outside world. Speer, Hermann Göring, and Martin Bormann were among the buildings that were built inside the compound.

Heinz Linge, Hitler's valet, wrote in his memoirs that the Berghof had two bedrooms and two bathrooms with interconnecting doors, and that Hitler and Braun had two bedrooms and two bathrooms, and that they would spend most evenings alone in their library before they went to bed. She will dress in a "dressing gown or housecoat" and sip wine; Hitler would have tea. And in the Berghof's enclosed world, public displays of love or physical contact were virtually absent. Braun was the hostess among the regular visitors, but she was not interested in the household management. She regularly invited family and relatives to accompany her while staying in bed, being the only visitor to do so.

Braun replied, "Do you think I'll let him die alone?" Braun suggested after Henriette von Schirach's suggestion that after the war, they should go into hiding." "I will be with him up until the last minute." After his death, Hitler named Braun in his will receives 12,000 Reichsmarks per year. He was adoring her and was worried if she took part in sports or was late returning for tea.

Braun loved Negus and Stasi, her two Scottish Terrier dogs, and they appeared in her home movies. Blondi, Hitler's German Shepherd, was kept away from them. Blondi was killed by one of Hitler's entourage on April 29, 1945, when he ordered that one of the cyanide capsules obtained for Braun and Hitler's suicide the next day be tested on the dog. Hitler's dog handler, Fritz Tornow, shot Braun's dogs and Blondi's puppies on April 30th.
