EVA BRAUN AND HER ALLEGED 1945 BABY WITH A MUSLIM OFFICER IN THE GERMAN ARMY
WHO CAN PROVE I AM NOT THE BIOLOGICAL SON OF EVA BRAUN WITH A GERMAN MUSLIM OFFICER ABANDONED AFTER THE WAR ON THE PORCH OF SAINT HELENA BASILICA IN THE BRITISH COLONY OF MAURITIUS AS THE RUMOUR WENT IN THOSE DAYS???
I CANNOT PROVE I AM!!!
The above uniform is borrowed from a Jewish Officer of the German Army Jewish General Helmut Wilberg - Photo shopped.
My adoptive father Idris ADORED MONSIEUR ADOLF HITLER and called his dog known to me - HITLER. WHY???
My younger Sister confirmed this in the presence of many witnesses recently in London.
WWII HISTORY MAINLY WRITTEN BY JEWS OR ZIONISTS IS A PACK OF LIES!
I AM THROWING AWAY MY DOZENS OF BOOKS (PROPAGANDA) ON OR ABOUT IT!!!
EVA BRAUN WAS ALLEDGEDLY (ON LINE) OF ASHKENAZI ORIGINS (DNA TESTED???) - NOT SURPRISING AT ALL! Everybody was "Jewish" around Monsieur Adolphe including his photographer, his cook, his doctor, even himself some say! He ate only Kosher, but was also said to be a vegetarian? WHO TO BELIEVE???
OR MAYBE MY BIOLOGICAL MOTHER WAS A MIXED RUSSIAN???
1. My first wife is Russian - Naina Gregoryevna Sadabash (I was still a virgin at 21!) - She told me she was saved by German soldiers while left to die in the snow while still an infant when her mother was running away from sex traffickers in Moldavia.
2. My second wife is Eurasian - Shirin Abdool Gaffoor - She used to wear a medallion with a Swastika in the 1970s -COINCIDENCE???
3. My third wife (1981) is Polish - Małgorzata Skrobut - She was expelled from Paris in 1981 by the Jewish Immigration Mafia ruling in Paris! - COINCIDENCE???
4. My fourth wife is French - Sylviane Paulette Garnier - She told me
she was saved by German soldiers in Paris while still an infant and almost dying because there was no proper health care and she was treated in a Military hospital - COINCIDENCE??? She confirmed this to me again a few weeks ago, but refuses to record it down in her own handwriting (this would surely offend her Communist son Joachim Garnier!) !
5. And my fifth wife is US American - Kaamilah bint Qadar (Kathalyn Therese Parker Bates) - but we never met! THE JFK CURSE, MOST CERTAINLY!
That's why I am completely messed up and looking for my own biological Mother!
I had one single girl friend in my entire life, my French wife-to-be and Mother of my unique child! Since 1990, I never touched any woman again to this very day! I am a good monk, better than most I hear of - better than the Pope! Now 84 years old, but Sylviane does not want to see me at all! Yet, she enjoys wearing my fake Russian hat!
I could have made a great career in Jollywood most probably! But, Catholic Nadine Nelly Jeannette Lhopitalier(future wife of the French Baron Edmond Adolphe de Rothschild) refused to sell herself to become an actress as was and still is the Hollywood practice arguing she would keep her virginity only for her husband, and she did just that. And, to this very day I never sold myself to anybody, government or religion!
I
am so often reminded to FORGET the past, but only when others dislike it, but
they all remember what they like, including my Sweet and Beloved Mother Rabiah
who also tried to destroy me and my family.
But,
MY past made me stronger, saved my life and kept me away from doing evil
things, like, for example, being UNGRATEFUL for all the good things others did
to me, knowingly or unknowingly, like that German Lady Eva Braun who was
murdered by Ashkenazi pogromists,My
future-to-be Hindustani Grand-Father Ally Muhammad, a Son of British Holocaust
Survivor, found me abandoned in a basket on the porch of Saint Helena's Basilica.Winston Churchill deliberately starved to
death over 4 million Hindustanis, just like the Satanic West has been doing to
hundreds of millions of people around the world, including 150 million Muslims
in the past centuries.In only one country, they say was the
birthplace of their civilisation, they starved to death half a million under
five children and murdered some 3 million Iraqis just as the Zionists have been
doing to Arabs, Palestinians, Asians and Africans.
My
alleged father was a Muslim in the German Army, but who can ever PROVE this to
be false?I cannot even prove I am right
about this remarkable fragment of my alleged past, but don't most people not
lie about almost everything, including about GOD, Politics, History, Science,
and almost everything? I was never
proven to have lied at all for the past 60 years I have been communicating
openly and publicly to millions!But, I
always proved my accusers to be the REAL LIARS, HYPOCRITES, PAID AGENTS, or
IGNORAMUSES, including people of religion, those blind lovers of myths, lies,
and evil doctrines like the Political Zionists!
How
many of us have hard evidence that we are the real children of our Blessed Mothers???That's a good one!Oy Vey!
BAFS
- EVA BRAUN

Lives of Hitler’s Jewish Soldiers,
both by Bryan Mark Rigg
Half-Jewish General Helmut Wilberg. [WHY HALF???] This photo is in the public domain via Wikicommons.
"According to Rigg’s research, a few thousand full Jews,
sixty-thousand half Jews (many of whom called themselves Mampe after a
cocktail popular in Berlin at the time that was half-sweet and
half-bitter), and 90,000 quarter Jews served in the Wehrmacht. Some,
whose fathers, grandfathers, and uncles had been in the Imperial German
Army, had enlisted. Many assimilated Jews, like Anne Frank’s father,
believed Hitler’s racial laws did not apply to them because they had
fought for their country in World War I.
Jewish allegiance to Germany in the early days of the Third Reich is
one of the great tales in the history of unrequited love. Others were
drafted. Some went in hope of saving their families; others of saving
themselves. As more than one would say later, the safest place for a Jew
in Hitler’s Germany was in the military. Some even tried to get into
the Luftwaffe because it was rumored that Goering protected his own.
In the early days of the Third Reich, service for Jews did not seem
so extraordinary. As I said, many believed themselves Germans at heart,
Jews only peripherally. Some had converted to Christianity. Then, on
April 8, 1940, with Jews already forbidden in the military, Hitler
issued a decree requiring the dismissal of half-Jewish soldiers and
those married to half-Jews. Quarter-Jews and those married to
quarter-Jews could remain but were ineligible to become officers or
NCOs."

JEW MARK ZUCKERBERG DID NOT LIKE IT AND TERMINATED MY FACEBOOK ACCOUNT IN SEPTEMBER 2020!
I read that the victors mass murdered millions after the war as well as POW, and raped some 2 million European women???
THE ZIONIST ISRAELOPHITES ARE NOW PUBLICLY CAMPAIGNING (ABOVE) TO KILL, KILL, KILL MORE, BUT I WILL NOT PROMOTE THEIR GENOCIDAL CAMPAIGN, SO I REMOVED THE CALL FOR KILL, KILL, KILL!!!

Eva Braun, Hitler's Maiden
Eva Anna Paula Braun Hitler (6 February 1912 – 30 April 1945) is one of the most notorious women in history.
Eva at the Berghof, looking in the general direction of the Eagle's Nest.
Eva
was a professional photographer, an invaluable skill for someone in her
position. Many of these pictures undoubtedly were taken by Eva or at
least requested and arranged by her.
Eva Braun relaxing in the mid-1930s. Who wears short shorts?
Eva also was quite toothsome and athletic, and not afraid to show it.
This
is a nice portrait of Eva. The soft-focus really isn't necessary, she
was a very attractive young woman. This makes her look older than she
was, which perhaps was intentional being that Hitler was much older.
Let's
be real: Eva Braun has a very bad reputation in many quarters. To some
extent, it is guilt by association, though Eva herself did some things
that virtually anyone, at least in the 21st Century, would consider
improper (such as posing in blackface). It is not that Eva Braun
personally did anything terrible, but that she was the devoted consort
of one Adolf Hitler, and he did terrible things.
Eva enjoyed prancing about in peasant costumes. Hitler did at times, too, at least for some publicity shots.
Eva
Braun was a closely guarded state secret, but she was just an ordinary
girl. While we know all about her, ordinary Germans during World War II -
and people outside the Reich's borders - would not have recognized the
name. This is a clear case of something being obvious to us now that
only became known after the war.
Eva
Braun in a surprisingly modern-looking outfit. She loved to take
pictures of herself and Adolf playing with local animals. I can't make
out what she is holding in her left hand.
Eva was from Munich. Her family was of middle-class means. She had an older and younger sister.
Eva Braun’s parents, Fritz and Franziska, Christmas 1940.
Eva's
parents sent her to a convent in Simbach in the 1920s. She left the
convent in mid-1929 and secured a job as 'girl Friday' to photographer
Heinrich Hoffman.
Eva
did secretarial work and eventually learned how to use a camera and
develop the film. She was quite athletic and kept herself in great shape
for the times. Eva was quite happy swimming or bicycling or working out
on the parallel bars.
In
1929, at 17 years old, Eva was working at the studio as usual when she
met a customer who introduced himself as 'Herr Wolff.' It was Adolf
Hitler. Eva later told her sister Ilse:
“I’d
stayed on after closing time to file some papers and I’d climbed up a
ladder to fetch the files kept on the top shelves of the cupboard. At
that moment the boss came in accompanied by a man of uncertain age with a
funny moustache, a light-coloured, English-style overcoat and a big
felt hat in his hand."
Eva and her animals...
Hoffmann sent her out to buy beer and sausages and then invited Eva to join them. She recalled in her diary:
“The
elderly gentleman (Hitler) was paying me compliments. We talked about
music and a play at the Staatstheater, as I remember, with him devouring
me with his eyes all the time."
Adolf was 23 years
older than Eva. So, Hitler would have been about 40 when they met, not
quite "elderly" but 40 may seem so to a teenager.
Apparently,
Eva wrote Hitler a note at this first meeting. She stuffed it in his
pocket. Whatever it said, it was something fresh. After looking at it,
Hitler asked if she was joking. She said no, she really liked him. This
was the start of their relationship.
Eva later recalled in a letter to Adolf Hitler:
"From
our first meeting on, I have promised myself to follow you wherever you
go, even to death. You know that I live only for your love."
Hitler
liked Eva from the start. It probably did not hurt that Eva was in the
photography business, and he was one of the most photographed men of his
time who used pictures to create mass appeal.
Eva's
special talents as a photographer came in very handy for Hitler. Here
she is taking one of the carefully posed propaganda photographs of
Hitler with children that the government liked to distribute. It appears
that she is wearing platform shoes, which did not hit peak
fashionability for another few decades.
Eva's special skills matched Hitler's needs... Adolf began calling upon Eva.
Eva with actress Else von Möllendorff.
Hitler
was living with Geli Raubal, his niece, at the time. It is widely
assumed that it was a romantic relationship. Geli and Hitler had a
violent quarrel one day, 18 September 1931 - Geli wanted something that
he refused to give her, perhaps, who knows, marriage or her freedom? -
and shot herself after he left.
Hitler and Geli.
Hitler
went into a deep depression. Eva looked a bit like Geli, though thinner
and more athletic, and was very comforting. After that, Hitler began to
associate more with Eva. But that didn't mean that Hitler associated only with Eva.
At
first, Hitler had several mistresses alongside Eva - that may have been
one of his issues with Geli, too. During the early months of 1932,
though, Eva became Hitler's permanent mistress, part of his permanent
stable.

Hitler
neglected Eva at times after that. During the spring of 1935, they had
some issues and Hitler reportedly saw other women. She would write angry
entries in her diary about how dismissive Hitler was to her, how Hitler
took her for granted, how she just wanted to live a normal life with
her man, and the like. However, Hitler always came back to her.
Eva in 1935.
Eva
attempted suicide in November 1932, and again in May 1935. Apparently,
she thought Hitler was seeing other women - which he apparently was.
Even in later years, Hitler at times would squire other women to the
opera and so forth. That doesn't mean they were on the outs, though - it
more likely was to keep Eva out of the society pages.
Eva's favorite exercise spot at a nearby lake today. She would bring guests to go swimming with her, such as her gynecologist.
After
the second attempt, Hitler bought Eva a house in Munich. He made her
his 'private secretary' so she could come and go without too much fuss.
She would travel with him at times, too, at least to nearby events, and
stay hidden away in nearby rooms.
Perhaps this is how Eva amused herself while waiting for Adolf to finish his boring speech before 100,000 people.
It
was all very cozy and private. Hitler wanted to appear "available" to
his female fans - some of his most fanatical and devoted supporters -
and so Eva almost literally was kept in the closet.
Hitler’s
pilot, Hans Baur, later told author John Toland that he routinely flew
Eva to visit Hitler. He would bring Eva around to Hitler's rooms, and
there they would all visit. All very prim and proper. At some point,
Baur would tactfully leave. As he told Toland, “who it was who escorted
Eva back to her room, I don’t know, nor do I know how long her visits
lasted.” Three's a crowd in such situations.

Insiders
revealed later that Eva and Hitler were virtually inseparable and
vacationed together - even if Eva was cloistered away somewhere out of
the spotlight. When separated, Hitler would randomly ring Eva, just like
any other boyfriend.
I
thought this might be a candid snap of Hitler talking to Eva, but no
dice. Instead, the Fuhrer is thanking Josef Burckel on the occasion of
the Saar victory, on the morning of 15th January 1935. This is from
"Adolf Hitler: Bilder aus dem Leben des Fuhrers," published in 1935.
However... I bet he lit up when talking to his main squeeze, too. This
may have been taken by Eva.
On New Year's Eve
in 1936, Hitler held a huge diplomatic reception. It was a very formal
occasion, and Eva's presence - largely unknown to the public - would not
have been appropriate. However, she was on his mind.
Hitler
wishing his guests a happy new year on New Year's Eve 1936. Not exactly
showing a lot of warmth without Eva around. He went back inside after
this and called her.
Hitler eventually got rid
of his guests with a "Hitler Salute," above, and then set aside time to
ring up Eva and wish her a happy New Year. She handed the phone to her
sister Gretl and her boyfriend, with whom they were celebrating, saying
“Hey, it’s time to wish your Fuehrer a Happy New Year!”
Joseph
Goebbels, Eva Braun, Johanna Wolf, Albert Speer and another man at the
Berghof. Albert Speer is off to the side looking a bit glum. He was not a
big fan of Eva's, and said once, "Historians will be very disappointed
in Eva Braun." However, he was wrong, because Eva captured many fleeting
moments at the Berghof with her cameras that help bring the mountain
retreat to life. Eva's skill with the camera may have been one of her
more attractive qualities to Hitler; narcissists love the adoration of a
girl always around snapping their picture.
Eva
began visiting Berchtesgaden, and at first, stayed at the Hotel
Berchtesgadener Hof (a Party hotel frequented by Hitler himself before
he took over the Berghof). Eva soon had her own quarters at his place.
Eventually, Eva took over and Hitler kicked Geli Raubal's mother Angela
(his own half-sister) out of the mountain retreat in the late 1930s.
Angela had run the household for years (they had numerous servants, all
unsophisticated local girls who did not even know who Hitler was). Two
hens in the henhouse is one too many, and inevitably the two crossed
swords. After Angela's departure, Eva had free reign. Nobody dared to
cross her after that. With Hitler usually in Berlin, Eva had the run of
the mansion with its spectacular views. Everybody who went to the
Berghof knew about Eva, but nobody talked about her in public.
Hitler
bought Eva jewelry from 1939-1944, though she is not usually shown
wearing much. He did it in a clandestine manner. Martin Bormann would
bring over some choices, and Hitler would grab something. Hitler simply
could not go out and pick up fancy jewelry like “a normal and
inconspicuous person,” as he put it. Word soon gets around if the
Fuehrer of Greater Germany is seen buying diamond rings and necklaces
and the like.

Hitler
and Eva also corresponded regularly. Hitler spent a lot of time in
Berlin, while Eva spent the vast majority of her time at Berchtesgaden.
She rarely visited Berlin (or the rougher military headquarters where
Hitler spent extended periods of time, such as in the Wolf's Lair in
East Prussia and Ukraine). Braun family friend Nerin E. Gun wrote Eva
Braun-Hitler: Leben und Schicksal (New York and Bruchsal/Baden, 1968).
It included a few previously unknown letters (and many Eva diary
entries), but there apparently were many more that Gun did not have.
In
"The Psychopathic God," Robert Waite renders a letter Adolf Hitler
wrote to Eva Braun shortly after the attempt on his life in July 1944:
"Mein Liebes Tschapperl ("My sweet little girl"),
Don't
worry about me. I'm fine though perhaps a little tired. I hope to come
home soon and then I can rest in your arms. I have a great longing for
rest, but my duty to the German people comes before everything else.
Don't forget that the dangers I encounter don't compare with those of
our soldiers at the Front. I thank you for the proof of your affection
and ask you also to thank your esteemed father and your most gracious
mother for their greetings and good wishes. I am very proud of the honor
- please tell them that - to possess the love of girl who comes from
such a distinguished family. I have sent to you the uniform I was
wearing during the unfortunate day. It is proof that Providence has
protected me and that we have nothing more to fear from our enemies.
From my whole heart, your A.H."
"Tschapperl"
is a word in an Austrian dialect that doesn't have a good translation.
It is something along the lines of "My sweet little cupcake" or
"Honeybunny." No matter how you translate it, someone will disagree and
have a "better" translation. Let's just say that Hitler would not have
used it with any of his generals.
Part of Hitler's uniform from "the unfortunate day."
Since
Eva's film survived at Berchtesgaden, it is possible Hitler's letters
to her did as well - but they are lost. Perhaps a GI picked them up and
mailed them home with his kit and they are sitting in someone's attic in
Dallas or Atlanta or Shreveport. However, they also simply could have
been left where they were or destroyed in the bomb blast that destroyed
the Berghof. It would have been dangerous for any locals to go up there
and bring stuff out.
Eva took good care of Adolf's dogs.
I
was debating whether to bring this up, but I might as well because
people are fascinated by Eva Braun. So, let's "go there." According to
Dr. Hani Miletski in her book "Understanding Bestiality and Zoophila,"
there are "strong rumors" that Eva Braun was into dogs. Really into
dogs. As in... well, look at the title of that book.
This was likely taken at the Konigsee.
I
won't explain any further, because there may be children reading. But
one theory is that Adolf's peculiar fascination with his two German
Shepherds Bella and Blondi may have had something to do with Eva's, you
know, predilections. Dr. Miletski argues that women who are into that
sort of scene are more interested in the relationship aspects of it than
with more, um, mechanical aspects... Hitler, as mentioned, was gone a
lot. Having a canine companion is not unusual for anyone, of course. Eva
had quite a few at the Berghof. Just because one loves dogs doesn't
necessarily mean anything.

I
know, you're "outraged" that this "scurrilous defamation" by Eva's and
Adolf's "political enemies" should be repeated. Look, I'm only the
messenger, take it up with Dr. Miletski. But notice the absence of
cats..... Okay, after that, I have to give you a rare picture of Eva
with a cat - and yes, it was difficult to find.
This
picture of a youthful Eva with a cat looks as though it was taken ca.
1930. It likely was one of her earliest selfies. Meow!
Ok, getting back on track...
Else von Möllendorff. Shot probably taken by Eva.
Eva
retained her interest in film and photography throughout her days at
Berchtesgaden. Many of the behind-the-scenes photographs at the Berghof
and elsewhere were taken by Eva, including extensive and sometimes
elaborate movies (with title cards, fancy editing, and the works).
Altogether, the Library of Congress has four and a half hours of Eva's
home movies, many in color.
Eva
in a rare unposed shot, taken at the Kehlsteinhaus (Eagle's Nest). This
also is a rare shot because Hitler only went up to the Eagle's Nest
seven times. It was taken during the reception after the wedding of Eva
Braun's younger sister Gretl to SS-Gruppenfuhrer Hermann Fegelein, of Heinrich Himmler's
staff, on 3 June 1944. I like this photo because it shows Hitler as
totally camera-conscious, whereas Eva doesn't give a fig. Note how the
photographer subtly "crowns" Hitler. It is just three days before D-Day,
and Hitler looks incredibly vibrant. Photos that were taken
afterward (and after the Soviet offensive that began a few weeks later)
always show him as a broken-down wreck with graying hair, stooped and
twitching. (National Archives)
Eva went on some
excursions without Hitler: to Denmark on the cruise ship Robert Ley in
1939, to Italy in 1941 with a film crew, to local lakes, and up to the
Eagle's Nest. She apparently was fun-loving and guileless. Take that as
you will, Eva Braun certainly is not admired by everyone.

Incidentally,
regarding that trip to Italy, there may have been more to it than a
simple tourist trip. There is a theory that Eva suffered
from Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome, a rare
gynecological condition that afflicts about one in every 5000 girls.
MRKH causes underdeveloped reproductive organs, which in Eva's case may
have meant that she had an underdeveloped vaginal canal and uterus.
There is circumstantial evidence that Eva's personal doctor, Dr. Gustav
Scholten of Munich, performed an operation to enlarge her canal in
Munich Or, Eva may have traveled to Italy to either to have or to
recover from the operation in order to avoid publicity.
Part
of this theory is that Eva and Adolf never had intimate relations, and
there is some evidence for that, too. All of this is mere speculation
based upon circumstantial evidence (including some of Eva's comments to
others, such as her Italian translator Eugen Dollman that she and Adolf
were never intimate, though Eva was known to be dramatic at times).
These scattered bits of evidence are used by historians to try to pierce
the mystery of Hitler's relationship with Braun which will forever
remain murky. Again, that Eva had MRKH is only a theory, but there is
good evidence that Eva did have some kind of gynecological surgery
around this time.
On
15 April 1945, Eva left Berchtesgaden - against Hitler's orders - and
flew to Berlin on one of the last Lufthansa flights of the war. She
stayed in the bunker until the end.
Eva Braun and Albert Speer
Eva Braun and Albert Speer.
Albert
Speer had a lot to say about Eva Braun and is one of our few primary
sources. Speer is a special case, because he was one of the very few
from the inner circle who survived the war, was interrogated immediately
after it, and then spent decades reminiscing about it and elaborating
on his earlier characterizations. The public image of Speer is of
someone who to one extent or another rehabilitated himself by being
properly repentant, making various noises about rejecting Hitler during
the last days of the Third Reich and uttering socially conscious
statements after entering the book-peddling circuit of the 1960s and
1970s.

This
article is not about Speer so I won't go further into the twists and
turns of his life here. However, it is important for historians to
remember that the picture painted by our sources reflects not just on
the people being talked about, but the speaker himself, and Speer did
not have a consistent view of Eva Braun over time. That said, Speer's
recollections remain of value even if they are, shall we say, nuanced
because Speer at least knew both Hitler and Eva Braun and lived to tell
about it.
Speer and Hitler at the Wolfschanze during the war.
Speer
was interrogated - it was more of a debriefing, interrogating sounds a
lot more intimidating than it apparently was - on 1 August 1945. The
questions, at least about Eva Braun, were exceedingly general, such as
"Who was Fraulein BRAUN and what was her influence?" and "What were his
[Hitler's] relations with women?" One must recall that Braun was
shielded from public view, and even those in the German government
outside the top tiers likely never heard about her aside from perhaps
some idle gossip. So, one must give credit to the American questions for
even thinking to ask about her at all.
Hitler apparently giving Speer some kind of award, March/June 1943 (Heinrich Hoffmann, Federal Archives).
Speer,
without much prompting, gave a fairly generous portrayal of Braun (who
already was assumed to be dead at this point). He called her a "modest
woman" who did not "exploit" her position nor try to influence Hitler.
The quote everyone uses is this:
For all writers of history she is going to be a disappointment.
He goes on to say that she was very athletic (as can be seen in her self-made films). He does shade her slightly:
Outwardly
she often appeared conceited and haughty. That, however, was due to her
inferiority complex; for her social position at OBERSALZBERG was not
clearly defined [emphasis in original].
Then he quickly cleans that up with another quote that is widely bandied about:
Of
all those who during the last weeks lived together in the BERLIN
shelter, she was one of the bravest, and probably also the most
intelligent. She wanted to stay in BERLIN and die with HITLER [emphasis in original].
He
emphasized that there were genuine feelings of love between the two.
After noting that Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels had acted as a
procurer of women for him during the 1930s, Speer notes:
He
[Hitler] appears, however, to have always remained true to the woman he
loved, Fraulein EVA BRAUN. Her love was very significant for him; he
spoke of her with great respect and deep reverence. He knew that he
could have had any number of women; this he rejected, for, as he
jokingly said, he did not know whether they would prefer him as "Reich
Chancellor" or as ADOLF HITLER [emphasis in original].
I
noted above that characterizations by our first-hand witnesses reflect
upon the speaker as much as the person spoken of. This is the case with
Speer. He had 20 years in Spandau Prison to mull everything over and
figure out what nuances in his characterizations would best match the
current Zeitgeist. His books written during that stay and afterward - he
famously smuggled out writings written on toilet paper and the like -
such as "Inside the Third Reich" and "Spandau: The Secret Diaries" tells
a much different tale. Here is a quote from a 12 April 1976 interview with Speer
published in People Magazine, when his latest book was riding high on
the sales charts. The question posed was, "Was Hitler’s marriage to Eva
Braun just before his suicide merely for the record, related to his
concern with his place in posterity?":
It
could have been. On the other hand, it could also have been because he
was really touched that she, against his wishes, came to join him in
Berlin at the end. It would be wrong to assume that Hitler was a man
without the ability to show and experience sentimental feelings.
Nevertheless, his relationship to Eva Braun was abominable. He always
treated her like a fifth-rate person. I pitied her.
Speer
was intelligent but also a calculating fellow. We always must remember
that when discussing his later writings and interviews.
Such
talk about treating Eva like a "fifth-rate person" and pitying her is a
much different picture than Speer gave in his 1945 interrogation,
where, without prodding, he mentions Hitler's "great respect and deep
reverence" for Eva Braun. By 1976, Speer basically makes it sound as if
Eva was one step from being sent to a concentration camp. Of course,
this latter characterization perfectly matched the stereotypes of the
time (and to some extent today) of Hitler as a pure monster with no
capacity for love or any real emotions or affection (but note how Speer
cleverly denies the stereotype before leaping into it with both feet).
The quote also hints at Eva as a victim - a quality which would help
redeem virtually anyone in the 1970s, when victimhood was next to
saintliness. In effect, with Germany marching Leftward, Speer has drawn
the measure of his audience and tailored his message to it. Speer's 1945
portrayal, however, more closely matches other sources. Draw your own
conclusions, but personally, I trust statements made closer in time to
events being described as opposed to those made 30 years later, when the
world has changed and attributing any positive qualities whatsoever to
Hitler might impact book sales and invitations to fancy soirées.
Anyway, let's get back to Eva Braun.
The Final Days
Happier times for Eva at the Berghof.
After
arriving in the bunker on April 15, 1945, Eva at first was hopeful.
This actually was in line with the prevailing sentiment in the bunker,
because the final Soviet assault on Berlin which began on 16 April
appeared to be stalling out. In fact, the Wehrmacht defenses on the Oder
were engaged in a death struggle which gave the German high command
hope for several days. General Keitel, for instance, claimed that if an
attack could be contained for three days, it had failed, and the 19th
was the fourth day of the Soviet offensive.
Herta
Schneider and Eva Braun. An author who claims to have seen private
documents asserts that Eva wrote at least two final letters from the
bunker to Herta, who survived the war.
Anna
Maria Sigmund, in "The Women of the Nazis," claims to have seen letters
typed by Eva (or perhaps by Hitler's secretaries for Eva) to
friend Herta Schneider. The Schneider estate kept the letters before
auctioning them off to a private collector sometime around the turn of
the 21st Century. How Schneider got the letters in the Reich's final
days is a bit of a mystery, but Hitler still held complete control over
everything still under German control and could get things such as mail
delivery done. In a letter dated 19 April 1945, Eva writes to Schneider
in an optimistic vein:
We already hear
the artillery fire from the eastern front and bombs fall from attack
planes every day.... I'm very happy right now to be close to
[Hitler].... I am convinced that everything will turn out alright in the
end and [Hitler] is hopeful as he seldom is.
The
optimism did not last. It is generally accepted that the German front
around Berlin finally caved in the very next day, Hitler's birthday, 20
April 1945. A couple of days later, Hitler had his famous breakdown in
which he finally accepted that the war was lost. That day, 22 April
1945, Eva wrote another letter to Schneider (apparently her last):
We
are fighting here until the last but I'm afraid the end is threatening
closer and closer.... I cannot tell friends what I personally suffer
from the Fuhrer.... I cannot understand how everything could be so, but
one cannot believe in a God!... Greetings to my friends, I'm dying how
I've lived. It's not difficult for me. You know that.
It's
interesting that Eva refers to her man in this final letter as "the
Fuhrer," not by his name. Formalities were retained up to the last.
There
were some final visits by various officials and the local military
commanders as the Soviets approached, but the die was cast. The
situation in the bunker deteriorated further after Albert Speer left on
the 24th, with no military or diplomatic relief possible. Everyone
understood the situation, apparently, Hitler most of all, which no doubt
accounts for his sour mood to which Eva obliquely refers in her letters
to Schneider. Speer noted that even by the 24th:
[S]he
[Eva Braun] had detached herself from life. She was calm and determined
and, at this time, one of the few who were faithful to ADOLF HITLER -
perhaps the only one. Earlier, HITLER had already asserted with
resignation that he had only one friend who would remain loyal to the
end in his decisive hour, and that was EVA BRAUN [emphasis in original].
As
the days dwindled, Hitler had Eva's brother-in-law Hermann Fegelein
shot for being a nuisance ("desertion," supposedly). It was the last
gasp of tyranny. Test pilot Hanna Reitsch
made an extremely risky flight into Berlin with Luftwaffe General
Greim, but Hitler refused to leave and Reitsch flew back out again only
with Greim. The end was inevitable, and Hitler better than anyone else
in the world knew how little time remained. He decided on 28 April 1945
that there was no longer any need for pretense. He asked his people to
find someone to marry them. Goebbels recalled that he himself had been
married by one Walter Wagner, a Berlin Justice of the Peace, so someone
was sent out to find him. Somewhat incredibly (during the final days in
the bunker with the Soviets literally down the block!), Wagner was
located in a Volkssturm detachment defending the vicinity. Wagner came
in, married Hitler and Eva on the afternoon of the 29th, and then left
to return to obscurity.
On
30 April 1945, Adolf Hitler held his final staff conference and was
informed that the Russians now were only a few blocks away. He had lunch
as usual at 2 o’clock in the afternoon with his two secretaries and his
cook. He then made systematic preparations to commit suicide. Hitler
perhaps could have waited another day, but that was May Day, and he did
not wish to commit suicide on a day of celebration for the Soviet Union.
Hitler
and Eva on 20 April 1944, Hitler's 55th birthday. The war is going
poorly and Hitler looks worn, but Eva is in fine form. The spring of
1944 may have been a difficult time for the Reich, but somewhat
paradoxically it was a very happy time for Eva because Hitler spent a
lot of time at the Berghof with her. The Allies did not bomb
Berchtesgaden for another year.
Hitler first
supervised the poisoning of his beloved dog Blondi (this may have taken
place the day before) and her pups. Shortly after 3 p.m. on 30 April,
Hitler and Eva Braun bade farewell to the staff assembled in the bunker,
then retired to their private room to meet their joint fate.
They bit into thin glass vials of cyanide - as he did so, Hitler also shot himself in the head with a 7.65 mm Walther pistol.
Heinz
Linge, Hitler’s personal valet, recalled how he entered Hitler’s suite
and saw Hitler almost upright in a sitting position on a blood-soaked
sofa. Eva Braun lay on the sofa beside him, but she had made no use of
the revolver at her side, preferring to rely on the poison instead. A
small hole showed on his right temple and a trickle of blood ran slowly
down over his cheek. The pistol lay on the floor where it had dropped
from his right hand.
Soldiers
inspect the couch where Adolf Hitler and Frau Hitler committed suicide.
The soldier in the foreground appears to be looking at the bloodstains
on the carpet. It would have been quite dark in there (without the
photographer's flash) if all they had was candles. It would not surprise
me at all if this was some kind of "re-creation" or dramatization of
"the moment" when they entered the bunker.
SS Staff Sgt. Rochus Misch also was in the bunker but did not witness the suicides.
Eva in blackface.
Eva Braun’s face looked perfectly normal: “It was as though she had fallen asleep…” Linge recalled. Eva was 33.
The
official story from Soviet records is that the bodies of Hitler and Eva
were carried out into the yard outside the bunker and burned with
gasoline. The Soviets found the charred remains and moved them to East
Germany for examination. Ultimately, the remains were pulverized and
thrown into a tributary of the Elbe on 4 April 1970. That is the Soviet
account, and there is no hard evidence to either support it or undermine
it. Not a trace remains.
Adolf Hitler and Eva with Ursula “Uschi” Schneider.
An
oddly intimate photo of Hitler with another woman whilst Eva was his
main squeeze. As pointed out by a helpful commenter, it was taken in ski
resort Garmisch Partenkirchen (later home to a major US military base).
The lady appears to be Eva. This is a rare shot of Hitler relaxing,
thus this is an astonishing picture, especially given the possessive
placement of Hitler's right hand. This is one of a sequence of pictures
of Hitler sitting there gazing out the window etc., most with Eva cropped out. (Tentative Credit: ullstein bild).
Apparently Eva after a swim. Compare the pictures directly above, which apparently was taken before she got wet.
Below
is home movie footage shot by Eva Braun. It is in color, which is quite
unusual for the time period. Color footage required many times the cost
of black and white film, but no cost was too great for the Fuhrer's
mistress. Because of that, we have exceptional footage of Hitler,
Berchtesgaden, the cruise and other vacations that Eva went on, and Eva
practicing on the parallel bars and going swimming and everything else
that she liked to do. She rather ostentatiously creates title cards, but
unfortunately, there is no sound to these films. Seriously, these films
look like they were only shot ten or twenty years ago, not at a time
when virtually all Hollywood films were shown in black and white. Some
scenes are also in slow motion, which did not become a television
network staple until the 1970s.
Incidentally, if you are looking for more pictures of Eva Braun and Adolf Hitler, you might like to visit Putschgirl's site
on Tumblr. I have no connection to that site, but whoever runs it has
an uncanny way of uncovering obscure photos of the Third Reich, and some
photos here are duplicates of what is on there.
Dear
Mr. Bjorkman, About the intimate photograph of Hitler sitting with a
lady next to a huge plate glass window, the location is Garmisch
Partenkirchen and the date is definitely April 1, 1935. Please go to
Google Images and key in - Hitler at Garmisch Partenkirchen - there are
three such photographs of Hitler which have been cropped to leave out
the female companion. The captions in German translated into English
show that Hitler was relaxing over a cup of coffee on April 1, 1935 at
that venue. The photographer is certainly Heinrich Hoffmann. The lady is
definitely Baroness Sigrid von Laffert. Please see the link below :-
The
above photograph shows Hitler attending an opera performance of " The
Merry Widow " at the Charlottenberg Opera House, Berlin on December 31,
1935. Sigrid von Laffert is seated next to Hitler. Eva Braun was kept
out of the public's gaze to protect Hitler's image in the eyes of the
German people as a knight in shining armour. Magda Goebbels and Sigrid
bon Laffert bestow the middle class morality with which Hitler humbugged
his fawning followers.
Thanks
very much once again, Raja. Completely agree that its Garmisch, thanks
for finding those shots. How did you know that it was taken there? As to
it being Sigrid, I will go with that, too. Interesting insight how they
tailored Hitler's image in this fashion.
Dear
Mr. Bjorkman, Given that the Swiss alps were in the background, it was a
toss up between the Berghof and Garmisch. Google provided the answers.
Actually, Eva Braun performed a vital role in depicting Hitler in a
humanizing way - she took a lot of photographs and shot amateur films
which show Hitler in a natural manner without wearing the mask or
playacting the Great Leader which he was prone to do in a public gaze.
Count Ciano (the Italian Foreign Minister) never glimpsed Eva Braun but
his roving eye alighted on Sigrid von Laffert (she was born in 1918 and
thus 29 years younger than Hitler) and he mentioned her in his diary as a
likely mistress of Hitler. Whereas the Baroness was just a pretty
aristocrat whose proximity was used by Hitler to woo the Prussian
nobility to gain social acceptance as he had an inferiority complex
about his social status. He wanted the military and industry (both
teeming with Prussian nobility) to help in accelerating rearmament to
further his grandiose dreams.

ReplyYou may be right. Doesn't look like Eva to me, but everyone will draw their own conclusions, thanks for contributing.
