Eva Braun-German photographer, Adolf Hitler’s last mistress since 1932 and his wife for the last 40 hours of her life. She committed suicide with him in a Berlin bunker.
According to her sister, Eva Braun was not a historical figure. No one would have been interested in her if she had not married Hitler and died with him. Because Eva Braun had no interest in politics, she did not try to influence Hitler at all.

This picture was taken in 1942 at Berghof, Hitler’s Alpine residence. The residence was guarded by an SS team, and in 1944 there were almost 2,000 men in the guard unit.
This magnificent residence was completely destroyed in a bombing raid on 25 April 1945, shortly before the suicide of Hitler and Eva Braun. The ruins of the Berghof lasted until 1952. The Bavarian government ordered their final demolition on 30 April 1952.
