Ahoy , very good FarmBoy, then Penny has dropped for me.
Eva Braun AKA Eva Anna Paula Hitler (
née Braun; 6 February 1912 – 30 April 1945) was the longtime companion of
Adolf Hitler and, for less than 40 hours, his wife. Braun met Hitler in
Munich when she was 17 years old, while she was working as an assistant and model for his personal photographer, and began seeing him often about two years later. She attempted suicide twice during their early relationship. By 1936, she was a part of his household at the
Berghof near
Berchtesgaden and lived a sheltered life throughout
World War II. Braun was a photographer, and many of the surviving colour photographs and films of Hitler were taken by her. She was a key figure within Hitler's inner social circle, but did not attend public events with him until mid-1944, when her sister
Gretl married
Hermann Fegelein, the SS liaison officer on his staff.
