Life of Eva Braun Eva Braun was one of Hitler’s strongest supporters and played an interesting part in Hitler’s life. Eva and Hitler had a mysterious relationship. She played an important role in his inner circle and as a loyal supporter. In the end, what was behind their suicides? Little information is known about Eva’s childhood. Hitler and Eva meet in Munich in 1929 when she was a model and assistant to Hitler’s personal photographer. She was 17 years old when they met. About two years later they started to see each other more and more. They were rarely seen together in public and didn’t get married until the last 40 hours of their lives. The article Eva Braun says: “She entered his household in 1936, although their relationship was kept secret” (P.1). Many people believe that the relationship was just for show, but Hitler’s long time secretary, Christa Schroeder, admitted in an interrogation in 1945 that Hitler had treated Braun as his wife. …show more content…
Although she was not a Nazi, she supported Hitler’s views and beliefs. According to Heike G. Görtemaker, a German historian and author, he states in, She Was Not A Passive Bystander, that Eva became a well known person in Hitler’s inner circle. “But the sources available now show that Eva Braun has to be seen as part of Hitler's inner circle and not apart from it. Her life should not be called lost or tragic. She wanted to be at Hitler's side, and fought very hard, with all means, to achieve that position” (P.
When Hitler came into her life, Riefenstahl was already an accomplished actress and director. Like many Germans living in economic despair at the time, she found the Fuhrer charismatic and praised his efforts to build National Socialism, by her own words unaware of his ultimate intentions. Although Riefenstahl denied all accusations, connections with the inner circle of the Nazi Party meant she was often accused of having a romantic or sexual relationship with Hitler. Riefenstahl held that her relationship with him was purely professional. (Source 4)
“Forgive your worst enemies and forgive everyone who has hurt you- it will heal your soul and set you free” ( Eva, A Tribute, page 1). Eva Mozes Kor is the prime example of forgiving people considering her horrific life she experienced starting at the young age of ten. She has always been a strong, independent woman and has proved it when she was young, while she was enduring the horrors of the Holocaust, and even after being liberated.

Some believe that as Eva was in Hitler’s closest circle that she was not a passive bystander but an avid supporter of the Nazi party, even though she was not officially a member. It can be said that Eva fought extremely hard to be by Hitler’s side, she even attempted suicide twice which was thought to be an act to show her devotion to Hitler. Eva, as the photographer, took many pictures and films of Hitler at the Berghof (Hitler’s home near Berchtesgaden) showing him being a kind family man, most of which were sold to Hitler’s own photography Heinrich Hoffman. It can’t be know for certain whether Eva participated in the attempted genocide of the Jewish and other peoples however it’s clear that she

Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun never shared an intimate moment together or so it seems (Nobody knew Hitler’s true sexuality so this may of had an impact)(3).Their relationship was strictly domestic and relaxatory rather than the usual erotic relationship that many couples share today(9). They were merely close friends that thrived off of each others joy and companionship in times of need(3). Another part of their relationship that was different than most is that it was completely private. Hitler and Eva rarely appeared in public together(9). Even if they did, they would not sit together or give any evidence that they were even acquaintances of one another(8). This was hard on Eva, as she longed for his attention. She would often cry when he was not around and it was apparent that he had a significant impact on her mood. She even went to lengths as trying to take her own life at one point in time because she did not think she would ever be good enough for him(3). This proved to change the views that Hitler had on the relationship, as it started to drastically change(8). Soon after the incident they moved in together and Eva started to arrange gatherings for Hitler’s closest friends otherwise known as his “inner circle”. It was not long after that they started to live together that they were married. It was in April of 1945 in Berlin where the ceremony happened, tragically a day before both of their deaths. Although they were close companions for many years, Eva never did

How the suicide exactly took place, who has done what thereafter, there are different statements of those involved at that time. One thing is certain: After Hitler had retired to his study with Eva Braun, Reichsleiter Martin Bormann, Goebbels, Adjutant Günsche, Reich Youth Leader Artur Axmann, and several others were waiting in the chambers. At 15.30 they heard a shot from Hitler's room, it was not until more than 10 minutes had passed that is said someone dared to enter the room. They were witness to the bitten poison capsules on the ground. Hitler must have shot himself in the head simultaneously to taking in the poison. Eva Braun was found sitting, collapsed in to herself, next to him.
During the rise of power of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party 's in the 1930 's, Leni Riefenstahl became a household name as a film director, her claim to fame was putting a public face to Hitler. During this time period, it was very rare for the public to know what their leader looked like, and with this film it allowed many of the Germans to finally get to see who they elected into power.

In order to achieve this goal, Hitler needed the support of all of the German citizens. Which lead to Hitler commissioning, Leni Riefenstahl to direct a film that would later be dubbed the
