Chapter 15: Hitler’s personal life - pre-WW2

Eva Braun Eva Braun met Hitler when she was just 17 years of age, a convent-educated shop-girl working for Hitler’s

official photographer. While, Hitler was a 40 year old aspiring politician who could not have been less suited for her.

Hitler had tickets to the opera, she accepted, and so began a tortured 12-year relationship that involved several suicide attempts and led Hitler’s chauffeur, Erich Kempka, to label her “the unhappiest woman in Germany.”

From Eva’s letters, we know that her parents disapproved, and that Hitler would frequently ignore her in public, merely passing her an envelope of money at the end of the evening. Even when she was finally allotted a room in the Berlin Chancellery, she was forced to use a back entrance in case anybody saw her.

Hitler and his henchmen tried their hardest to keep Eva out of the spotlight, and forbade any photo of her to be published, as they were keen to project the idea to the

German people that Hitler was “married to Germany”, in this sense Hitler showed absolute devotion to the cause that he held so dear; making something of himself. Women from all around Germany would queue up at his feet just to admire him, while he was married to Germany he was a messianic, admirable leader who could do no wrong.

However, Eva ensured the opposite. She early on adopted the idea of cine-film and made endless home movies. She loved attention and as such was very much like Hitler, and yet so the opposite of what he wanted her to be, he had to restrain her if he wanted this allegiance to country image to be projected for himself.

One for Eva’s more astonishing ambitions was to star one day in a “bio-pic” of her life, with the man she liked to call “wolf.”

There were also suspicions of Hitler’s homosexuality since the early 1920s. It was repeated in Munich newspapers and reinforced by his close relationship with Ernst Röhm, the homosexual head of the Sturmabteilung, the Nazi party militia.

There is good reason to believe that Hitler did have suppressed homosexual tendencies, yet his interest in women is also well-attested. He would invite actresses back to his apartment for “private performances.” One actress, Renata Müller, spread rumours about Hitler’s alleged proclivity for self-abasement, with suggestions

that he knelt at her feet and asked her to lick him. When she fell to her death in 1937, many questioned the verdict of suicide.

The Berghof By 1933, Hitler had purchased Haus Wachenfeld with funds he received from the sale of his political manifesto Mein Kampf. The small chalet-style building was refurbished and expanded greatly during 1935-36 by architect Alois Degano, when it was renamed the Berghof.

A large terrace was built and featured big, colourful, resort-style canvas umbrellas. The entrance hall was filled with a curious display of cactus plants. The dining room was panelled with very cosy cembra pine. Hitler’s large study had a telephone switchboard room. The

library contained books on history, painting, architecture and music.
