Hitler's wife is not an easy role. Not everyone could play it. However, one girl succeeded. For the sake of her feelings, Hitler's common-law wife was ready to put up with everything, turn a blind eye to everything that could interfere with her husband's happiness.
When she was 17 years old, she went to a fortune teller to tell her about her fate. The woman predicted that the whole world would soon be talking about her and her love. Hitler's future wife listened to this prediction with bated breath. She dreamed about it! Do you know the name of Hitler's wife? Eva Braun - that's who managed to win the heart of the Fuhrer.
Eve's origin, childhood
Eva was born in Munich on February 6, 1912. In an ordinary German family, Hitler's future wife Eva Braun grew up, whose biography turned out to be so atypical. She was the second child. Friedrich Braun, her father, worked as a teacher, and Franziska, the girl's mother, worked as a dressmaker. Friedrich raised his three daughters in the strict traditions of Christianity. He did not allow them liberties and did not really indulge in affection and attention.
Eva graduated from the monastery school, and then the Munich Lyceum. After that sheI started working in a photography studio. Friedrich Braun continued to control his matured daughters. Without his permission, they were forbidden to make phone calls, leave the house or meet friends. Frederick saw their future quite definitely. They should get married, have children and start a respectable family life.
Working in a photo studio
However, romantic Eva, a great lover of women's novels and movies, did not dream of such a life at all. She wanted to make it beautiful, bright, filled with events and love. In a sense, Hitler's future wife, Eva Braun, achieved her goal. Biography, photos and details of her romance with Adolf are still being discussed by many.
The photo studio where Eva worked was owned by a fan of the Nazi Party. This man was the personal photographer of Adolf Hitler, the rising star. Eva did not know anything about this party or its leader. The girl was not at all interested in politics. In 1929, Hitler himself appeared in the studio. He needed to take campaign photos.
Meet Hitler
The first thing that caught Adolf's eyes when he entered was the slender legs of the girl who was standing on the stepladder. Hitler spoke to her without hiding his sympathy. This enigmatic man captivated Eva Braun with his exquisite compliments, stories from social life, as well as the halo of power and strength that surrounded him.
Adolf knew how to please women, charm them, and not only them. A little later, he managed to conquer many people with his charm. They believed in himtruly amazing ideas. Is it any wonder that the naive girl Eva Braun succumbed to the madness that subsequently swept the whole of Germany?
The girl, of course, was flattered by the attention of such a famous person. She was proud of his admiration. Adolf liked Eve for her naturalness, spontaneity and youth. It was also important for him that it was Hitler's future wife Eva Braun who had Aryan blood. Her nationality was carefully checked by Adolf's assistants.
By the way, quite recently there was a different opinion about the nationality of Eva thanks to the DNA analysis. He was subjected to hair from the comb of this woman, found in the Alpine residence of the Fuhrer in a box on which was written the name of Hitler's wife, or rather, his initials (E. V.). Scientists have found that Brown's DNA contains a mutation that is typical for Ashkenazi Jews. If Hitler found out about this, he would probably be horrified.
Features of the relationship between Hitler and Eva
Adolf was 23 years older than his beloved, and it was he who always set the tone in their relationship. When Hitler and Brown began to meet (go to theaters and cinemas, go on picnics, etc.), Adolf determined the frequency, duration and place of meetings. He had very little time left for Eva, because this person always had a political career in the first place. Hitler liked to say that Germany was his bride.
However, Adolf found time to meet other women. He appeared with his companions in the light and did not really try to hide this fact from Eve. Not oncewomen captivated by his demonic charms, who failed to achieve reciprocity, attempted to commit suicide. For example, Hitler's niece, whom Adolf showed signs of attention, shot herself after a quarrel with him. This man already in his youth sowed destruction and death around him.
Eva agreed with the rules of the game imposed on her by Hitler. She decided on this because the feeling of this woman was deep and strong. In addition, Eva saw in Hitler the most suitable party for herself. Her character was not sickened by a subordinate position. However, the girl still suffered, and sometimes Eve's torment became simply unbearable.
Why did Hitler hide his beloved
When Hitler disappeared somewhere for several months, the woman repeatedly tried to commit suicide. For some reason, it did not occur to her to simply part with Adolf, thereby ending this painful relationship. At Hitler's request, their relationship was strictly conspiratorial. Adolf wanted no one to know about their relationship. He believed that otherwise his position in society was in danger. Hitler wanted to see himself as a legendary Fuhrer, the leader of the nation, devoid of all the weaknesses and feelings inherent in man.
How did Eve's parents feel about her relationship with Adolf
Eva's parents, especially her father, believed that the girl made a mistake by choosing the wrong person. They reproached Eva for living "in sin" with Hitler. This strengthened the desire, natural for a girl, to become a legal wife. But Adolf andI didn't want to think about marriage.
Moving to the Berghof
Unable to break off relations with such a selfish and cold lover, the girl for a long time retained the belief that one day she would become Frau Hitler. Eva Braun adopted the lifestyle and views of Adolf.
As soon as Hitler became Chancellor of Germany, he immediately made Eva his secretary. The girl moved to the Berghof, his Alpine residence. In this secluded place, she became, on the one hand, the hostess, but on the other, a prisoner hidden from prying eyes. This is the double role that Hitler's wife had to play. The photo below is one of the few joint images of Adolf and Eva.
Eve was allowed to appear in society only in the presence of people whom Hitler considered the closest. When famous politicians and other high-ranking guests came to the Berghof, Eva had to hide from them. Brown and Hitler lived in different apartments. Their rooms were connected by a common corridor. Only the Fuhrer decided when he needed the presence of Eva. Hitler's civil wife Eva Braun could not call his apartment on the internal telephone. I had to wait for calls from Adolf.
Eve's Entertainment
The girl had her own fun. Eva, Hitler's wife, had a good time, inviting friends and sisters to parties or going shopping. In material terms, the Fuhrer did not limit his beloved - she could buy whatever her heart desires.
Eve really enjoyed buying new clothes, knick-knacks and jewelry. Sometimes she even flew to Austria and Italy for shopping. Eva enjoyed her role as an inveterate fashionista. She could change clothes six times a day. Of course, what else could she do?..
Photography was another passion of Brown. The girl dreamed that the newsreels she made, in which she captured Hitler's daily life, would become the basis of a biopic about him, filmed in Hollywood. Eva Braun still remembered her desire to become a film actress. Therefore, she also dreamed that she would play herself in this film: the beautiful beloved of a great man.
Gymnastics was another passion of this girl. Hitler's wife Eva Braun brought her figure to perfection with daily exercises. Photos and newsreels of those years captured her in complex acrobatic poses. The girl liked to do gymnastics against the backdrop of Alpine landscapes.
The best time for Eva
The best time for Eve was the late 1930s. Her man was the leader of a great people, and very soon - the girl did not doubt it - the whole world would fall at his feet. Eva Braun shared the triumph with Hitler, but was still in the shadows. Adolf never appeared in public with Eve. He wanted no one to know the name of Hitler's wife. It was as if she did not exist, not only for the general public, but even for most of his associates.
Carrot and stick tactics
Narcissistic, mentally unstable Hitler stuck to time-tested tactics"carrot and stick" in a relationship with his beloved. If he believed that the girl was behaving too freely, then he could yell at Eve, humiliate her even in front of strangers. When it seemed to Hitler that he had gone too far, he began to show her signs of attention and fawn. Hitler was sure that this girl was completely in his power.
Life in a fantasy world
Eva was an observant and intelligent woman, but at the same time aloof and dreamy. During her life with Hitler, she learned enough about what is happening in the world in order to understand: she does not want to know anything more. The girl learned not to understand and not to hear. Hitler's common-law wife, like the Fuhrer, tried with all her might to live in a prosperous fictional world. Adolf, who doomed many people to a painful death, himself tried to fence himself off from the horrors inflicted by him. At home, he had a strict ban on the discussion of genocide and war. Hitler never visited concentration camps and did not personally participate in the killings and abuse provoked by him.
Beginning of the end
After the German troops were defeated at Stalingrad, the carefree atmosphere in the Berghof gradually began to change, despite the fact that Eva and all its inhabitants tried their best to pretend that everything was fine. During this time, the relationship between Brown and Hitler was closer than ever.
The Fuhrer, who failed for the first time in his life, needed support and consolation. eva isoshe tried with all her might to distract her lover from pessimistic thoughts. She did not want to know about the hundreds of thousands of people who were tortured on the orders of Adolf. She was only interested in his well-being and mood.
As before, the woman cherished the idea of becoming Hitler's legal wife and bearing children to him. She thought that now something would certainly change. However, the hopes of Eva Braun were again destroyed. Hitler did not want to hear about the child. He stated that the children of a genius have a very hard time in life.
Fall of Hitler, suicide of Eva and Adolf
When the allied troops approached Berlin, Adolf moved to the bunker, which was under the Reich Chancellery. And he decided to send his beloved to Munich, where it was safe. But for the first time, Eva disobeyed Hitler. The girl came to Berlin to share his fall with her lover, as she once shared the triumph.
April 29, 1945 Hitler finally made a formal proposal to Eva Braun. The woman who had been waiting for this for 16 years, of course, agreed. However, she was destined to become Frau Hitler for only one day. On April 30, 1945, after their wedding night, Hitler's wife and he himself committed suicide. Thus, the fortuneteller's prediction came true, but life made terrible adjustments to it … Today, many people know the name of Adolf Hitler's wife, but she paid for this fame with her life.
