In this groundbreaking biography of Eva Braun, German historian Heike B. G?rtemaker delves into the startlingly neglected historical truth about Adolf Hitlers mistress. More than just the vapid blonde of popular clich?, Eva Braun was a capricious but uncompromising, fiercely loyal companion to Hitler; theirs was a relationship that flew in the face of the F?hrers proclamations that Germany was his only bride. G?rtemaker paints a portrait of Hitler and Brauns life together with unnerving quotidian detailBraun chose the movies screened at their mountaintop retreat (propaganda, of course); he dreamed of retiring with her to Linz one day after relinquishing his leadership to a younger manwhile weaving their personal relationship throughout the fabric of one of historys most devastating regimes. Though Braun gradually gained an unrivaled power within Hitlers inner circle, her identity was kept a secret during the Third Reich, until the final days of the war. Faithful to the end, Braun committed suicide with Hitler in 1945, two days after their marriage. Through exhaustive research, newly discovered documentation, and anecdotal accounts, G?rtemaker has meticulously built a surprising portrait of Hitlers bourgeois existence outside of the public eye. Though Eva Braun had no role in Hitlers policies, she was never as banal as she was previously painted; she was privy to his thoughts, ruled life within his entourage, and held his trust. As horrifying as it is astonishing, Eva Braun will undoubtedly be referenced in all future accounts of this period.
