From one of Germany’s leading young historians; the first comprehensive biography of Eva Braun; Hitler’s devoted mistress; finally wife; and the hidden First Lady of the Third Reich. In this groundbreaking biography of Eva Braun; German historian Heike Görtemaker reveals Hitler’s mistress as more than just a vapid blonde whose concerns never extended beyond her vanity table. Twenty-three years his junior; Braun first met Hitler when she took a position as an assistant to his personal photographer. Capricious; but uncompromising and fiercely loyal—she married Hitler two days before committing suicide with him in Berlin in 1945—her identity was kept secret by the Third Reich until the final days of the war. Through exhaustive research; newly discovered documentation; and anecdotal accounts; Görtemaker turns preconceptions about Eva Braun and Hitler on their head; and builds a portrait of the little-known Hitler far from the public eye.
