Description

In this groundbreaking biography of Eva Braun, German historian Heike W. Görtemaker goes in to the amazingly forgotten historic reality about Adolf Hitler’s mistress. Significantly more than simply the blonde of well-known motto, Eva Braun was a capricious but uncompromising, very faithful friend to Hitler; theirs was a connection that flew in the facial skin of the Führer’s proclamations that Germany was his only woman. Görtemaker offers a picture of Hitler and Braun’s existence jointly with unnerving quotidian detail—Braun find the films tested at their mountaintop escape (propaganda, obviously); he imagined going with her to Linz one evening after relinquishing his authority to a newer man—while weaving their individual connection through the material of one of history’s many disastrous routines.
