It was only after her death that Eva Braun entered the public eye in Germany. Together with Adolf Hitler, on April 30th, 1945 she took her life in the bunker beneath the New Reich Chancellery in Berlin. The day before, the dictator had married Braun, his mistress for many years. Kept apart from the community at large, Eva Braun spent most of her time in Munich or at Hitler’s Berghof residence in the Alps. After the war, Albert Speer, Adolf Hitler’s former architect, described Braun as one of the “disappointments of history”. The first scientific biography by Heike Görtmaker seeks to revise the image of the blond and apolitical dummy by the Führer’s side.
According to the biographer, behind Braun’s exaggerated happiness was a woman who was extremely resolute and strove with incredible toughness to reach her goals – through to the last resort: death.
For this documentary, author Michael Kloft engaged in detailed discussions with Heike Görtmaker and evaluated the extensive number of private films made by Eva Braun and the countless photo albums she compiled.

  1. Eva Braun had two sisters, Ilse and Margarete, nicknamed Gretl. Ilse was very skeptical about National Socialism. She kept as far as possible away from Hitler's surroundings and rarely visited her sister on the Obersalzberg. Over the years, she accused Eva of becoming more and more arrogant and superficial.

    Gretl belonged to Eva's constant circle at the Berghof; on June 3, 1944, she married the aspiring SS officer Hermann Fegelein (1906–1945), a liaison officer of Heinrich Himmler. Fegelein tried to escape in April 1945 but was captured. Since Hitler suspected him of being connected to Himmler's previous offer to surrender to the Allies, he had him shot on April 29, 1945 in the courtyard of the New Reich Chancellery. Even Eve could not stop the dictator. She initially championed her brother-in-law, but ended her efforts when she discovered that Fegelein had stolen her jewels and cheated on his pregnant wife. Gretl Fegelein gave birth to a daughter on May 5, 1945, whom she named "Eva" in memory of her sister.

  2. I don’t think she ever had sinister intentions or even fully knew or understood most of what was going on with the war. She just seemed to have an innocent bubbly personality. She seemed to be a lot like many young girls around her age. In that respect I do feel sorry for her and the situation she ended up finding herself in at the end. All she really ever wanted was his attention it seems.

  3. It's disturbing to see them laughing and carrying on while endless numbers of fellow human beings are exterminated and untold numbers of people suffered because of war. I don't feel any sympathy for Eva because she and the others knew what was going on and she and the others chose to be oblivious to it 😡

  4. I don’t know if you could call it loyalty she had a sugar daddy and at the end the reality was quite clear to her there was nowhere in the world for her to go that she wouldn’t be lit on fire beaten to death or have the most horrendous things happened to her as she had been the mistress……
