She was wearing a dress with a rose corsage. There was a broken phial of cyanide, which had fallen on the ground. The air in the room reeked of acid fumes and cyanide, which smells like almonds. Hitler had shot himself in the right temple with his 7.65 mm caliber Walther pistol. He was sitting at the right end of the sofa and was wearing a freshly pressed uniform with his Iron Cross pinned to it.
All of these (Singer, Model, Actress). Eva would listen to American music, go to the movies, and sing all the time. She seemed to be concerned with nothing but herself. Her parents finally put her in a convent school. She was eventually thrown out for climbing the gates at night to drink with the local boys.
Photographer's assistant. Eva was the secretaty of Herr Hoffmann, one of Hitlers photographers. Later in the war Hitler had Hoffmann sent to the Russian front because he had negatives of some early Hitler photos which were not very flattering. Hoffmann survived, and made it home after the war.

1932. Hitler moved Eva into a fancy Munich apartment soon after the suicide of his niece, Geli, with whom he had been in love with.

They did not spend much time together as a couple after that until Eva moved into the Berlin bunker at the end of the war.

Eva made sure she was safe, out of the way of advancing Russians. Hermann, still on duty at the bunker, disappeared one day. Hitler sent out troops to find him and bring him back. He was found in bed with one of his girlfriends. On the table next to them was a bag full of gold, silver, and American money. Eva pleaded for his life to no avail. Hitler had him shot behind the bunker. Gretle survived the war, had a daughter, and never uttered the name of Hermann again.
Magda Goebbels. Magda was the wife of Josef Goebbels. Hitler used her throughout the Third Reich as a model of the perfect German wife and mother. She stood in as a kind of "First Lady" many times when Hitler needed her. Eva hated the fact that Magda was doing what she felt was her job, but Hitler just brushed aside her fears. Magda killed her 6 children and herself at the end of the war. She was quoted as saying that a world without Hitler wasn't worth living in.
