The Soul Mate of Adolf Hitler

Eva Braun was the longtime companion of Adolf Hitler and for less than 40 hours, his wife. On 29 April 1945, she married Hitler during a brief civil ceremony: she was 33 and he 56. Less than 40 hours later, she committed suicide by cyanide poisoning. The German public was wholly unaware of Braun until after her death.

Twenty-two pages of Eva Braun's 1935 diary were found after the war. They are included here to show her state of mind and Hitler's attitude toward her in the early stages of their relationship.
