A Few Facts of Adolf’s life

A Few Facts of Adolf’s life

The terror during his years of power can be best said in his own words: “… Cruelty impresses, people want to be afraid of something. They want someone to whom they can submit with a shudder, the masses need that. They need something to dread…”

ADOLF………..

Adolf Hitler, a name that is enough to express the literal meaning of cruelty.

But this man was also dangled in the sound chains of love with Eva Braun, the only woman to have figured in Hitler’s life. She stood by him through thick and thin right till the end.

Eva Braun was born the middle of three sisters into a Catholic family on 6 February 1912. She was educated at a lyceum, then for one year at a business school in a convent where she had average grades and a talent for athletics.

Eva Braun, at 17, met Adolf Hitler the first time when she was working in Munich in 1929 as the assistant of Hitler's personal photographer Heinrich Hoffmann. From the moment Hitler walked into the shop, she was in love.

In a letter to her sister Gretl Eva Braun later wrote about the meeting.

Hitler soon became attracted to the young woman and began showing little favors to her.

In 1931 the 19-year-old Eva wrote a letter to the Adolf Hitler expressing her views on their friendship.

Eva Braun soon agreed to follow Hitler. Their attraction was immediate, and over the objection of her lower-middle-class Bavarian parents, she continued the relation.

But Adolf Hitler showed only intermittent interest in Eva and she made two suicide attempts in August 1932 and in May 1935.

After Braun's recovery, Hitler became more committed to her and arranged for the substantial royalties from widely published and popular photographs of him taken by Hoffmann's photo studio to pay for a villa in Wasserburgerstrasse, a Munich suburb. This income also provided her with a Mercedes, a chauffeur and a maid.

Eva Braun spent much time exercising, brooding, and reading novelettes. Eva Braun had spent most of her life waiting for Adolf Hitler and she had agreed to share his fate.

On April 15, 1945, Braun travelled by car from Munich to Berlin to be with Hitler at the Fuhrerbunker. Hitler ordered her to return to Munich. She refused. "Do you think," she reportedly said, "I will let you die alone?"
From our first meeting on, I have promised myself to follow you wherever you go, even to death. You know that I live only for your love.
As a reward for her loyalty Hitler finally gave way and on the last day of his life married her.

They got married in the early hours of April 29, 1945, as a crowning award for her loyalty to the end. The marriage document survived. Goebbels and Bormann signed as witnesses.

Adolf Hitler in order to escape the disgrace of deposition or capitulation - choose death. Braun and Hitler committed suicide together on 30 April 1945 at around 3:30 p.m. The occupants of the bunker heard a gunshot and the bodies were soon discovered. She had bitten onto a cyanide capsule and Hitler used a combination method, shooting himself in the right temple immediately after biting a cyanide capsule. Braun was 33 years old when she died. Their corpses were burned in the Reich Chancellery garden just outside the bunker's emergency exit.

This was the end of a great love story but the man Adolf Hitler, a legend by himself was responsible for the death of millions of people, will go down in the annals of history forever.
