On today’s date, 29 April 1945, Adolf Hitler marries Eva Braun in the Führerbunker in Berlin.
The couple commits suicide the following day.

Hitler talked to Eva, teased her about her dogs, which he said were nothing but a couple of dusting brushes, whereupon she replied that Blondi wasn’t a dog at all but a calf.

It was at an occasion of this kind that I first saw Eva Braun and was introduced to her.
She was very well dressed and groomed, and I noticed her natural, unaffected manner. She wasn’t at all the kind of ideal German girl you saw on recruiting posters for the BDM or in women’s magazines. Her carefully done hair was bleached, and her pretty face was made up - quite heavily but in very good taste.
