Women of Adolf Hitler (12 photos)

Even though today he is considered the embodiment of absolute evil, Adolf Hitler had his own romantic stories. Over the course of his life, he was attracted (or so the rumors say) to several women. The most famous among them, of course, was his long-suffering mistress, who remained so for a long time and barely spent a day in the status of his wife, Eva Braun (pictured), who committed suicide with him shortly after the wedding. But – she was just one of Adolf Hitler’s women...

1. In the photo - Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun on their wedding day, which became the day of their death.

2. Mitzi Reiter: early love. Maria "Mitzi" Reiter was sixteen years old when she began a relationship with thirty-seven-year-old Hitler, who began to notice her in 1926. Adolf Hitler promised her marriage and “fair-haired children,” but later, citing the fact that he had a life mission that he must first complete. In despair from his constant inattention to her, she tried to hang herself, but survived and eventually became the wife of an SS officer. Hitler's sister Paula later said that Reiter was the only person who could have stopped Hitler from turning into a monster.

3. Geli Raubal, Hitler's niece. According to existing evidence, Hitler's greatest love was incestuous. He was in love with Angela "Geli" Raubal, the daughter of his half-sister. Supposedly, their relationship began when she was seventeen years old. Hitler was a domineering uncle and a domineering lover; in fact, he kept her locked up in his apartment in Munich or in a villa he owned near Berchtesgaden. Many believe that Raubal never responded to his feelings.

4. The love of Hitler's life. In 1931, at the age of 23, Raubal was found dead in a Hitler-owned apartment in Munich with a gunshot wound to the chest. Her death was declared a suicide, but many believe that the future German dictator may have killed her as a result of an argument caused by her plan to move to Vienna. The bullet was fired from Hitler's personal Walther. Researchers believe that after Raubal's death, Hitler became much tougher and no longer allowed people to get as close to him as he had with Raubal. “It was this death that planted the seeds of inhumanity in his soul,” Hitler’s personal photographer later mentioned in his memoirs.

5. Erna Hanfstaengl: sister of Hitler's friend. After the failed Beer Hall Putsch in 1923, Hitler was rumored to have had a brief affair with Erna Hanfstaengl, the older sister of his friend Ernst Hanfstaengl. Other sources, however, claim that she did not take Hitler’s rather clumsy advances seriously at all. Pictured is Hitler, his personal pilot and Ernst Hanfstaengl (right) during the election campaign in 1930.

6. Renata Muller - the Aryan ideal. Increasingly popular with the Nazis was the German actress Renata Müller, whom they called the ideal Aryan woman and who was a worthy replacement for the non-Nazi supporter Marlene Dietrich, who moved to Hollywood. However, the actress was not eager to star in films promoting Nazism. Rumor has it that she was under pressure to break up with her Jewish lover.

7. Random masochistic relationship. In 1937, Müller fell from a hotel window - it is unknown whether it was an accident, suicide or murder. She was thirty-one years old. According to German director Adolf Zeissler, Müller admitted to him that she had a short-term love affair with Hitler. The German dictator, she said, writhed on the floor at her feet, demanding that she beat him - only this caused him sexual arousal. Her flight from the window took place a few days after that. Eyewitnesses claim that immediately before this, Gestapo agents entered the hotel building from which the actress fell from the window.

8. Inga Ley – another suicide. Hitler was a great admirer of Inga Ley, the wife of one of the Nazi Party officials, Robber Ley. Rumors were spreading across Germany that Hitler and Inga Ley had an affair. Again, it was rumored that Hitler had a nude portrait of Ley that hung in the living room of one of his apartments. However, there is no irrefutable evidence of the existence of a sexual relationship between them. Leigh committed suicide in 1942, possibly due to depression caused by drug use, which

m she became addicted due to difficult childbirth.

9. Unity Mitford - English Fuhrer Rose. English socialite Unity Mitford moved to Munich in the mid-1930s and quickly entered Hitler's social circle. Her middle name was "Valkyrie" and Hitler was crazy about Norse myths. He would later call her "the ideal example of an Aryan woman."

10. Eve's rival. Eva Braun was beside herself with jealousy because of the close relationship between Hitler and Unity Mitford. “She is known as the Valkyrie and looks the part, especially her legs. I, the mistress of the greatest man in Germany and the whole world, have to put up with the fact that everyone laughs at me,” Eva Braun wrote in her diary. Hitler began to pay more attention to her after she attempted suicide. Pictured is Unity Mitford (left) with her sisters, 1932.

11. Romantic betrayal. When Britain declared war on Germany, Mitford was so upset that she shot herself in the temple from a pearl-handled pistol that had been given to her by Hitler. She survived and returned to England, but never fully recovered. In 1948, she died due to complications caused by a bullet that was never removed and lodged too deeply in her head.

12. Mother of Adolf Hitler's child? In 2007, an article appeared in the English magazine The New Statesman alleging that Mitford was pregnant with Hitler's child and gave birth to the child in a hospital in Britain after her return there. This child, according to the author of the article, was given to foster parents.
