I knew Eva Braun.

Schellingstrasse runs east and west through the heart of Munich. There is an area called the Pinakothek. This area has art galleries and book shops. This area catered mostly to nearby university students. A camera shop in this area was called Photo Hoffmann. Hoffmann had hired a seventeen year old girl named Eva Braun. In October of 1929, an important visitor came into the shop.
Heinrich Hoffmann recognized Adolf Hitler's potential as a political leader. In 1922, he became Hitler's official photographer. Over two decades, he took two and a half million photographs of Hitler.
Eva Braun was given her first camera at the age of thirteen. She took pictures of herself and her family. Hoffmann's shop was only two train stops from her parents flat. She started as a junior assistant in the studio and darkroom. She served behind the counter and typed invoices.
An important visitor came to the shop in October of 1929.
