I knew Eva Braun page 2 by ric Gustafson


It was an October evening in 1929 and Eva Braun was busy working in Hoffmann's photo studio. It was closing time. Just then, a gentleman entered the shop. Hoffmann and the stranger began to converse as if they were old friends. Eva had climbed a ladder to reach some files. She noticed the stranger was wearing an overcoat and had a big felt hat in his hand. She could sense that the stranger was admiring her legs. She came down from the ladder. Hoffmann introduced his friend as ' Herr Wolf'.
Hoffmann asked Eva to develop, print and enlarge thousands of pictures of Herr Wolf. Heinrich Hoffmann joined the Nazi Party in 1920 and was four years older than Adolf Hitler. He met Hitler in 1919 and started a relationship. Hitler frequently visited Hoffmann's family including his wife Lelly and their children Henriette and Heinrich. His wife died in 1928 but stayed loyal to Hitler.
In 1929 when Hitler met Eva Braun, he was already well known in Munich and working hard for the party. Eva was not interested in politics. She noticed that Hitler was attractive with a gaze that was mesmerizing.
For a seventeen year old girl from Munich, Adolf Hitler radiated magnetism.
