Hitler's Fiancee

HITLER is engaged-and may even be secretly married to a German girl whom he has installed in a part of his private Buite in his official Berlin residence, the Chancellery on the famous Wilhelmstrasse,

These statements are made in an authoritative article in the "Saturday Evening Post," one of the most conser- vative magazines in America. An introduction to the article states that it is based on "information from sources inside Germany which we have always found to be reli- able”

The girl is named. She is Eva (or Evi) Helen Braun, 28- years-old fair-haired girl from Munich in Bavaria.

The romance is known, it is added, to several of the highest Nazi officials, some of whom believe Hitler and his Fraulein are married.:

The girl is said to be a typical German hausfrau and con- ducts herself in the Chancellery just as if she had been acknow- ledged publicly as the wife of Germany's dictator.

The romance started ten years ago when the girl, who is the daughter of a Munich professor, Dr. Joseph Braun, met Hitler through one of his most ardent supporters, a photographer named Heinrich Hoffmann.

Fraulein Braim became Hoffmann's assistant and soon was a member of the inner circle of Hitler's worshippers.

During the early days of her friendship with Hitler the strictest rules of German etiquette were observed. She was nl- ways chaperoned by Frau Himmler or the wife of some other Nazi leader.

Hitler enjoyed having her in his entourage. She remained always Bear him, ready to divert him with talk and discussion on anything and everything except politics.

When the Nazis finally achieved undisputed power over Germany, one of Hitler's first actions was to inke a house for Fraulein Braun in a fashionable district of Munich.

As time passed it became accepted among the inner Nazf circle that Fraulein Braun was betrothed to Hitler.

When they were together in Hitler's mountain retreat among their Intimate friends at Berchtesgaden he would hold her hand openly. After a while she began to refer to him as her fiance.

Hitler gave her many valuable gifts of jewellery which, without ostentation, she wears occasionally.

Ho also built for her a small house on land adjoining his own great estate at Berchtesgaden.

When Hitler entered Vienna in March 1938, in the procession Eva was sitting in a car containing the wives of the other Nazi leaders.

Last year Professor Braun and his wife began to get restless about the nasociation, since Hitler parently seemed content to let the engagement run on Indefinitely.

Later they told their daughter | that her good name was being com- promised, They urged her to ask Hitler to fix a date for the wedding.

After the Munich Agreement, in September of last year. Hitler be- gan to meet many types of polished and sophisticated German society. women, and Eva faded into the background.

One night she attempted to com- mit auicide by taking an overdose of aleeping tablets. It was only a half-hearted attempt. but it served its-purpose.-—-—~

Hitler visited her several times ****** | during her convalescence, states the

article, and was warmly affectionate,

It was during the fateful days at Salzburg Inst August, when Hitler

met Count Ciano, the Italian Foreign Minister, that he is belleved to have come to a decision to regulariae Fraulein Braun's position.

Did he agree to a secret wedding? If there was a wedding, it re- main a secret. But, whatever his decision, he acted on it quickly.

As soon as he returned from Salzburg he ordered that part of his -personal suite at the Chancellery should be prepared for Eva's exclusive

use.

She moved in at once, and is still there.
