Oh how I miss these high quality, well-written, well-produced, well-researched, thoroughly well-made documentaries. There is so much cash-in dross to wade through on TH-cam, everyone and his aunt trying to get people to watch their barely tolerable codswallop...and then you find these, The People's Profiles.

An absolute pleasure to watch, made by really talented, intelligent people.
The best youtube channel hands-down! Beautifully narrated, well written, exceptional production and footage. Masterpiece after masterpiece of documentary. Thank you.
The narration and how this story was told is perfection. I could have listened for hours. Supreme talent. Thank you for the work that went into this video.
When you mention the repercussions of people who study those who have done such severe acts in their lives, and how there is struggle to 'humanize' them, I could not be happier it was mentioned! I think this avoidance does humanity as a whole a disservice, because while perpetuating a 'monster' may seem more ideal, in fact I think telling of the 'monster's humanity' is more important, as it can explain HOW these 'monsters' managed to fool and control so many around them. So thank you for this.
I agree. I'm Jewish, and we've been taught that while they were monstrous, evil people, Hitler and his ilk were , in fact, just "somebody" at one point, and those who followed them were "somebody" as well. Humanizing Nazis and their supporters is a very delicate matter, but if we were to say "only monsters can do this", it can cause people to think "this will never happen again, because we'll know a monster when we'll see one", but we must always be prepared for another Hitler or Stalin or Pol Pot to rise again, because they were all, at some point, just someone's neighbor or classmate.
Those that do ‘evil’ never think they are the ones doing the ‘evil’. It’s important to understand them and their line of thinking that got them to where they were so others do not fall into that faulty line of thinking.
19:01 I don't believe that because I clearly remember watching another documentary about their relationship and Eva's maid, who was being interviewed, say that whenever he arrived unexpectedly at the Berghof while Eva was on her PERIOD, she would get medicine from her doctor to repress it so that you know, do some "stuff" with Hitler. People with MRKH don't have PERIODS due to a lack of a uterus. Thank you for reading!
I remember as we studied history when I was a child, I was sickened by Hitlers atrocities, but to discover there was a woman in his life, by his side, seemingly devoted to him ... that I could not fathom. Remember I was very young, back in the 70s when the role of males and females in a family differed compared to today, it was difficult to believe any human could do to others what he did, however a female in my mind was a nurturer, not someone that could be exposed to all that happened and stay with the individual committing the horrors he did, I simply could not understand it. Thank You for a well rounded view of Eva Braun, done in a straight forward, no drama style!
@@Deertracks123 There can only be two scenarios; either Eva Braun knew, or she didn't, period. She would have been well aware of his view on Jewish people at the very least, she would have known of their rights being stripped, as evident surrounding her elder sisters employment with the Jewish physician, she was a photographer to the Nazi party for how many years? I understand there is speaking in code, and perhaps women not being invited into the inner sanctum, however I simply cannot believe she never overheard any of Hitlers orders etc. I believe she was an immature, materialistic individual, that turned a blind eye, justified and made excuses for the things she may have seen and heard, to continue living the lifestyle she desired. There are still women today, married to powerful men doing dirty deeds (Albeit, not to Hitlers degree) that turn a blind eye to live the lifestyle they crave, it's nothing new really!
I will always believe that Eva Braun was "sly as a fox," and much more in-the-know than some others realize. Sensational biographical portrait, gentlemen.
It puzzles me the amount of women who threw themselves at Hitler, some committing suicide,his niece being one of them, and that got brushed under the carpet, I think Eva was a devious woman,who I’m sure would have got rid of anyone who posed a threat, I wonder how she got on with Mrs Goebbels? she loved and worshipped Hitler and his vision of the Aryan Race, sadly she killed all her poor children and then herself with Joseph, what a grip Hitler had on everyone madness pure madness.
I don't know... if she was sly, I think she kept it from Hitler as well. He seemed to keep her around because she never challenged him and solely existed to cheer him up. But we'll never truly know.
This is, without a doubt, the very best documentary channel doing biographies of historical and contemporary figures. Excellent narration, presentation, and choice of topics. 10/10 :-)
Braun certainly knew some horrific things were going on as the war deteriorated. It would be impossible to ignore that major cities in Germany were being bombed with horrific loss of life and property. And that Russians were getting closer to Berlin. But while most Germans were suffering and dying, Braun lived in a world of luxury and privilege. I think she selfishly and vainly wanted to enjoy those benefits for as long as she possibly could.
The apple really doesnt fall far from the tree. I just realized that Hitler was 23 years older than his wife Braun. A strange thing when you consider how much he despised his old father who was also 23 years older than his mother. I find it interesting as well that they both died on a couch
@@conniexo1996 she was a stupid, sophomoric, borderline. She wasn’t a Nazi. She was too vapid to have any political opinion whatsoever. And before you continue raging, I’m Jewish, so there is no Nazi apology here.
@@conniexo1996 nothing that this person said suggests anything you’re accusing them of saying. It’s like you simply read the facts they posted (she is often overlooked, and any historical account should be objective) and immediately had a total emotional response. I’m Jewish and if I can see her for what she likely was (a juvenile fashionista with the mind of a child, who likely had a serious personality disorder and was likely abused by her much older mass murdering partner) then surely you can at least consider that. Since there is overwhelming evidence that supports what I’m saying. But I’d HIGHLY recommend you not tell me how to feel about this period of human history.
This TH-cam channel is amazing. Most documentaries really overcomplicate things but this is so clear and I can take in infomation and understand it which makes it so much easier when Iam revising.
Wow what another brilliant History documentary not only just for History buffs, but so much interesting content on this interesting person. Not enough is explained and talked about with Eva Braun. Once again I thank the people's Profile for such a well gathered documentary. So much time and efficiency was put into this thank u
I really seriously appreciate you and your writers pointing out specific details are still in contention between historians. One major issue with tackier and cheaper channels seeking to purely entertain would rather present what sounds most interesting, ignore the rest and actively choose to avoid stating certain things might not be true and are still unknown. +1000 for not being a low brow trash channel that goes beyond a quick skin of a wikipedia page while most the rest are better left in the dust.
I learn so much from your channel. The time and effort put into these documentaries must be intense. I appreciate it and am in awe at everything you all do. Thank you so much. 😊
I have walked in her footsteps. My ex-husband is a native of Berlin, and took me on a tour of Der Reichtag and other sites within the area of the Battle of Berlin in those closing days of WWII. In all honesty, I believe she was a combination of both a knowing participant in the propaganda machine as a photographer, but also an innocent who was used, abused, and brainwashed. I also believed she was insanely smart, and an opportunist given her terrible early life. She was definitely a self sufficient a very capable and extremely complex paradox of a woman.
But she was guilty as well they lived the best days of war in the beginning but at the end Nazi Germany found a hat that fit them Russia saved Europe from evil 👿 they killed over 7 million Germans that’s why Germany are still angry George Soros said in a meeting he wanted to destroy Russia because they rapped his mother this was 1945 and now look how many died in Ukraine and Russians for a big lie
I think Eva was smarter than people give her credit for. She existed in that lions den of strong and evil personalities, all vying to be closer to the Fuhrer. Fantastic video! Thank you 🙏 ☮️💟
Interestingly, I heard from a different documentary that Eva's "cry for help" in the form of a failed suicide enraged Hitler, for he saw it as manipulative, considering Eva apparently knew (to some extent) about his relationship with Geli, and his feelings (Geli was said to be the only woman Hitler ever loved) for her, and she was deeply jealous. Upon rushing to Eva's side, he promptly told her to never do something like that again. I do believe it made him more perceptive to her admiration, and made him realize her value, therefore making him care for her. I also believe that he never forgot this manipulation (at least in his eyes) and it is one of the reasons why he never loved Eva. In my opinion, he held some affections for her, because she worshipped the ground he walked on, which stroked his fragile ego. He must have recognized this to an extent, which is why he found her valuable and an asset, she made him feel good. He used her to feel powerful, and he realized he needed her. Which made him soften up in regards to her, but I don't believe he ever fully loved her.
Hitler was a sociopath and sociopaths are incapable of love. Whatever " genuine love" he may have had for his niece, it was simply about control and perversion.
Excellent biography. As far as whether Eva Braun knew that she was a beneficiary of the atrocities that were going on in Germany (i.e., The Holocaust), there is no way in Hades she couldn’t have known. Just because she was apolitical, that doesn’t mean she was naive and stupid. After all, she was the assistant of Hitler’s photographic propagandist and took pictures in advance of that effort. And then she was frequently at the Berghof, were Hitler would have conversed with many of those in his inner circle. Undoubtedly she overheard not a few things they were discussing!
Hi Stehanie I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌹🌹🌹🌹
Thank you for this video. I am a “World War II novice historian” and I would like to thank you for putting this on TH-cam about Eva Braun. I was thinking about her the other day and wondering why I couldn’t find anything on TH-cam about her and just about her. Keep up the great work. Thank you
Overall, a tragic figure, regardless of how much she knew about the Holocaust: a young, vivacious woman probably so typical of her time, but probably mentally stunted by naivete and love for a beast that didn't deserve it. More tragic is the story of Hitler's niece Geli who evidently tried to break free of her uncle's control and seemingly ended up taking her own life. Well-presented and sober account, all the more effective for the excellent narration. Thumbs up.
Naivete is a convenient position of not knowing the horror that surrounds you. She knew about her older sister working for a Jewish physician and tried to dissuade her from working for him. Es ist mir egal, let me live my life! Eva Braun.
I think reducing people like Hitler to beast or monster discounts the fact that they were ordinary people. It should serve as a warning to the rest of us
kinda feel bad for her family, almost like it was cursed, she had no children, her sister gretl had a child that died in her 20's without children and her other sister had no children, nothing left of her family today
The exact date of Eva's first meeting with Hitler is known: October 11, 1929. We know this because Herta Schneider told John Toland in 1973-74 it was the second Friday in October of that year. Also, at 14:12, Gretl Braun is shown, that is not Eva. At 38:37 that is not Baldur, but Gerhard Engel.
As much as we may want to think she was naive about what was going on, I think it unlikely. Hitler would have spoken to her about things in confidence as many do with their partners.
Every top member knew what was going on everyone including that spineless coward Albert speer. You would have to be tremendously stupid, blind and deaf not to when you're that close to the source. Its always laughable when you hear any one of those guys deny knowledge of what was happening
Great video as always. As for Eva Braun, I am not basing this on any historical facts, but it would be more than possible for Eva Braun to have been unaware of Hitler’s crimes. By the time of the final solution, she was in their far-away mansion, possibly living in blissful ignorance and extreme wealth. On that note, it is extremely common for the family and close friends of people in extreme power to be completely unaware of the person in the middle of it being corrupt. One example that comes to mind is Pablo Escobar’s family and wife, who were mostly unaware of what was truly going on.
I would largely agree. I don’t think she is a sly fox as some suggest on here. I don’t think she really knew that much because Hitler didn’t want her to. I think he kept her around because not only did she worship the ground he walked on but she also provided an escape from everything else going on in his life . If the sexual suggestions are true then he could be with her without judgement or embarrassment and for someone with as fragile of an ego as he had that would have been vital to him . He needed her as much as she needed him . I think it’s nonsense to suggest Hitler could not love . I believe he did love Eva very much . He had to in my opinion in order to risk the German people finding out he wasn’t a terminal bachelor . Of course he did terrible things but I don’t believe being capable of those things means he couldn’t love .i also don’t think she was completely in the dark about who Hitler was deep down or what he believed in because she lived with and worked with him for years . i believe she was kept far enough away from reality that she likely didn’t know much about what was happening behind the protective gates of wherever she was living with him. While it seems Eva was utterly devoted to Hitler if she fully knew what was going on would that have swayed her from him his side ? I honestly don’t know . What we know about Eva is largely hear say . I find Eva to be an extremely fascinating person and I really enjoyed this video and the way it was presented
Your analysis is quite possible. Though it must be mentioned that Magda Goebbels had no illusions about the Nazi Party and most definitely her husband by 1944. But then Eva Braun was never even considered an intellectual bantam weight by those who came in touch with her, so really no comparison.
I’ve talked to a lot of people in Germany and it was wildly known what was going on. A lot of people said they even understood as children. The mother of a coworker of mine recalled having a neighbour, a child, with a disability. One day this child was just taken away, and people got it. This was happening everywhere. She knew about it.
She was seemingly a very enigmatic personage, although I find it hard to believe that she was not aware of what was going on albeit, in complete denial and afraid to face the demon and his cohorts amongst whom she lived, preferring instead to revel in the illusory luxuries she was afforded by this very evil entity. Having said that the films and pictures of her and to see her face in essentially unaffected gaiety and enjoyment of her life seem to say that she almost I think was afraid to look behind the curtain again this is only supposition and my opinion but I would find it fairly implausible that she did not know what was going on in some way shape or form, she was always surrounded by officers in a cohort so you know we’re deeply entrenched in the horror that was created by the Hitler regime, How could she not know so completely, even being faced with the percentage of Hitler himself who is a somber and dour figure
This was so masterfully narrated that i barely breathed the entire time! The way she is portrayed is really as someone who was young, immature and looking for a father figure...therefore to view her as someone who knew about the Nazi Regime is difficult, even if she knew, she was so enamored with Hitler that she felt what he was doing was for 'the Greater good ' of Germany and therefore she held him in high esteem. She loved the power and protection she didn't get from her father.
Years back, my 8th grade history teacher showed us a film he had "liberated" from one of Hitler's homes shortly after the war ended. It showed Eva Braun prancing around in the nude with Hitler smiling in the background. As a teenage boy, I was impressed.
Honestly, I’m surprised. I expected her to be similar to magda goebbels: stoic, ice-cold and ambitious. She was just an immature girl with a lost soul. I can’t even judge her since she was really young when AH basically groomed her into having a relationship with him. So sad.
A really interesting documentary and extremely well done and narrated. I always love the documentaries on your channel that's why I subscribed. I've listened to quite a few by now and I've enjoyed them so much. Thank you so much for uploading. By the way, I've just subscribed to your second channel, The History Chronicles, some good documentaries there which I will really enjoy.
I think Eva Braun was exactly what Hitler wanted her to be. Given his attachment to his Niece, he was fixated on nymphets…young, fit, sometimes silly girls. It was no mistake that Eva’s first suicide attempt. Mirrored precisely that of Gelli, she needed to know he loved her. She had the mannerisms of a teenager, showing off and being flirtatious, never venturing into serious discussions, and always ready to break the tension if things seemed stressful, turning the attentions onto herself. I think she knew she would never be allowed to love another man, (even if she wanted to), and that the fortunes of her family depended on her keeping Hitler’s attentions fixed on her. I think she loved him, as much as it was possible for her to love. She was never going to be allowed to grow up and take the role of a “proper German woman”, because Hitler needed her to be forever young, a touch rebellious, desired by men, always fresh and beautiful…and his alone. Thanks for undertaking the difficult task of telling her life, and doing it so well.🖤🇨🇦
@@hinaynihorvath3926 Sometimes, the act becomes its own truth. There was a great deal at stake for the Braun family, and Eva bore the weight of making it work.🖤🇨🇦
From the information presented, Braun certainly didn't exploit her liaison as a "gold-digger" would have. It appears she chose the man despite what she may have known/probably knew about his life away from their life together. That being said, we have no way of knowing what that life was truly like and we have contemporary examples of women deeply loving men they knew to be monsters. Another great job of recounting history.
Wow thank you so much for, really all your content!!!! Since I found this channel I’ve gone from one to another!!! Incredible & interesting to the max!!! ❤️💜❤️💜
I think the question of whether or not she knew of what was going on will never be answered. What CAN be ascertained with complete certainty is that she was certainly out for all the benefits her position afforded her, no matter who suffered in the process.
"Intimacy" Hitler kept her around for sex. It's almost ridiculous to argue otherwise. Whether it be intercourse or not who knows. She attempted suicide, one doesn't do that for a friend....
Wow! That is a fantastic documentary with so many excellent pictures and films! During wars and crises people rationalize that their individual sides are justified. Violence and death are similarly excused as necessary. Us against them or them against us. I have an idea the worst of the activities were somewhat sanitized for the top echelon. Wasn't it Himmler who reportedly fainted when he visited a death camp? Jews had long faced discrimination in Europe. Here in America there were African Americans. Even Abraham Lincoln, the Great Emancipator, did not consider black Americans to be completely equal, as he indicated in a speech. These poisons fester within societies for generations until no one questions them. I assume Eva Braun was largely ignorant of many things and what she did know, she excused. It appears she saw the kinder, gentler side of her Fuhrer, so why would she imagine the worst?

Please more videos of Eva Braun. She is diamond of history, without her "amateur" pictures and videos we would never be able to see inside of Hitler's life and his meetings with other nazi leaders. Ty and from now on i will follow this label. Greetings from Serbia :)
@AL X There is a lot of woman in history you can call them like that but her. What crime she did? Fall in love? She did not kill nobody. You misunderstood my point, without material from her camera (the last word of technology of that time) we would know nothing what happen inside Hitler's Berghof.
She easily didn't know. They did have access to information like we do today. she wasn't interested in politics and he wasn't interested in sharing it with her. Its pretty simple.
Well that may be true, about Eva's medical condition. HOWEVER, there is testimony from her friends, i.e. Traudl Junge and others; that she said they had an active sex life. In fact, after the 1938 Munich Conference, and the publishing of the photo with Chamberlain sitting on a sofa she said, "I wonder if he would have sat there, if he knew what had gone on, on that sofa". I suspect he did have a fairly normal sex life.
@@soundsilence That reminds me of an incident that happened in 1972 between President Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger. Nixon asked Kissinger how an old fat man like him was able to date beautiful young models and movie stars. Kissinger replied : "It's very simple Mr.President, power is the greatest aphrodisiac!"
Interesting about how Hitler saw his being a bachelor helped his political career when, in America, they prefer married leaders. Especially when it comes to the Office of the President.
While listening to the part about Eva and Hitler's sexual relationship, Google chimes in "I can find no information about that subject" out of nowhere. How creepy
The saddest thing about the second WW was that Hitler, the hopeless coward wasn't apprehended in his bunker by the Russians. It would have been great to hear in detail all the horrible things the Russians would have done to him and Eva.
They would do nothing exept hang him in nurenberg. Like the other war criminals. The soilders who enterd the bunker had orders. There wouldnt be a revenge story from a "hero" soilder. Live isnt a movie.
I seriously doubt this women Eva Braun, had no idea of the monstrous events taken place per order of her "boyfriend". I base this on the information contained in this video. Eva. Was an avid athlete. An attribute of every athlete is a inherent sense of competitiveness. She was intelligent enough to obtain an above average education . She was also wise enough to convince her employer Hoffman, to train her how to be a photographer. A position that was almost unheard of for a woman to hold in that era. She was also conniving enough to stage an attempt of suicide that's remarkabley similar to Hitler's niece. Final Eva's actual suicide doesn't prove love for Hitler. To me it proves complicity in the war crimes Hitler committed. Even at the very least her suicide proves guilt. Guilt from knowing about the atrocities. Or guilt from participating in them. This woman was a very intelligent woman who cared only for herself. I dear go further and say her missing letters were her attempt to tell the world she not only knew what horrors had taken place she also approved of them.
The footage of Eva speaking with Nazi figures shows her comfortable and flirtatious manner. She was present amongst Nazi parties, fuelled with alcohol and officials no doubt big noting about what was happening on the war front and in the concentration camps. Eva no doubt became too accustomed to her comfortable lifestyle with Hitler, and her notoriety within his inner circle, to worry about the fate of those outside of her circle. I believe her willingness to die with Hitler was not simply about her love for him, but her realisation if she did not take her life, it would never be the same again and she would too be held accountable in some way.
Germany just before WW2 seems like the most romantic place on earth, I would go back and hear Hitler speak if i had a time machine, doesn't make me a bad person, it was a fascinating time in history.
We will never know if Eva knew or not. It seems her dysfunctional childhood and father who was absent and emotionally unavailable would have drawn her to Hitler. What a waste of life to sacrifice herself with the biggest monster in history.
What was said about the Braun family is true. Several years ago I was introduced to a girl who married a brother-in-law. She told me she was a descendant of the family and her parents had a sterling silverware table set. The tableware was adorned with the party emblem at the tip of each pieces handle. It was said the gift was given to the family by the leader of the party himself. Who exactly she was related to she refused to say. As to the silverware, I had seen an item like that in an old black and white photo of the time so it is plausible.
Eva had learnt how to tread very carefully in a burning building, albeit for her own benefit but, ultimately, do we not all live essentially for our own sake and not for others.
@@waynehansell6749 I hate to disillusion you but genocides are being committed this very day in the hell-holes of Red China and North Korea. Organized murder did not begin nor end with the Third Reich, yet rather than raise hell about modern atrocities, most people are content to just whine and cry about events which occurred more than three-quarters of a century ago.
Great job, the narrator Mr. Jones. Watching Hitler's gf pick Iris flowers in the mountains, and thinking about the thousands of torture camps her bf built, is of course nauseating.
Astonishingly correct and with exemplary analysis, the way you historically document her life, she is a classic example of any gorgeous woman who knows that she can get what she wants by playing the game even if she falls in love (her going to Berlin was the end of her games), where she can have the desires of her heart come hell or high water as we used to say. Of course she knew as well as all the significant spouses. The comment Eva made to the wife of the leader of the Hitler Youth who got along with Speer got 20 years in Spandau, about no one could take her out of dying with her Furher, says it all. Given her chosen fate, like ladies and guys 3 generations later, enjoy the ride for as long as it lasts...yet she is not unique, Magda Goebbels and history's biggest liar did the same thing within 72 hours...
I believe that Eva, turned a blind eye to the horrors that were happening in order to live a life of privilege. It’s so sad that many people had to suffer under the hands of a madman and that no one helped these innocent people. Eva was nothing, but a selfish young lady who only cared about herself and her needs.

Braun certainly knew some horrific things were going on as the war deteriorated. It would be impossible to ignore that major cities in Germany were being bombed with horrific loss of life and property. And that Russians were getting closer to Berlin. But while most Germans were suffering and dying, Braun lived in a world of luxury and privilege. I think she selfishly and vainly wanted to enjoy those benefits for as long as she possibly could.
The apple really doesnt fall far from the tree. I just realized that Hitler was 23 years older than his wife Braun. A strange thing when you consider how much he despised his old father who was also 23 years older than his mother. I find it interesting as well that they both died on a couch
Hitler should have died sooner.
And both Alois and Adolf became workers of the state.
I’m so glad you’ve covered Eva Braun. She’s often overlooked.
You’ve shown unbiased and accurate outlook, as always, on these videos. Thanks 😊 👍
What is this, justice for Braun? Stfu
@@conniexo1996 she was a stupid, sophomoric, borderline. She wasn’t a Nazi. She was too vapid to have any political opinion whatsoever.
And before you continue raging, I’m Jewish, so there is no Nazi apology here.
@@conniexo1996 nothing that this person said suggests anything you’re accusing them of saying. It’s like you simply read the facts they posted (she is often overlooked, and any historical account should be objective) and immediately had a total emotional response.
I’m Jewish and if I can see her for what she likely was (a juvenile fashionista with the mind of a child, who likely had a serious personality disorder and was likely abused by her much older mass murdering partner) then surely you can at least consider that. Since there is overwhelming evidence that supports what I’m saying.
But I’d HIGHLY recommend you not tell me how to feel about this period of human history.
This TH-cam channel is amazing. Most documentaries really overcomplicate things but this is so clear and I can take in infomation and understand it which makes it so much easier when Iam revising.
Wow what another brilliant History documentary not only just for History buffs, but so much interesting content on this interesting person. Not enough is explained and talked about with Eva Braun. Once again I thank the people's Profile for such a well gathered documentary. So much time and efficiency was put into this thank u

Quick in them but at the same place 1
Exceptionally well written.
Take a bow Elena Hynes.
I really seriously appreciate you and your writers pointing out specific details are still in contention between historians.
One major issue with tackier and cheaper channels seeking to purely entertain would rather present what sounds most interesting, ignore the rest and actively choose to avoid stating certain things might not be true and are still unknown.
+1000 for not being a low brow trash channel that goes beyond a quick skin of a wikipedia page while most the rest are better left in the dust.
Now THIS is what I call great narration. Instead of sounding like you’re speaking to children. Thank you.

I have walked in her footsteps. My ex-husband is a native of Berlin, and took me on a tour of Der Reichtag and other sites within the area of the Battle of Berlin in those closing days of WWII. In all honesty, I believe she was a combination of both a knowing participant in the propaganda machine as a photographer, but also an innocent who was used, abused, and brainwashed. I also believed she was insanely smart, and an opportunist given her terrible early life. She was definitely a self sufficient a very capable and extremely complex paradox of a woman.
But she was guilty as well they lived the best days of war in the beginning but at the end Nazi Germany found a hat that fit them Russia saved Europe from evil 👿 they killed over 7 million Germans that’s why Germany are still angry George Soros said in a meeting he wanted to destroy Russia because they rapped his mother this was 1945 and now look how many died in Ukraine and Russians for a big lie

There are about 8 film reels of Eva Braun uploaded on youtube from the archive.A lot of them in colour.
I appreciate all of your efforts for anonymous people like me. Thank you very much from Anderson Indiana U.S.A.
I think Eva was smarter than people give her credit for. She existed in that lions den of strong and evil personalities, all vying to be closer to the Fuhrer.
Fantastic video! Thank you 🙏 ☮️💟
and super evil
Melania Trump reminds me of her. Both are far from stupid and know what's going on. Very calculating.
Beautiful clear English, excellent narration and brilliant content. Thank you, subscribed
Can't get enough of this channel.
Thank you for the historical photos, information along with the narration
Interestingly, I heard from a different documentary that Eva's "cry for help" in the form of a failed suicide enraged Hitler, for he saw it as manipulative, considering Eva apparently knew (to some extent) about his relationship with Geli, and his feelings (Geli was said to be the only woman Hitler ever loved) for her, and she was deeply jealous. Upon rushing to Eva's side, he promptly told her to never do something like that again.
I do believe it made him more perceptive to her admiration, and made him realize her value, therefore making him care for her. I also believe that he never forgot this manipulation (at least in his eyes) and it is one of the reasons why he never loved Eva.
In my opinion, he held some affections for her, because she worshipped the ground he walked on, which stroked his fragile ego. He must have recognized this to an extent, which is why he found her valuable and an asset, she made him feel good. He used her to feel powerful, and he realized he needed her. Which made him soften up in regards to her, but I don't believe he ever fully loved her.
Hitler was a sociopath and sociopaths are incapable of love. Whatever " genuine love" he may have had for his niece, it was simply about control and perversion.
100% he loved her
Amazing work as always!
Of all the women throughout history who have done crazy things to get a man’s attention, Eva Braun seems to be at the top of that list.
Perhaps the men are to blame.
Excellent biography. As far as whether Eva Braun knew that she was a beneficiary of the atrocities that were going on in Germany (i.e., The Holocaust), there is no way in Hades she couldn’t have known. Just because she was apolitical, that doesn’t mean she was naive and stupid.
After all, she was the assistant of Hitler’s photographic propagandist and took pictures in advance of that effort. And then she was frequently at the Berghof, were Hitler would have conversed with many of those in his inner circle. Undoubtedly she overheard not a few things they were discussing!
I wonder why no one has ever made a movie about her.
Because not all of us want to revel in Nazism
当然有，比如99年的俄罗斯电影《摩罗神》Молох，是描述希特勒在伯克霍克度过的一段时间，女主角当然是爱娃

Ungrateful, aren't we? Perhaps others haven't seen it.
Thank you for this video. I am a “World War II novice historian” and I would like to thank you for putting this on TH-cam about Eva Braun. I was thinking about her the other day and wondering why I couldn’t find anything on TH-cam about her and just about her. Keep up the great work. Thank you
@Simon McCreath It's Braun.
@Simon McCreath Braun is correct Brown is English
Overall, a tragic figure, regardless of how much she knew about the Holocaust: a young, vivacious woman probably so typical of her time, but probably mentally stunted by naivete and love for a beast that didn't deserve it.
More tragic is the story of Hitler's niece Geli who evidently tried to break free of her uncle's control and seemingly ended up taking her own life. Well-presented and sober account, all the more effective for the excellent narration. Thumbs up.
Well sayed, bravo! I think Geli is not the only one end up tragicly her life because fall in love with Hitler.
Naivete is a convenient position of not knowing the horror that surrounds you. She knew about her older sister working for a Jewish physician and tried to dissuade her from working for him. Es ist mir egal, let me live my life! Eva Braun.
I don't see Eva Brain as a tragic figure at all.
She made her choices.
She hooked up with a monster.
I think reducing people like Hitler to beast or monster discounts the fact that they were ordinary people. It should serve as a warning to the rest of us
@@abelis644 She hooked up with a person.
She 100% knew. It is quite impossible to be so dense after all those years.
kinda feel bad for her family, almost like it was cursed, she had no children, her sister gretl had a child that died in her 20's without children and her other sister had no children, nothing left of her family today
That is probably a good thing.
That’s not entirely true because Eva’s cousin Gertrude is still alive I believe and Gertrude’s son Jake is still alive too and he’s in his 40s
The exact date of Eva's first meeting with Hitler is known: October 11, 1929. We know this because Herta Schneider told John Toland in 1973-74 it was the second Friday in October of that year. Also, at 14:12, Gretl Braun is shown, that is not Eva. At 38:37 that is not Baldur, but Gerhard Engel.
As much as we may want to think she was naive about what was going on, I think it unlikely. Hitler would have spoken to her about things in confidence as many do with their partners.
Every top member knew what was going on everyone including that spineless coward Albert speer. You would have to be tremendously stupid, blind and deaf not to when you're that close to the source. Its always laughable when you hear any one of those guys deny knowledge of what was happening
Great video as always. As for Eva Braun, I am not basing this on any historical facts, but it would be more than possible for Eva Braun to have been unaware of Hitler’s crimes. By the time of the final solution, she was in their far-away mansion, possibly living in blissful ignorance and extreme wealth. On that note, it is extremely common for the family and close friends of people in extreme power to be completely unaware of the person in the middle of it being corrupt. One example that comes to mind is Pablo Escobar’s family and wife, who were mostly unaware of what was truly going on.
I would largely agree. I don’t think she is a sly fox as some suggest on here. I don’t think she really knew that much because Hitler didn’t want her to. I think he kept her around because not only did she worship the ground he walked on but she also provided an escape from everything else going on in his life . If the sexual suggestions are true then he could be with her without judgement or embarrassment and for someone with as fragile of an ego as he had that would have been vital to him . He needed her as much as she needed him . I think it’s nonsense to suggest Hitler could not love . I believe he did love Eva very much . He had to in my
opinion in order to risk the German people finding out he wasn’t a terminal bachelor . Of course he did terrible things but I don’t believe being capable of those things means he couldn’t love .i also don’t think she was completely in the dark about who Hitler was deep down or what he believed in because she lived with and worked with him for years . i believe she was kept far enough away from reality that she likely didn’t know much about what was happening behind the protective gates of wherever she was living with him. While it seems Eva was utterly devoted to Hitler if she fully knew what was going on would that have swayed her from him his side ? I honestly don’t know . What we know about Eva is largely hear say . I find Eva to be an extremely fascinating person and I really enjoyed this video and the way it was presented
That's like saying white people don't know what they say about blacks when they think no blacks are aroubd
Your analysis is quite possible. Though it must be mentioned that Magda Goebbels had no illusions about the Nazi Party and most definitely her husband by 1944. But then Eva Braun was never even considered an intellectual bantam weight by those who came in touch with her, so really no comparison.
She knew what was going on.
I’ve talked to a lot of people in Germany and it was wildly known what was going on. A lot of people said they even understood as children. The mother of a coworker of mine recalled having a neighbour, a child, with a disability. One day this child was just taken away, and people got it. This was happening everywhere. She knew about it.
Thanks for such an interesting documentary, keep them coming 👍
From Guyana 🇬🇾 South America.
Eva knew, Pablo’s wife knew. Just like Carmella Soprano knew.
She was seemingly a very enigmatic personage, although I find it hard to believe that she was not aware of what was going on albeit, in complete denial and afraid to face the demon and his cohorts amongst whom she lived, preferring instead to revel in the illusory luxuries she was afforded by this very evil entity. Having said that the films and pictures of her and to see her face in essentially unaffected gaiety and enjoyment of her life seem to say that she almost I think was afraid to look behind the curtain again this is only supposition and my opinion but I would find it fairly implausible that she did not know what was going on in some way shape or form, she was always surrounded by officers in a cohort so you know we’re deeply entrenched in the horror that was created by the Hitler regime, How could she not know so completely, even being faced with the percentage of Hitler himself who is a somber and dour figure
Another great documentary from you guys, thank you for posting such amazing content. Keep it up!
This was so masterfully narrated that i barely breathed the entire time! The way she is portrayed is really as someone who was young, immature and looking for a father figure...therefore to view her as someone who knew about the Nazi Regime is difficult, even if she knew, she was so enamored with Hitler that she felt what he was doing was for 'the Greater good ' of Germany and therefore she held him in high esteem. She loved the power and protection she didn't get from her father.
Many thanks-supremely talented narration!
Eva Braun was and still is an enigma.
Years back, my 8th grade history teacher showed us a film he had "liberated" from one of Hitler's homes shortly after the war ended.
It showed Eva Braun prancing around in the nude with Hitler smiling in the background.
As a teenage boy, I was impressed.
I saw in another documentary that both Eva and Gretle were keen nudists, and have seen film of Gretle skinny dipping at a swimming hole.
Bullshit.
Honestly, I’m surprised. I expected her to be similar to magda goebbels: stoic, ice-cold and ambitious. She was just an immature girl with a lost soul. I can’t even judge her since she was really young when AH basically groomed her into having a relationship with him. So sad.
😅😊😊ioiiiiui you jo jo jo jo
How did he groom her? Fromt eh sounds of it he didn't even pay attention to her until she attempted to off herself.
I don't agree!
A really interesting documentary and extremely well done and narrated. I always love the documentaries on your channel that's why I subscribed. I've listened to quite a few by now and I've enjoyed them so much. Thank you so much for uploading. By the way, I've just subscribed to your second channel, The History Chronicles, some good documentaries there which I will really enjoy.
I think Eva Braun was exactly what Hitler wanted her to be. Given his attachment to his Niece, he was fixated on nymphets…young, fit, sometimes silly girls. It was no mistake that Eva’s first suicide attempt. Mirrored precisely that of Gelli, she needed to know he loved her.
She had the mannerisms of a teenager, showing off and being flirtatious, never venturing into serious discussions, and always ready to break the tension if things seemed stressful, turning the attentions onto herself.
I think she knew she would never be allowed to love another man, (even if she wanted to), and that the fortunes of her family depended on her keeping Hitler’s attentions fixed on her. I think she loved him, as much as it was possible for her to love.
She was never going to be allowed to grow up and take the role of a “proper German woman”, because Hitler needed her to be forever young, a touch rebellious, desired by men, always fresh and beautiful…and his alone. Thanks for undertaking the difficult task of telling her life, and doing it so well.🖤🇨🇦
so your welcome...
I believe that was all an act
@@hinaynihorvath3926 Sometimes, the act becomes its own truth. There was a great deal at stake for the Braun family, and Eva bore the weight of making it work.🖤🇨🇦

@tamarrajames3590 you said the most true words I've ever heard
I do sometimes wonder if she has any relation to the Braun Razorblade company...
The best in documentary story telling . Never seen some of those pics.
From the information presented, Braun certainly didn't exploit her liaison as a "gold-digger" would have. It appears she chose the man despite what she may have known/probably knew about his life away from their life together. That being said, we have no way of knowing what that life was truly like and we have contemporary examples of women deeply loving men they knew to be monsters. Another great job of recounting history.
Wow thank you so much for, really all your content!!!! Since I found this channel I’ve gone from one to another!!! Incredible & interesting to the max!!! ❤️💜❤️💜
I think the question of whether or not she knew of what was going on will never be answered. What CAN be ascertained with complete certainty is that she was certainly out for all the benefits her position afforded her, no matter who suffered in the process.
Thanks!
Thank you.
"Intimacy" Hitler kept her around for sex. It's almost ridiculous to argue otherwise. Whether it be intercourse or not who knows. She attempted suicide, one doesn't do that for a friend....
A well made biography of a playgirl who was the companion of a monster.
she was no girl
My new favourite channel on TH-cam
Wow! That is a fantastic documentary with so many excellent pictures and films! During wars and crises people rationalize that their individual sides are justified. Violence and death are similarly excused as necessary. Us against them or them against us.
I have an idea the worst of the activities were somewhat sanitized for the top echelon. Wasn't it Himmler who reportedly fainted when he visited a death camp? Jews had long faced discrimination in Europe. Here in America there were African Americans. Even Abraham Lincoln, the Great Emancipator, did not consider black Americans to be completely equal, as he indicated in a speech. These poisons fester within societies for generations until no one questions them.
I assume Eva Braun was largely ignorant of many things and what she did know, she excused. It appears she saw the kinder, gentler side of her Fuhrer, so why would she imagine the worst?

Please more videos of Eva Braun. She is diamond of history, without her "amateur" pictures and videos we would never be able to see inside of Hitler's life and his meetings with other nazi leaders. Ty and from now on i will follow this label. Greetings from Serbia :)
Maybe diamond is a little 'rough' of a comparison... She was a sinister ember that burnt out quick.
@AL X There is a lot of woman in history you can call them like that but her. What crime she did? Fall in love? She did not kill nobody. You misunderstood my point, without material from her camera (the last word of technology of that time) we would know nothing what happen inside Hitler's Berghof.
Love your documentary’s keep up the good work love the voice the narrator
She easily didn't know. They did have access to information like we do today. she wasn't interested in politics and he wasn't interested in sharing it with her. Its pretty simple.
Well that may be true, about Eva's medical condition. HOWEVER, there is testimony from her friends, i.e. Traudl Junge and others; that she said they had an active sex life. In fact, after the 1938 Munich Conference, and the publishing of the photo with Chamberlain sitting on a sofa she said, "I wonder if he would have sat there, if he knew what had gone on, on that sofa". I suspect he did have a fairly normal sex life.
Cerebral psychopaths have disregard for sex. This video said nothing about the most obvious explanation for it.
I would guess it was on the kinky to perverted side
Never underestimate the allure of an older man, with great power, to a younger girl/woman. We see countless examples even today.
@@soundsilence That reminds me of an incident that happened in 1972 between President Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger. Nixon asked Kissinger how an old fat man like him was able to date beautiful young models and movie stars. Kissinger replied : "It's very simple Mr.President, power is the greatest aphrodisiac!"
@@soundsilence It seems like Eva was looking for a father figure too.
My god, this is such a sad story, encapsulated in an even sadder story.
Brilliant stories and history been listening to this since the lockdown
A very interesting perspective taken with Eva Bran. What did she want her legacy to be?
Interesting about how Hitler saw his being a bachelor helped his political career when, in America, they prefer married leaders. Especially when it comes to the Office of the President.
While listening to the part about Eva and Hitler's sexual relationship, Google chimes in "I can find no information about that subject" out of nowhere. How creepy
I'm humming the opening music of ..... the Twilight Zone
The saddest thing about the second WW was that Hitler, the hopeless coward wasn't apprehended in his bunker by the Russians. It would have been great to hear in detail all the horrible things the Russians would have done to him and Eva.
Hitler knew the Russians had entered Berlin and the War was over that's why he committed suicide. It's all quite simple.
They would do nothing exept hang him in nurenberg. Like the other war criminals. The soilders who enterd the bunker had orders. There wouldnt be a revenge story from a "hero" soilder. Live isnt a movie.
Hard to know or say something with precision, but I think Ms. Braun knew everything couldn't do anything and benefited from it all
This was great! Thank you.
The Braun sisters were gorgeous.
I seriously doubt this women Eva Braun, had no idea of the monstrous events taken place per order of her "boyfriend". I base this on the information contained in this video. Eva. Was an avid athlete. An attribute of every athlete is a inherent sense of competitiveness.
She was intelligent enough to obtain an above average education . She was also wise enough to convince her employer Hoffman, to train her how to be a photographer. A position that was almost unheard of for a woman to hold in that era. She was also conniving enough to stage an attempt of suicide that's remarkabley similar to Hitler's niece.
Final Eva's actual suicide doesn't prove love for Hitler. To me it proves complicity in the war crimes Hitler committed. Even at the very least her suicide proves guilt. Guilt from knowing about the atrocities. Or guilt from participating in them. This woman was a very intelligent woman who cared only for herself. I dear go further and say her missing letters were her attempt to tell the world she not only knew what horrors had taken place she also approved of them.
Imagine after the war being able to say Hitler was your son in law.
The footage of Eva speaking with Nazi figures shows her comfortable and flirtatious manner. She was present amongst Nazi parties, fuelled with alcohol and officials no doubt big noting about what was happening on the war front and in the concentration camps. Eva no doubt became too accustomed to her comfortable lifestyle with Hitler, and her notoriety within his inner circle, to worry about the fate of those outside of her circle. I believe her willingness to die with Hitler was not simply about her love for him, but her realisation if she did not take her life, it would never be the same again and she would too be held accountable in some way.
Excellent work! Thank you for this.
Germany just before WW2 seems like the most romantic place on earth, I would go back and hear Hitler speak if i had a time machine, doesn't make me a bad person, it was a fascinating time in history.
We will never know if Eva knew or not. It seems her dysfunctional childhood and father who was absent and emotionally unavailable would have drawn her to Hitler. What a waste of life to sacrifice herself with the biggest monster in history.
Interesting , learn something every time I watch one , Peter Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you for this outstanding thought provoking presentation.
Eva Braun and Hitler did not eat sausages and drank beer because Hitler was a vegetarian and hated alcohol
vegan sausages and alcohol-less beer
She looked a lot like her mother.
This is fantastic. Thank you!!
What was said about the Braun family is true. Several years ago I was introduced to a girl who married a brother-in-law. She told me she was a descendant of the family and her parents had a sterling silverware table set. The tableware was adorned with the party emblem at the tip of each pieces handle. It was said the gift was given to the family by the leader of the party himself. Who exactly she was related to she refused to say. As to the silverware, I had seen an item like that in an old black and white photo of the time so it is plausible.
Eva had learnt how to tread very carefully in a burning building, albeit for her own benefit but, ultimately, do we not all live essentially for our own sake and not for others.
I find it very hard to believe she had no idea what Hitler and the Nazis were doing.
Why should anyone care 80 years later?
@@jacksonreilly3441 people should always care so we make sure things like that don't happen again.
@@waynehansell6749 I hate to disillusion you but genocides are being committed this very day in the hell-holes of Red China and North Korea. Organized murder did not begin nor end with the Third Reich, yet rather than raise hell about modern atrocities, most people are content to just whine and cry about events which occurred more than three-quarters of a century ago.
@@jacksonreilly3441 I agree but that doesn't mean we should forget the millions of people killed in the Holocaust.

Thank you
I noticed that Unity Mitford was never mentioned considering she and Eva hated and jealous of each other.
Could you do a doco on Unity please?
The doc was about Eva. Unity Mitford is another story.
Only clicked on this because I recognized the name from that one episode of Bojack Horseman. Now I must go re-watch it with new eyes!
Great job, the narrator Mr. Jones. Watching Hitler's gf pick Iris flowers in the mountains, and thinking about the thousands of torture camps her bf built, is of course nauseating.
Well Done
Astonishingly correct and with exemplary analysis, the way you historically document her life, she is a classic example of any gorgeous woman who knows that she can get what she wants by playing the game even if she falls in love (her going to Berlin was the end of her games), where she can have the desires of her heart come hell or high water as we used to say. Of course she knew as well as all the significant spouses. The comment Eva made to the wife of the leader of the Hitler Youth who got along with Speer got 20 years in Spandau, about no one could take her out of dying with her Furher, says it all. Given her chosen fate, like ladies and guys 3 generations later, enjoy the ride for as long as it lasts...yet she is not unique, Magda Goebbels and history's biggest liar did the same thing within 72 hours...

Love this channel. You all are so informative!
I adore a good love story.
Eva was devoted unto death.
I believe that Eva, turned a blind eye to the horrors that were happening in order to live a life of privilege. It’s so sad that many people had to suffer under the hands of a madman and that no one helped these innocent people. Eva was nothing, but a selfish young lady who only cared about herself and her needs.
true but she was no lady!
😅😅
you'll have a hard time finding a woman that sint that way sadly
I think her anonymity is testament to a high level of intelligence.
Thank you
