I'm not quite sure what you based your article on Eva Braun on but it wasn't the truth. The most simple of research can dissprove many of your claims, which I noticed you didn't actually cite. For example; she was a prostitute. Actually she worked in a photographers shop and had only been there a few weeks when she met Hitler. She hadn't done any modelling but had dreams of becoming a photographer. This is only one of the mistakes you make in this article. You should research before publishing.

unfortunately, you have no idea what you are talking about. I suggest you read far more history of the 3rd Reich before you make any comments on any blog about Nazi Germany.

Great Read Berlin Embassy by William Russell part one

Berlin Embassy by William Russell

Five Stars

I like this book a lot. I’ve read it four or five times. Part of the reason is the detail on everyday life in Berlin during the years 1939, 1940, and 1941. When I was researching my first novel, An Honorable German, I read this book on Berlin, among many others, because several chapters take place in the city of my book take place in Berlin and I…

“Why Ike Wouldn’t Celebrate the D-Day Anniversary” by Presidential Historian Michael Beschloss

From the New York Times

article by historian Michael Beschloss

“In 1952, when Eisenhower — who usually kept his emotions under lock and key — spoke to a World War II veterans’ audience about soldiers who died as a direct result of his command decisions, he was so overwhelmed by grief that he covered his face with a handkerchief.”
