The Vanished Life of Eva Braun

The life of Eva Braun, the former mistress and later wife of Adolf Hitler, the infamous leader of Germany, is an enigma to most people. Was she seduced by his charm, or was she his willing accomplice? Of modest upbringing and limited schooling, she clawed herself up to the pinnacles of power and became, despite her Catholic upbringing and against the strong objections of her father, the mistress of the most powerful man in Europe. Yet, she had to stay out of the limelight, her existence only known to a small group of insiders. Her loyalty and love to Hitler were finally rewarded by an offer of marriage, albeit too late. The book expands on these and other important aspects of her life and sheds light on the inner workings of Hitler's court and his personal lifestyle; including Hitler's personal comments to Eva regarding preparations for traveling to the moon and about German atomic weapons.
