Eva Braun was the most intimate chronicler of the Nazi regime, capturing Hitler's private life with her Rolleiflex 622 cine-camera.
Today, Eva Braun is both a symbol of Nordic simplicity, and also a tragic figure whose ordinariness provides a window on to the banality of evil. Postwar fascination with the Nazis means that Eva Braun still has a remarkable grip on our imagination - the little girl in the fairytale who takes us to the horror in the woods.
The woman, Eva Braun, who holds the key to the domestic face of Adolf Hitler was 17 when she was first introduced to the Führer, who was only identified as "Herr Wolff". This blind date had been set up by Hitler's personal photographer Heinrich Hoffman, for whom Eva Braun worked as an assistant.
