[Adolf Hitler] tried to make people feel at ease, he made that effort.

What [Adolf Hitler] felt deep inside he wasn't going to show to outsiders.

Was [Adolf Hitler] rude to me? Never. He was always polite and well-mannered.

[Adolf] Hitler didn't discuss politics or military with Eva [Braun]. Not once.

[Eva Braun] always said, "you're the Führer, you can do whatever you want to do."

[Eva Braun] was the one who was involved with [Adolf Hitler], who was close to him.

[Eva Braun] complained when [Adolf Hitler] was absent, she complained that she was deprived of his company.

I didn't experience the negative side of [Adolf] Hitler. My sister [Eva Braun] did, that's a big distinction.

[Eva Braun] was careful, she was always careful about what she divulged to me or to anyone about [Adolf] Hitler.

The negatives about [Adolf] Hitler were that he was away a lot and couldn't behave towards Eva [Braun] as he should.

Mostly [Eva Braun criticize Adolf Hitler] about his clothes, the cut and the fit of his clothes. This was an ongoing issue between them.

They [Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun] had their disagreements, it wasn't all sunshine and roses, but it isn't that way for any married couple.

I have also seen [Adolf] Hitler upset when they had been having words. He was not immune from being bothered or upset by their relationship.

[Eva Braun] lived life with [Adolf] Hitler, when he was away, she just filled up her time without Hitler. That was the sum total of it, really.

They [Eva Braun and Adolf Hitler] never entrusted their letters to the mail. There was always a courier, someone to hand deliver their letters.

[Eva Braun] would much rather have been at [Adolf ] Hitler's side. All those excursions were to fill up her time while waiting for him to return.

[Wilhelm] Bruckner was one of [Adolf] Hitler's adjutants, very close to him and he'd been in the party probably since day one. Personally neither of us could stand him.

It was just a terribly stressful situation and dreary. A few months after [Eva Braun] suicide attempt, [Adolf] Hitler moved us both to the apartment, it was in the summer.

[Eva Braun] would also refer to [Adolf Hitler] as "the boss" (der Chef), but she never called him "Adolf" or "Adi" to anyone after the very early days. It was always der Führer.

I knew when they [with Adolf Hitler] had been fighting because Eva [Braun] always reacted the same way. She would lock herself in her bedroom and cry and cry, sometimes for a long time.

[Eva Braun] loved [Adolf Hitler]. She would have done that had she been able to spend 10 minutes with him. She endured a lot on his behalf, there's a great deal on that subject to be said.

This was all very early on, there was no romance between them then,[Adolf] Hitler was living with Geli Raubal and made a very big display over her, that she was his great love and so forth.

When we were in the Munich house, sometimes [Adolf Hitler] would call the house line after one of their fights. They would talk and then Eva [Braun] would emerge from her room and behave normally.

At the end, [Eva Braun] begged me to spare these letters [to Adolf Hitler] and bury them. She specifically wrote to me and told me over the phone not to read any of the letters, she made me promise.

[Adolf Hitler] was Austrian, so he knew how to play that role [being capable of apologizing]. In fact, it wasn't playacting, it was just part of who he was. He hated to see women cry or women upset.

Eva [Braun] liked to write cards and letters, she spent a great deal of time on this. She had lovely writing, lovely sets of stationary and she spent hours a day on her correspondence, at least later on.
