...pretty frauleins. One was Hitler's unstable niece Geli Raubal, the only woman he ever truly loved. It was a sad and unfulfilled affair. On a September evening in 1931, after an argument with & her uncle, Raubal fatally shot herself. He had only one subsequent lover, a young blond named Eva Braun. In 1932, frustrated by Hitler's inattention, she also aimed a pistol at herself, but the attempt failed. Nearly 13 years later, under Berlin's streets, the drama would be eerily restaged when Hitler took Braun for his bride, 40 hours before their double suicide by pistol, poison...
First there are the blond-haired good looks: striking but somehow wholesome, more high school prom queen than Hollywood glamour puss. Then there's the rich, honeyed voice: husky and authoritative, but free of the severe tone affected by some females in TV news.

More important, do they deserve our trust...
