Mimi's last meeting with Hitler was in his apartment on Prinzregentenstrasse in Munich in 1938. "Are you happy, Wolf?" she asked him there. "No, if you mean with Eva," answered Hitler. "I tell her every day she ought to find some young fellow. I'm too old." (Hitler was then 49.) Then Mimi asked her old lover what everyone else was asking: "Will there be war?"
