Only two women had emerged with any clarity from Adolf Hitler's shadowy private life: his youthful niece, Geli Raubal, and Eva Braun. Both died violent deaths. When last March Hitler's sister, Paula Wolf, casually mentioned to a German reporter that she had recently visited with "perhaps the only woman my brother ever loved," Günter Peis's news instincts were understandably aroused. The woman turned out to be Maria Reiter, blonde, buxom and 49, now living quietly in a Munich suburb. Reluctant at first, Maria finally gave Peis the long-kept secret...
...Mimi & Wolf. It all began in a Berchtesgaden park in 1926. Maria, 16, and Hitler, 37, were walking their police dogs. He was just a struggling young party leader then.

"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?" Der Führer shrugged his shoulders and turned away...
What happens then? The ordinary cocktail-hour psychiatrist will have no difficulty understanding the professionals' explanation. The stress-blind personality creates for himself a "maladaptation syndrome," theorizes the University of Oklahoma's Dr. Stewart Wolf, in which increased blood cholesterol is a "biological adaptive mechanism for providing the body with fuel for extraordinary effort. Because the stress-prone individual is constantly striving and constantly frustrated, his body reacts as though he were constantly carrying a burden." The rise in blood cholesterol and lipides (fatty molecules) may increase the danger of thrombosis, particularly when other factors (heredity, diet...
