Eva Braun is one of history's most famous nonentities. She has been dismissed as a racist, feather-headed shop girl, and yet six decades after her death her name is still instantly recognizable. She left her convent school at the age of seventeen and met Hitler a few months later. She became his mistress before she was twenty. How did unsophisticated little Fräulein Braun, 23 years his junior, hold the most powerful man in Europe in an exclusive relationship that lasted from 1932 until their joint suicide? Were they really lovers, and what were the background influences and psychological tensions of the middle-class Catholic girl from Munich who shared his intimate life? How can her ordinariness and apparent decency be reconciled with an unshakeable loyalty to the monster she loved?--From publisher description.… (altro)

Very depressing read about a young German girl with dreams and hopes. The book doesn't make her out to be a victim though. Interesting insight into Adolf Hitler as well. Well written. ( )

Found the book to depressing to press on with. Dumped after 50 or so pages. ( )

Na het lezen van verschillende biografieën over de 'belangrijke' figuren van het nazi-Duitsland, met name Göring, Speer, Hess, Rommel,... , was het een verademing om eens te lezen over iemand die dicht in de omgeving van Hitler stond maar niet tot de politieke/militaire kring behoorde. Op deze manier kreeg ik dan ook een ander beeld van Hitler. Zo bijvoorbeeld hoe hij zich gedroeg in huiselijke sfeer. Verder probeert Angela Lambert ook te achterhalen wanneer Hitler zijn maagdelijkheid heeft verloren. Dit zijn zaken die in de andere biografieën nooit aan bod kwamen...

De auteur slaagt erin een mooi maar tragisch beeld van Eva Braun te scheppen. Ze beschrijft hoe zij en Hitler elkaar ontmoeten, hoe de relatie in het begin eruitzag (met een grote dominatie van Hitler) maar dan evolueerde naar een vorm van gelijkwaardigheid van partners. De auteur heeft het boek gebaseerd op een veelheid van bronnen waaronder mondelinge gesprekken, het (kleine) dagboek van Eva Braun, Traudl Junge...

Het boek is vlot geschreven en leest gemakkelijk. Het had dus een grote score kunnen krijgen boven de 4 sterren... Was het niet dat de auteur een stijlkeuze heeft gemaakt waarmee ik mij niet kan verzoenen. Zo koos Lambert ervoor om haar lancunes in bronnen op te vullen met de ervaringen van haar eigen moeder. Zo is er bijvoorbeeld een hoofdstuk over de jeugd van Eva Braun waar Duitse gezelschapspelen besproken worden. De auteur geeft toe dat ze niet weet welke spellen Eva speelde en begint daarom maar te vertellen over wat haar moeder (een tijdsgenoot van Eva) altijd vertelde over de spellen die zij speelde. Ik vind dit een zeer onwetenschappelijke benadering. Verder blijkt de auteur ook graag zelf een rol te spelen in haar eigen boek. Er zijn verschillende stukken die in een ik-vorm zijn geschreven waarin ze over haar opzoekingen vertelt. Gelukkig voor mijn quotering verminderde dit na zo'n 1/3 van het boek, wanneer Eva Braun zich op de Berghof vestigde. Dit waarschijnlijk omdat ze beschikking kreeg over veel meer bronnen zoals huishoudsters, secretaressen, ooggetuigen terwijl ze in het begin meer moest 'zelf aanvullen'. Het boek mist met andere woorden op veel momenten een historische afstandelijkeid. De latere delen tonen dat ze wel ertoe in staat is maar ze verkiest om dit niet altijd te doen. Spijtig! Het is misschien een verdedigbaar standpunt, één van de Engelse reviewers vond dit een pluspunt, ik vond dit echter een zwak punt van het boek. Vandaar slechts een 2,5 ( )

Story of Eva Braun, the mistress of Hitler.
The story, written by an English author who draws conclusions about Eva based on how her own German mother,who was the same age as Eva, responded to living in Germany through the War. Her mother did not know what was happening to the Jews or understood Hitlers destructive powers, and so too Eva did not know or care to know what Hitler was really doing. Was Eva a flighty blonde only interested in the latest fashion and waiting for Hitler to ask her to dinner or was she calculating women planning to keep Hitler at all costs?
The reader is taken from the time Eva first meets Hitler to the final scene in the Berlin Bunker.
For those readers who like "Histories Mysteries" the author supplies addresses of various places in Germany that are mentioned in the book. When I was in Munich, during the Summer of 2007, I went to the old part of the city and tried to find the building that housed the photography business that Eva worked at before she met Hitler I think the shop is now a bicycle repair shop.
The story was intersting, although the editing is spotty, especially the duplicate footnoes that I found disconcerting. ( )

An amazing insight not only into Eva Braun, but to Hitler himself and the functions of his inner circle. It redeems Eva's image while examining it's primary sources with a pinch of salt. It clearly states what is speculation and what is fact.
