HITLER AND HIS LIBIDO A dud in the bag afraid of women he could not satisfy |
| The not so perfect Don Juan |
| Although "married" to the Third Reich, Hitler was not completely satisfied with it, so in the end, he had a lot of not-so- platonic extra-marital affairs. Little credible information about the real nature of these affairs has actually surfaced. Reports about Hitler's affairs are more than disturbing because Hitler's relationships with women always ended in tragic circumstances. In a recent biography of Hitler, German historian, Guido Knopp (1), put forward the theory that Hitler's relationships with women were flagrant evidence of his megalomania. Knopp pretended that Hitler's inability to enjoy normal happy lasting relationships with his entourage (and women) stemmed from the Fuhrer's mystical ideas of his destiny and his devotion to politics. |
| Eva was a cheeky nice blonde woman not particularly smart and rather futile |
| A jerk afraid of women Do not make us laugh Herr Knopp !!! It takes a strange mould of an historian to lend to this vain man such great motivations and it is too much honor to pay to the guy. Reality is tougher and bleaker but some people still want to believe that Hitler, although a mad man, had noble motives: as would have said Marlene Dietrich, who knew a lot about men and excelled in calling a villain a villain, Hitler was nothing else than "a jerk afraid of women". His alleged mystical ideas of his destiny came up as a convenient excuse. Let us bring some evidence of it. |

| Eva Braun married Hitler in April 1945 then the couple committed suicide. Some think that she is responsible for the suicide of Geli Raubal |
| Not all women were in love with Hitler, some even fought him to their death |
| Hitler said once to his sister-in-law, Bridget Hitler, that he could not get married because, "in the Hitler maid-battalions there are 20 million girls in love with me and another 20 million more women, i.e. 40 million females in love with me. If I were to marry one of these women; I would lose the personal interest of 39,999,999 others tomorrow. No, no, no, I can not afford to do that." Incredible vanity, cold political calculation or sheer stupidity of a man who did not fear to consider himself as a genius ? Hitler who is said to prefer auburn-haired women with a well built body had nevertheless a weakness for Aryan women. Blonde Scandinavians with glaring blue eyes always stirred him. Among these, was the beautiful Inga Ley, scion of a prestigious German artists family, dancer and spouse of Robert Ley, an idealist but tough and alcoholic ex-WWI pilot who, since 1933, was in charge of the Deutsches Arbeitsfront (DAF). Ley, had confiscated pre-existing union funds to fund the Kraft durch Freud (Strength through Joy) program, discovered one morning that his wife had fled home to join Hitler at the Obersalzberg. Nothing is known of the relations between the Führer and the unfaithful wife except that Inga Ley eventually went back to her husband and committed suicide in December 1942. |
| Hitler loved little kids which endeared him to their mother |

| Hitler did not really look like a Don Juan but his mettalic blue eyes and his willpower seduced many women and mesmerized millions of them. Once- accordint go Christa Schroder, Hitler's private secretary, one woman took off her bra in front of him in order to seduce him. He looked terribly embarrassed and asked her to put it back. |
| Inga Ley was a beautiful woman (picture left ). Foolish gossip circulated through Germany about her relationship to Hitler and the cause of her suicide, but nothing is really certain. A lot of speculation followed her suicide but, to this day, it is assumed she was unstable, leery of her husband's acute alcoholism, and had a passion for her Führer. Robert Ley and his wife Inga had three children. She was an exceptionally beautiful woman and Ley commissioned a life size portrait of her in the nude which he displayed prominently in his house. According to Robert Ley's private secretary, Hildegard Bruninghoff, Inga Ley shot herself on 29 December 1942. She had become depressed following complications during childbirth which had left her drug-dependent. She was also known to indulge heavily in drinking. Robert Ley was arrested by the Allies in 1945 and committed suicide in his prison cell. Another woman who got close to Hitler was Renata Müller (pic left), a film actress and one of Hitler's earlier infatuations. The relationship did not last long. Once, Müller was spending the evening at the Chancellery and (she later confided to her director, Adolf Zeissler), that Hitler asked her to getundressed, then threw himself on the floor begging her to kick him, and inflict pain. She left the Chancellery very upset. |
| Beautiful Inge Ley got herself so much fascinated by the Fuhrer that she fled home once and committed suicide in 1942 out of post-natal depression and drugs |
| The vengeance of a jealous man Minister of propaganda and thus head of the newly "nazified" German film industry, the sardonic Joseph Goebbels liked Renata Müller enough to insist on the continuation of the relation. Using all kind of pretexts, she managed to escape this unwholesome fate and continued to appear in a series of popular, if lightweight, potboilers, mainly musicals. But Goebbels, who had her placed under constant surveillance by the Gestapo, kept pestering her to appear in propaganda films and she finally gave in, starring in the blatantly anti-Semitic Togger (1937). The situation made her a nervous wreck and in October 1937 she checked into a clinic, ostensibly for treatment of a knee injury. She never returned and was found on the pavement of an hotel where she was staying. Renate Müller's death on October 10, 1937 was in all likelihood a suicide and proved a public relations disaster for the regime in general and Goebbels in particular. To counteract the public's negative reactions, the ministry of propaganda spread rumors that she had become addicted to morphine, that she was an alcoholic and mentally disturbed, but no one really doubted that Müller was driven to her early death by Goebbel's lackeys in the Gestapo. Her sister always maintained that she died of post-operative complications. |
In 1943, after consistent painful research and interviews with German refugees, American psychiatrist Walter C. Langer (2) wrote a "Psychological Analysis of Adolph Hitler, His Life and Legend". Based on his past clinical experiences and what he heard from his interviewees, one of his main conclusions was that, "Herr Hitler was a sexual pervert of the worst specie who could reach orgasm and sexual gratification only when observing his partners defecate and urinate." |
| The Fuehrer of Clay. This porcelain caricature of Hitler was made in the 30s and was auctioned off in 2002 in England (asking price was 1,500 Pounds). It conjures up very well the nature of Hitler: an ambiguous young man transformed from a shy adolescent into a crazy pervert indulging himself into S&M thanks to 4 years of war and 20 years of unassimilated readings. Would it not be for million of human life slaughtered because of him from 1933 to 1945, we would feel sorry for this poor Hitler creature. |

| Geli Raubal was probably the real love of Hitler but he locked her up out of jealousy and she committed suicide |

| According to Ernst Hanfstaengl, Hitler foreign press attaché, Geli Raubal was not far from being a little slut, extremely lazy and untalented but submissive to Hitler's fantasies until she got too upset and had an affair with a Jewish artist who made her pregnant. Furious, Hitler would have pushed her to suicide. |

| A third suicidal woman who got too close to her Fuhrer was Maria Reiter (picture right) . Nicknamed, Mitzi, she was the daughter of one of the co-founders of the German Social Democratic Party (SDP). Mitzi got into an infatuation about Hitler that drove her crazy. Hitler's comments of this sort might have been attractive to her : "I cannot be mistaken. What I do and say is historical". From the first time Mitzi met Hitler (while exercising her sister's dog in Kurpark gardens, in 1926), the poor woman was literally fascinated. She later visited Hitler in his Munich apartment and the friendship developed to the point that she often asked him to marry her. Hitler always refused her. In 1927, when Mitzi heard that Hitler was involved in a serious affair with his niece, Angelika "Geli" Raubal, blind jealousy drove her to attempt suicide; She failed. |
His eyes contain fury and fanaticism In 1930, Mitzi Reiter married an innkeeper in Innsbruck and divorced him some years later. Her second marriage was to SS Hauptsturmfuhrer, Georg Kubish. In 1938, Mitzi met Hitler again, and when Kubish was killed at Dunkirk during the French campaign, Hitler sent her 100 red roses. There was no further contact between them, but after the war, Maria Reiter Kubish lived for a while with Hitler's sister Paula. Another infatuated young woman was Martha Dood (1908-1990), daughter of the American ambassador to Berlin (1933-1938), Prof. William Dood, who publicly ironized that his daughter "was in love with the Fuhrer". Of her first meeting with Hitler, Martha said, " his eyes could contain fury and fanaticism and cruelty; they could be mystic and tearful and challenging." This particular afternoon, she thought, "Hitler seemed excessively gentle and modest in his manners. |
| Englishwoman Unity "Bobo" Mitford, eventually got crazy about Hitler; to the point she shot herself in the head on the day of declaration of war. She failed to kill herself and Hitler had her rapatriated by special train to England. She died in 1948. There was never any hint of a romatic affair between the two. |

| Hitler would have had an affair with 16-year-old Mitzi Reiter when he was 39 in 1929 before to meet Geli and Eva. She was crazy about Hitler but never left any confidences about their affair. Here she is pausing at the Berghof in Berchtesgaden in a very relax attitude |
| Unobtrusive, communicative, and informal, he had a certain quiet charm, almost a tenderness of speech and glance. She was quite enthralled by the Nazis and Hitler. She went as far as to socialize with numerous of Nazi leaders, even with the sinister Rolf Diels, founder of the Gestapo. She was so naive that she said about him," I am convinced that he was, and is, no more of a Nazi than many of the others who give lip-service to it for their various personal or political reasons." (sic). American naivety in foreign policy is well known; Americans remain optimistic until they are brutally made aware by horrific circumstances. Eventually, Martha Dood's presence into such intimate Nazi circles was frowned upon by some Nazis dignitaries: Goering started the gossip that she had "red" sympathies and was a Communist. At this point, legend has it, Martha was so disappointed she sliced her wrist but the attempted suicide was covered up. Others said that she was so totally disillusioned with the regime that she tried to take her life. In 1938, back to the USA, she had recovered enough to marry into a Jewish financial family and become the wife of investment broker Alfred Kaufman Stern. In 1939 she published a book about her experiences in nazi Germany titled "Through Embassy Eyes". In this book, she distanced herself from her earlier infatuations and lashed out at the Nazis with the all the convictions of an ex-dupe. After the war, the always gullible Martha, became active in left wing politics; working closely with Vassili Zubilin, the second secretary of the Soviet Embassy in Washington. In 1953 such association, however, attracted the attention of the McCarthy House Un-American Activities Committee, which frightened the Sterns into fleeing to Mexico City, Cuba and in 1957 to Prague, where Stern died in 1986 and his restless wife, Martha, in 1990. Goering was right after all. |

|
| A clique of american industrialists Martha Dood's father, William Dood, (who was a brilliant academic but was almost as naive as his daughter) also took some time to recognize the horrors of the Nazi regime. In 1937, William Dood (picture right below with his family), eventually denounced in a note to Washington, "the Nazis and a clique of American industrialists who are prone to do anything to impose upon our democracy a fascist regime and are also collaborating with similar regimes in Germany and Italy...Some of our most powerful families in the USA are extremely close to the Nazi regime." After a personal meeting with Hitler, he wrote in his diary, "the Hitler regime is composed of rather inexperienced and very dogmatic persons, all of whom have been more or less connected with murderous undertakings in the last eight or ten years. It is a combination of men who represent different groups of the present German majority, not an actual majority". Dood's later views were never taken seriously by the FDR team, he failed to attract consideration from the President and he became the mockery of Roosevelt's State Department. He died in 1940 totally disillusioned and bitter. |
| Hitler had no idea that his favorite sculptor Arno Breker could execute sensual statues of this kind. This one was made after ww2. In 1936, he probably would have declared this work "entarte art" or decadent |

| Magda Goebbels, the woman whom the Fuehrer needed The list is not over. One of the most infatuated Hitler's admirers was the handsome and ambitious Johanna Maria Magdelene Goebbels, married from 1921 to 1929 to Gunther Quandt, chairman of the board of the potash firm Wintershall and owner of Accumulatoren-Fabrik AG (AFA), Bayerish Motor Werken (BMW) and since 1928 of large-scale munitions manufacturer Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken (DWM). Quandt was one of the first NSDAP financiers as soon as 1930, along with Dr. Kurt Schmitt, General Director of Allianz und Stuttgarter Verein Versicherungs AG insurance firm and August von Finck, chairman of the supervisory board of the same company. Madga divorced Gunther Quandt in 1930 with a monthly alimony of 4,000 marks to marry in December 1931 the diminutive and club-footed Paul Josef Goebbels, Nazi Propaganda Direktor. (3) |
| The Dodd family at their arrival in Berlin: a typical and naive american family full of good intentions |
Otto Wagener , chairman of the Economic Policy Committee until 1933 and confidant of Hitler, wrote in his notes written in prison after the war (4), that he actually asked Magda Quandt to marry Goebbels to get closer to the Fuhrer who needed a "woman like her." She was too happy to jump on the bandwagon and to become the mentor of her Fuhrer and Germany's First Lady. Hermann Goring hated her and called her "Goebbel's Madame Pompadour". Some historians pointed out that she would have carried out shameless blackmail practices against her former husband and that she eventually became Hitler's mistress. This is very doubtful because Hitler intervened often between Magda and her husband, who was a terrible womanizer, in view to patch up a marriage that was constantly on the brink of breaking up. Goebbels met her when he was tutor of her son Harald. Another of her sons, Helmut, born in 1935, was be said to be Hitler's son. But it is doubtful. |

| This beautiful face belongs to Johanna Maria Magdelene Quant who loved Hitler and married (picture below) the clubfooted and ugly Paul Josef Goebbels to get closer to Hitler but love was platonic. She too committed suicide in 1945. She wanted to divorce Goebbels who was a contemptuous and cynical womanizer but Hitler opposed the idea and she yielded in to the will of her Führer. She was particularly distressed by the fact she had, accordingly to Goebbels's wishes, to "suicide" her kids. |
| The Goebbels' wedding was a great Nazi event of the 30s. On the right, Magda's son from her first marriage to Herr Quandt |

| The Goebbels kids, Helga (1932), Hildegard (1934), Helmut (1935), Hedwig 1937), Holdine (1938) and Heidrun (1940), died in 1945 from poison by their mother. Only Harald, son of Herr Quandt, escaped the massacre. |
| Gorgeous Leni Riefenstahl too was fascinated by Hitler but smartly enough she refused every one of his timid passes |
| The young woman who paid most dearly for the privilege of becoming the Fuhrer's mistress was the daughter of his half-sister Angela, the beautiful but rather silly Angelika Raubal, aka Geli. Here we get into the dark realm of incestuous love affairs that is not always pleasant. Geli was a lively witty young woman and Hitler seemed totake some perverted sadistic pleasure trying to break her. Geli and her mother Angela came to Munich in 1924 to tend to Hitler's household but in 1929 Hitler and Geli moved in a new home and started an affair. According to every testimony, Hitler fell terribly in love with Geli and he developed a rabid jealousy for his niece culminating with Geli being almost imprisoned in semi-seclusion. Permanent seclusion, constant jealousy (which tend to be one of the more prevailing and most odious traits of Hitler's character) and finally, the masochistic obsessions of her uncle/lover pushed Geli to try to escape by being engaged to Emil Maurice, Hitler's chauffeur, but Hitler thwarted the attempt. Later she had an affair with a Jewish artist who would have made her pregnant. Then she begged Hilter for her freedom. As soon as 1943, Walter C. Langer (2) pretended that Hitler forced Geli to submit to perverse sexual sessions including defecation and urination. This perversion of Hitler was confirmed by other sources, and notably, by Geli herself who often complained that "Hitler wanted to see me crouched down upon him in order to see everything." |

| Angelika Raubal, niece and mistress of Hitler, is alleged to have shot herself in the chest with Hitler's own handgun. She was supposedly upset with Hitler sexual habits and tired of being his reclusive lover. The other theories tell that Hitler shot her because she wanted to drop him or that he pused her to suicide. According to Christa Schroder, Hitler's secretary, she shot herself in the mouth because she had discovered a love letter to Hitler from Eva braun. She was 23. |
| Geli committed suicide on the 2nd floor of this building which is now Munich Police offices |
| The relationship between Hitler and Geli came to a head in September 1931, Geli is said to have begged Hitler to let her return to Vienna. Hitler refused. There are two theories presented for what occurred after Hitler denied Geli's request to leave his house: the first theory argues that Geli shot herself with Hitler's handgun, the other theory maintains that Hitler killed her in the heat of a convulsive rage; probably by accident. Ernst Hanfstaengl, Hitler's foreign press secretary, wrote in his Memoirs that Hitler probably told Geli that she should commit suicide because she was pregnant. Hitler's secretary told once David Irving (6), British-born Revisionist, that she was sure Geli committed suicide because she found a letter of love to Hitler written by Eva Braun. According to Otto Wagener, Head of the Economic Policy Committee of the NSDAP until 1933, Hitler was on a train between Munich and Saalfeld when the accident occurred and he went back to Munich the next day, just in time for the autopsy, "for several days, he shunned all company," wrote Wagener. (4) |
| Some days later, Hitler declared to Wagener that "he had overcome the urge to physically possess a woman" and he stressed "the value (he had) placed on the loving hand of a female being who was close to (his) heart". (4) Did he ever possessed one ? To me, these comments are purely glib-talk, speaking much of the hypocrite and pedant who hid his jealousy and possessiveness behind nice speeches : it was a prank of the comedian Führer aiming at impressing his entourage and gullible aids, like Wagener who until 1933 was convinced that Hitler was a genius. It is interesting to note that Wagener's viewpoint of Hitler changed when he lost the favor of the Führer. |

| Contradictory testimonies Historian John Toland (7) is convinced that Hitler suffered from a rabid jealousy but was not Geli's lover. In his book "Flight from terror" published in NYC in 1943, Otto Strasser, brother of Gregor Strasser, both early stalwarts of the Nazi party, stated that the death of Geli was murder and that strong evidence of the murder was collected by Herr Gehrlich, editor of the German newspaper "Der Richtig Weg"; Gehrlich was subsequently killed. Furthermore, Strasser wrote that in 1939, while in exile in Paris, he got a phone call from a man who told him that a certain Father Pant (whom Strasser knew) had given Geli last Christian rites because he knew that she had not committed suicide. |
| The film Das blaue Licht was Leni Riefenstahl's award-winning directorial debut. In fact, she not only directed, but co-wrote, edited, produced and starred in the film. After the war, Leni tried to direct several movies but her talent as a film director did not impressed the German public anymore. |
| In his book, "Hitlers Frauen", German author Guido Knopp denies that Hitler and Geli ever had sex and were only platonic in their relations; thus he excludes Geli from the gallery of six portraits he titled Hitler's Women : Eva Braun, Magda Goebbels, Winifred Wagner, Leni Riefenstahl, actress Zarah Leander and Marlene Dietrich. Historian John Toland makes the same assessment in his biography of Hitler (7). It seems a strange assumption in so far as Hitler did not have sex with Dietrich, Riefenstahl or Winifred Wagner unless Knopp's parti-pris is that to qualify as Hitler's woman you had to be successful and already famous. Poor Geli would perhaps have qualified if uncle Adi would have let her have her chance. In any case, Geli's testimony is not the only one to have mentioned weird sexual practices. |
| Another historian, Robert Leckie, wrote in "Delivered from Evil" (8) that Hitler and Geli were not "intimate" and that Hitler only appointed himself "guardian" of Angelika. Leckie joined with Knopp to say that "Hitler was normal in his sexual appetites, merely sublimating them through his ferocious political activities." Well, some people would not see water at sea.... The troubling fact is that Geli was buried on the 23 September 1931 at the Viennese central cemetery according to Catholic rites what leads us to suppose that the clerical authorities suspected something. The Catholic church does not allow suicides to be buried with the last rites. In her dubious "Memoirs", Bridget Hitler reported that her son Patrick William confided to her that Leo Raubal had once declared to William that he knew Hitler had killed his sister Geli. |

| Hitler had a very good relationship with his half-sister Angela Raubal until they fell off in 1936 over a mere question of land and her bossy way to run the Bergof household. |
| The straw that broke the camel's back Murderer or not, Hitler was very affected by the death of Geli. According to Otto Wagener (4) and his ear doctor, Dr. Giesing, Hitler became a vegetarian after Geli's death. According to Otto Strasser who knew Hitler since 1919, the Führer was vegetarian as soon as 1919. Vegetarian since the end of the war or not, Hitler had constant stomach problems after years of bad diet in Vienna, was of a frail nature, suffered from lung deficiencies and became a permanently sick man as soon as the early 30s until his real death in 1945. Geli's death in 1931, his accession to power in 1933 and the war in 1939 rapidly deteriorated his health, mentally and physically. At the onset of WW2, Hitler was already semi-incapacited to bear the tension of the conflict. And as revisionist historian David Irving's "Hitler's War" (6) shows very well Hitler took in stride the most alarming news of the conflict to the stupefaction of his Generals and threw fits of convulsive rage for the most menial incident. Hitler had developed a sort of insensitivity to other people's travails but could not bear the lesser contradiction or disagreement. Albert Speer said after the war that "there was something insubstantial about Hitler. It seemed that his seizures of violence could come upon him all the more strongly because there were no human emotions in him to oppose him. He simply could not let anyone approach his inner being because that core was lifeless, empty." (9) |
| In 1929, he met the frivolous Eva Braun who was the assistant of his personal photographer Heinrich Hoffmann and another suicidal creature. Eva had already tried to commit suicide before meeting Hitler and she literally threw herself on Hitler's neck to draw his attention. For many months, Hitler just ignored her (10). Eva Braun : the real cause of Geli's death According to American writer, Ron Hansen, who published in a very interesting fiction book about the Hitler/Geli love affair titled "Hitler's Niece" (Harper Collins, 1999), Eva Braun was Hitler's mistress before Geli's death. This might be only fictional but Hitler and Angelika's relationship and the descriptions of their respective psychologies makes fascinating reading. In a book published in France in December 2004 (10), Christa Schröder's interviewer Alfred Zöller wrote that Frau Schröder was convinced that Geli found a letter by Eva Braun in Hitler's pocket in which she declared her love to the great man. Desperate by the supposed treason of her uncle, Geli persuaded that Eva was already the mistress of Hitler decided to take her life. A Germanic beauty with reddish cheeks, Eva Braun (1912-1945) lived 12 years in the shadow of her great man. Nothing is known of their sex life but it is a miracle this poor woman was able to stomach 12 years of Hitler's sado-masochism unless, as many pretend, they had no sex life at all. She sometimes complained that she "did not get much from Hitler" to her friends. However, Eva might have found some compensation in the idleness Hitler kept her, even if she was most of the time shut away from the view of important personages and did get some good jewelry from him. At the Berghof however, she was the Mistress of the house and enjoyed the company of Nazi dignitaries and of some of her friends. Eva's existence was a revelation to the German people at the end of the war. You can see a short video of her "life" here and here. |

| This sketch of Geli by Hitler does not display a huge talent but let suppose that the uncle and the niece had more than familial relations |
| The two sisters Braun, Eva and Gretl, almost looked alike but Gretl seemed to have been smarter. Eva met Hitler in 1929 at Hoffmann's studio. She became Hitler's mistress in 1932, a short while after a second attempt at suicide, according to some, in order to draw Hitler's care and attention. Her simple suicide ploys worked and Eva lived with Hitler, and in his shadow, for the rest of her life. Eva's third suicide attempt in 1945 was successful. |
| Eva Braun was assistant to Heinrich Hoffmann, official photographer of the NSDAP (card member # 427)(left on pic next to General SS Sepp Dietrich). Hoffmann became homosexual after his divorce and was said to be infected with gonorrhea. Eva stayed close to her sister Gretl and, in spite of her parents' disapproval, she remained faithful and close to Hitler until the end. Her sister Gretl married in June 1944 Hermann Fegelein (1906-1945), SS Gruppenführer and lieutenant general of the Waffen SS, who fled the bunker in April 1945 and was arrested on Hitler's orders for treason and shot in the garden of the Foreign Office in Berlin by a squad of the Waffen SS. |
| According to Dr. Theo Morell, Hitler's personal doctor after 1936, Eva and her lover-Führer were sexually involved but not frequently and slept in separate bedrooms. Hitler's housekeeper at the Berghof said on TV that Adolf and Eva never had sex and used the testimony of his wife who swore that the bed's sheets of the couple were never stained. A woman of little intellectual abilities, frivolous and immature, Eva was a docile partner, satisfied with her collections of jewel boxes, fashion dresses and delicate underwear. She moved into the Chancellery just before the war and was barely noticeable. Hitler showed little consideration for her feelings but according to Traudl Junge's Memoirs (5), he always was considerate and amiable to her, although often pulling her leg for one thing or another. She dressed quietly but with good taste and wore the semiprecious stones that Hitler gave her for her birthday. She was sports-loving and a good dancer and had a good sense and eye for the facts of every day life but she had few occasions to show it, except at the Berghof where she could exert a discreet influence upon Hitler. Few people were ever aware of her existence and it is only in 1945 that the world learned about her relationship with Hitler. However, as soon as 1943, Walter Langer in his report to the OSS, mentioned that one of Hitler's bodyguards has fallen in love with Eva: however, scared to death by the idea of hunting in a reserved domain, the unfortunate fellow is supposed to have thrown himself through a window to his death. Nobody except OSS personnel and FDR read this report and Eva went unnoticed until her death; which we supposed occurred some minutes only after her marriage to Hitler. It is only in his last last will that Hitler the lover paid some attention to his last minute spouse. A dud in the bag or a neuter Last but not least, American journalist P.J.Huss wrote in 1942 that Hitler had for 12 years an affair with Theresa von Thorn, daughter of an old aristocratic Prussian family who literally tossed their sibling into Hitler's arms. The Thorns were Nazi supporters from the early days and visited Hitler regularly in Munich or in Berchtesgaten; these allegations have never been verified. Now, what is the truth about Hitler's sexual life ? It is anyone's guess. Some swear he was a dude in the bag. Some, like Langer, are convinced he was a maniac and a pervert prone to scatology. Marlene Dietrich thought Hitler was impotent. Many people believe that Hitler was a repressed homosexual. Some people think Hitler was homosexual and not repressed at all, because he would have been the lover of Ernst Rohm, leader of the SA. As the French say : "On ne prête qu'aux riches." To think one second only that Hitler might have been the lover of the repulsive Röhm is really a complete misunderstanding of Hitler's mind. Röhm and his henchmen (of which a lot were gays) disgusted Hitler but as long as he needed them, Hitler supported the SA and their vociferous repulsive leader. It was only when the SA started to dissent about the "rightist" policies of the Reich and became a threat to him, that Hitler (pushed by Himmler and Goering) decided to do away with them. On the 1st of July 1934, after declining Hitler's order to commit suicide, Rohm, was shot by SS-Brigf. Theodor Eicke and/or SS-Stubaf. Michael Lippert at Stadelheim Prison, Munchen. Some months earlier, the nice Fuhrer of Germany had written Roehm a touching letter: "I thank you my dearest Ernst, for the service which you have given to the National Socialist Movement and the German people, and to assure you how very grateful I am that I am able to call such men as you my friends and fellow fighters." It is a well known fact, that Hitler was very affected by Roehm's death; just one more evidence of the man's sickness. Dr. Morell : "Herr Reich Injection Master" Favorite past-time of Adolf become Führer, the reading of "Der Stürmer", anti-semitic magazine owned by Julius Streicher, some Rupert Murdoch of the 30s, who fought the Jews and the bourgeoisie. Streicher's QI was 103. Anyway, if we believe Fraulein Renata Müller's and Angelika Raubal's (who both committed suicide) testimonies, Hitler's erections had to be encouraged in very special ways and his sexual fancies were more than weird. Dr Theo Morell used to administer his patient with heavy doses of Orchikrin to the point that Goering used to sarcastically call him "Herr Reich Injection Master". This medicine was made of extracts from seminal testis and prostates of young Hungarian bulls to promote potency and relieve exhaustion. |
Before to get into trouble and to be remplaced by Dr. Stumpfegger, Dr. Morell gave Hitler massive doses of Prostakrinum used to combat genital hypoplasy (a condition of arrested development in which an organ or part remains below the normal size or in an immature state) and finally injected him with liquid Testosterone, an androgenic hormone primarily responsible for normal growth and development of male sex and reproductive organs, including the penis, testicles, scrotum, prostate, and seminal vesicles. Eva Braun used to say that Dr. Morell was disgusting and his office was like a pigsty. Hitler thought Morell was a "Superman". Above all, what seemed to have particularly upset Hitler's opponents during this period was the general atmosphere of pornography and homosexuality prevalent around the Führer. To them it was all the more shocking that Hitler was always presented as a decent man, declaring homosexuality as "against nature". In his anti-Nazi propaganda book published before the war, Rauschning wrote of Hitler that, "nothing in his entourage is normal, natural or true". This decadent ambiance is magnificently depicted in Ron Hansen's book, (Hitler's niece), a book that should be read in order to have a better glimpse into the 3rd Reich's Germany. In his Memoirs, Albert Speer who can be considered as one of Hitler's rare close friends, does not mention such a filthy atmosphere and suggests that Hitler was not interested in sex or women because he was too involved in politics. |
| Brutality is respected Things got so disgusting around Hitler that Goebbels and Himmler could not take it anymore and wanted to exterminate the S.A. movement. To appease their furor and quench the SA red tendencies and the fact that Röhm planned a growing role for his SA at the expense of the Reichswehr, Hitler -with the tacit support of the Army- eventually consented to the S.A. extermination. Hundreds of SA members were murdered on the Night of the Long Knivesas well as Catholics who had nothing to do with their depravity. In conclusion, I do not see why the reality of Hitler's sexuality -whatever it was- should explain everything about Nazism in this period of our history. As Langer wrote, as soon as 1943, "the image Hitler created was a form of compensation for his own inferiorities, insecurities and guilt. Consequently that image negated all his former qualities and turned them into their opposites to the same degree. All the human qualities of love, pity, sympathy and compassion were interpreted as weaknesses and disappeared in the transformation." Then Langer continued by saying, "in their place we find what Hitler' s warped mind conceived to be the super-masculine view", and Langer quoted Hitler saying: "Brutality is respected; Brutality and physical strength. The plain man in the street respects nothing but brutal strength and ruthlessness. We want to be the supporters of the dictatorship of national reason, of national energy, of national brutality and resolution." How is it that millions of Germans did not distance themselves from a man with such utterances ? |
| Does it take an impotent, a sexual maniac, a perverted monorchid to voice such ideas and undergo such transformations ? I doubt it. Hitler might have been sexually under gifted but he was oratorically over-gifted and his real monstrosities laid elsewhere; in the total absence of compassion, his vanity, his malignant jealousy, his cruelty, his meanness and his terrible pride. It is difficult with so many appalling attributes to enjoy life, sexually or mentally and difficult to look at a female partner with sheer pleasure and envy, difficult not to be tempted into cruelty and deviousness. Difficult, in one word, to be anything but mad. Hitler's sentimental and sexual life was a sad clone of his psyche: chaotic and destructive. One feels almost sorry for the poor man who could not simply enjoy a nice erection. In the end, one can not prevent some smart exegetes like Herr Knopp to think and write that "Hitler's problems with women came from the mystical idea of his destiny and his devotion to politics." But I personally doubt that it was the source of his monstrous behavior with women who got to close to him. |

Wulf Kansteiner, Assistant Professor, Director of Graduate Studies, PhD (1997) at UCLA once said that Knopp provides "history pornography". German historian Joachim Käppner is very critical of Knopp's book Der Jahrhundertkrieg that accompanies a TV serie realized by Knopp. (2) A Psychological Analysis of Adolph Hitler, His Life and Legend, Walter C.

Released from jail in Austria in December 2006, Irving is hated by most historians and persecuted by British and Austrian authorities for being a Revisionist. His sources are often German and very credible ; he speaks good German and he had access to informations that other historians neglected, under considered or simply were not able to deal with. For a long period of time, he was branded a serious historian. Since 1945, Allied historians have too often considered that no German source of information could be credible, even documents from the Nazi administration or the Wehrmacht :it was not Irving's case and he put to light a lot of unknown or ignored facts about WW2. Irving has disturbed the concert of the mono-sourced historians of the Anglo-Saxon World and frequently brought to the surface disturbing facts. But he got himself into trouble with "Hitler's war" where he pretended that Hitler knew nothing about the Holocaust. Dubbed as a Holocaust denier by an American scholar, he sued Deborah Lipstadt before a British Court : he made a fool of himself and lost the case. He might be prejudiced and lying in numerous other instances but his "Hitler's war" is based on the personal diaries of Hitler's Generals, Wehrmarcht's archives or souvenirs of their widows. Though "Revisionist" in its denial of Hitler's knowledge of the extermination of the Jews, it is a remarkable book that everybody should read. Irving was released from an Austrian jail in December 2006 where he was arraigned for breach of interdiction to set foot on Austrian soil as a denier.

Desperate by the treason of her uncle, she decided to take her life. (NB) Questions to All Experts 20th Century |
| Maria "Mitzi" Reiter was totallyinfatuated with Hitler and tried to committ suicide in 1927 . The reality of her relationship with Hitler is a mistery. |
| Poor Goebbels' poor little kids She officially had six children with Goebbels: Helga (1932), Hildegard (1934), Helmut (1935), Hedwig 1937), Holdine (1938) and Heidrun (1940). They all died in 1945 poisoned by their mother : they were actually inoculated some lethal substance. According to Traudl Junge, Hitler's personal secretary, Helga had guessed what her parents were up to.(5) She was 13. Goebbels finally shoot himself while Magda bit down on her cyanide capsule. Harald who was already too old to be murdered in this horrible manner and was not living with his mother, escaped the massacre. After the war Harald became, with his half-brother Herbert, a prominent industrialist in Germany at the helm of the Bayerish Motor Werken (BMW) firm. Harald died in 1967, aged 46, in a plane crash in Southern France. Today, Herbert's daughter Johanna, born Johanna Bruhn, and her children Suzanne and Stefan, hold the biggest fortune in Federal Germany with assets estimated at $15 billions. Of all Hitler's women, the most famous and the most remarkable is the handsome Leni Riefenstahl (pic left below). Leni started her professional life as a successful dancer; then she turned to cinema (see picture to the right) and became NSDAP's official propaganda documentaries director although she always presented herself as a cineast and an artist. Leni spent several nights at the Chancellery with Adolf Hitler but she always maintained that she turned down his timid passes. Riefenstahl was stronger than Hitler, more balanced, more energetic and she did not care for Hitler's fantasies. Ever ambitious, she intelligently used Hitler's phantasms to secure for herself the best place in the Nazi Hall of Fame by constantly refused a place in Hitler's bed. This probably explains why she outlived Hitler by almost 50 years and went on to live an interesting albeit controversial life long after the Third Reich was left in ashes. |

| Hitler loved to get some rest and a breakaway from his military chores in his beloved house in Berchtesgaten in the Bavarian Alps |
| Ludwig Stumpfegger (1910-1945) was originally Himmler's doctor, but was transferred to Hitler after Theodor Morell got in trouble, and later sacked by Hitler. Morell died May 26, 1948 age 58 and Stumpfegger died during the bunker breakout on May 2, 1945, age 34, probably from suicide (cyanide pill). |
| Born in Munich, Germany in 1912, Braun was the daughter of a school teacher from a respectable Bavarian family. She was educated at a lyceum, then for one year at a business school in a convent where she had average grades, a talent for athletics and is said to have had the "dreamy beauty of a farmer's daughter". She was a good photographer |

| Heinrich Hoffmann (October 12, 1885 in Fürth - December 11, 1957 in Munich) was a German photographer. He joined the NSDAP in 1920 and was chosen personally by its new leader Adolf Hitler as his official photographer. Hoffmann became a constant companion and close friend of Hitler's, and by 1945 had taken over 2.23 million photographs of the Führer. He was an alcoholic and in the last years of the Reich had lost Hitler's confidence. |

| Theodor (Theo) Gilbert Morell (July 22, 1886 - May 26, 1948) was Adolf Hitler's personal physician from 1936 until his suicide in 1945. Morell was well known in Germany for his unconventional, holistic and alternative treatments. |
| At the end of the war, Don Juan was a nervous wreck deemed insane by doctors and psychoanalysts, one of them disappeared after having advised "mental asylum" for Hitler. |
| A worried Führer looked up checking on the possibility of allied bombing |
