cchartier 's review for:
Eva Braun: Life with Hitler
by Heike B. Görtemaker
A good overview of the few knowable facts and many claims about Eva Braun's life. There isn't much god evidence about her; most post-war statements and memoirs are self-serving and the author patiently sorts out what can safely be believed. Scholars who broadly generalized and defined the power of women in the upper echelons of the Third Reich are also taken to task. In many instances, these scholars believed the reports of Nazis desperate to keep their lives and livelihoods intact after the war when it came to the subject of women, while interrogating other claims.
At only about 250 pages (plus lots of notes), there isn't all that much about Evan Braun the person; instead it's a theory of what life was like in Hitler's inner circle (mainly hypocritical and cutthroat). It's still an interesting, if light, read.
