In front of other people it was almost always "Fräulein Braun." Just as [Eva Braun] called him "der Führer," [Adolf Hitler] called her "Fräulein Braun."
Eva [Braun] and I were never involved in the financial aspects of where [Adolf] Hitler put her up.
Eva [Braun] wanted him [Adolf Hitler] to look his absolute best and he just didn't care.
[Eva Braun] would also refer to [Adolf Hitler] as "the boss" (der Chef), but she never called him "Adolf" or "Adi" to anyone after the very early days. It was always der Führer.
I knew [Eva Braun] wrote to [Adolf Hitler], I would see her writing to him and I would see her reading his notes or letters. She kept all that in a safe at the Berghof and nobody got near that safe except Hitler or Eva.
[Eva Braun] lived life with [Adolf] Hitler, when he was away, she just filled up her time without Hitler. That was the sum total of it, really.
[Adolf] Hitler didn't discuss politics or military with Eva [Braun]. Not once.
Eva [Braun] also cried when [Adolf Hitler] would leave her for long periods. She was inconsolable without him, that was a never-changing refrain.
[Eva Braun] would much rather have been at [Adolf ] Hitler's side. All those excursions were to fill up her time while waiting for him to return.
I didn't experience the negative side of [Adolf] Hitler. My sister [Eva Braun] did, that's a big distinction.
[Adolf Hitler] would wear whatever what was put in front of him. He didn't match his ties or his shoes with his clothes, it was as if he deliberately dressed in such a way as to get Eva to get upset. It was his form of teasing or perhaps of controlling [Eva Braun], manipulating her emotions.
Shortly after Eva's [Braun] second attempt at suicide, [Adolf] Hitler moved quickly, as we discussed already. I can't tell you how difficult it was for her living at the apartment of our parents. I wasn't happy there, but Eva was miserable, I can tell you that.
The negatives were [Adolf Hitler] political philosophies, but neither Eva [Braun] or I knew anything that was going on.
They [Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun] had their disagreements, it wasn't all sunshine and roses, but it isn't that way for any married couple.
The negatives about [Adolf] Hitler were that he was away a lot and couldn't behave towards Eva [Braun] as he should.
[Adolf] Hitler and Eva [Braun] jointly came to that decision, I think. Hitler wanted me there for security reasons and to keep Eva company, she wanted me there because we were both still very young. I was 20 years old, to live on my own would have been daunting. I wouldn't have done it and neither would she.
