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.

More quotes by Gretl Braun
I have also seen [Adolf] Hitler upset when they had been having words. He was not immune from being bothered or upset by their relationship.
Gretl Braun
After [Adolf] Hitler took power, Hoffmann moved to a grander place on the Ebersbergerstrasse. I never saw the first house, I was never there. It was at the Schnorrstrasse that Eva [Braun] and he first really got to know each other. Some of this was before Geli Raubal's death, much of it was after that event.
Gretl Braun
I'm quite sure it happened in Berlin too when Eva [Braun] stayed there later on. I wouldn't know about that because I was scarcely ever there myself. I don't want to suggest she was crying all the time, but then they had their arguments, she was very downcast until she had cried it through. It happened on occasion.
Gretl Braun
Definitely they [Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun] argued, especially in the period we've just been talking about, the middle 1930's. They were like any other couple.
Gretl Braun
[Eva Braun] complained when [Adolf Hitler] was absent, she complained that she was deprived of his company.
Gretl Braun
It would have been inconceivable that Eva [Braun] would ever have criticized [Adolf Hitler] to me. To his face? Yes, she would, but to me or anybody in our family? Never. And woe to anybody who dared criticize him to her.
Gretl Braun
Sometimes [Eva Braun] would go back to his apartment to make up. At the Berghof, these arguments didn't last as long, [Adolf Hitler] would smooth her feathers and they'd be good together again. I doubt anybody else noticed this but me. It wasn't obvious.
Gretl Braun
[Wilhelm] Bruckner was one of [Adolf] Hitler's adjutants, very close to him and he'd been in the party probably since day one. Personally neither of us could stand him.
Gretl Braun
[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.
Gretl Braun
If [Eva Braun] was crying upstairs, it wouldn't be long before [Adolf] Hitler would quietly excuse himself and then make things right. What he said to her, I don't know. Whether he said the words I'm sorry, I don't know. But he was a charmer, he knew how to stop a woman from crying.
Gretl Braun
[Adolf Hitler] had stubborn ideas about clothes and didn't care how he looked and this drove [Eva Braun] up the wall.
Gretl Braun
Eva [Braun] loved [Adolf] Hitler and he was the only man in her life. She flirted and danced with other men but never would she have done more than that.
Gretl Braun
She [Eva Braun] was always complaining later on, I know nothing that's going on. They [with Adolf Hitler] talked about other things: dogs, movies, music, Munich gossip, who was going with who, who was cheating on their spouses, who was drinking too much or trying to quit. All sorts of local things like that.
Gretl Braun
Wagner festival was [Adolf Hitler] time with the Wagner family. [Eva Braun] asked once to attend but he forbade it and that was that, she never asked again.
Gretl Braun
Whatever anybody wants to say about my sister, [Eva Braun] was always beautifully dressed with a great flair for fashion. [Adolf] Hitler was not this way.
Gretl Braun
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.
Gretl Braun
When we were in the Munich house, sometimes [Adolf Hitler] would call the house line after one of their fights. They would talk and then Eva [Braun] would emerge from her room and behave normally.
Gretl Braun
I knew when they [with Adolf Hitler] had been fighting because Eva [Braun] always reacted the same way. She would lock herself in her bedroom and cry and cry, sometimes for a long time.
Gretl Braun
At the Berghof, it was almost like a family atmosphere there. We all ate meals together, watched films together before the war, listened to records, all those things. The same faces were always around on the mountain. If [Adolf] Hitler and Eva [Braun] had an argument there, it would have been obvious to me, because I knew Eva.
Gretl Braun
Was [Adolf Hitler] rude to me? Never. He was always polite and well-mannered.
