Eva [Braun] liked to write cards and letters, she spent a great deal of time on this. She had lovely writing, lovely sets of stationary and she spent hours a day on her correspondence, at least later on.

[Eva Braun] complained when [Adolf Hitler] was absent, she complained that she was deprived of his company.

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.

Was [Adolf Hitler] rude to me? Never. He was always polite and well-mannered.
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 didn't discuss politics or military with Eva [Braun]. Not once.

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.

I am convinced that he loved Eva [Braun] and there is absolutely no question of her complete adoration of him. He was away all the time because his position demanded it. She couldn't travel with him because their relationship was supposed to be secret.

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
I saw a few lines from a few, there were hundreds of them, all [Adolf Hitler] letters and [Eva Braun] replies written on carbon paper. I just saw that her letters to him were lengthy, his were much shorter. I wouldn't intrude on their privacy and I had given her my word.
Gretl Braun
Love letters are supposed to be private. [Eva Braun] was very secretive about all that.

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.

[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.
Gretl Braun
[Adolf Hitler] was Austrian, so he knew how to play that role [being capable of apologizing]. In fact, it wasn't playacting, it was just part of who he was. He hated to see women cry or women upset.
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 never had disagreements with [Adolf Hitler], I never saw him in an unpleasant frame of mind.
Gretl Braun
When [Adolf] Hitler was in Munich, their place [with Eva Braun] to meet was always his apartment. Before that, it was at Hoffmann's place. They had their routine there, Hitler had his security there, it was a place he was used to. He never got used to the apartment he got us on the Widenmayerstraße .
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
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.
