On his forty-ninth birthday, she
bought for him at an Inter der
Linden shop q dozen pairs OF pa
jamas which included one In blue
and white stripes, the colors of her
Bavarian homeland.
They were the first pajamas Hit
Ter had ever worn.
Previously he. had worn old
fashioned night shirts.
Eva also urged him to have his
uniforms more smartly tailored,
but Hitler baked at any change
other than accessories such a.
shirts, neckties and socks.
Some of his uniforms are still
made OF English goods.
Since he has known Eva, Hitler
wears only silk underclothes and
lounging shirts, also Of English
materials, when not in uniform.
Eva Is fond of liqueurs, although
Hitler disapproves OF drinking by
women.
Often after he had left the
luncheon table in his Berchtes.
gaden home, one OF his adjutants
would sneak a liquer TO Eva when
she sat and talked with them for
a few minutes.
Fraulein Braun is fond OF skiing
and dancing and in the old days
she often tramped with Hitler al
Berchtesgaden. She Is quiet
dresses nicely, II with no great
style.
Hitler has never allowed matters
of personal conduct TO be confused
with a mail'x official affairs. In
other words, what a man did i'm his
private life didn't matter so long
as he served the party well.
When / asked q man who was in
a position to know how Hitler
could tolerate Goebbels' amorous
irregularities. since Goebbels was
one of the top-rank Nazis, he an
swered very simply:
when Hitler was fighting the
party battle In the old days, no
needed men who could help him.
He didn't have time 70 stop

sufficiency she could never really
penetrate.
Moreover, at least three young
men had attempted or achieved
suicide because of her, not so much
perhaps for q simple, rather
chunky Ravarisn girl. but for the
mistress Of the dictator.
The most sensational of the sui
cides was that Of the young officer

leaped to his death from the tow
ering' Kehlstein eagles nest. 1900
feet high on q crag In the Bavarian
Mountains.
A camera on a leather strap was
looped around Breuer's neck when
they found his body on the rocks
below the parapet and the official
explanation was that he slipped
while trying to get . photograph
from the cliffs edge.
But I have evidence that Breuer,
who had also been an employee Of
Heinrich Hoffman, was taking
what TO a fanatical young Nazi
was the logical way out when he
and Hitler loved the same woman.
Eva Braun does not share a
great many Of Hitler's traits but
she understands them and has been
able to give him more Of the peace

Europe, Hitler had time
and opportunity, for the first time
in his life, to find out about
women.
Hitler's occasional interest in
other women caused him some
trouble with Fraulein Braun.
Although she was seif-effacing
and ultra-considerate, in time as
her hold frightened and became
more permanent she resented his
attentions to other women.
She didn't like having him bring
a young American dancer all the
way across Europe In special air.
plane for one performance before
him.
She didn't like having him send
five-pound tins of coffee as Christ
mas presents to young actresses
(my wife and / knew personally
the recipient Of one such package), ,
with Smirking little note that ''in
view of the scarcity Of this COM
modify" CT would cost you $40 a
pound on the Black MarkeD the
young lady might be willing to
accept this modest quantity"
since he had been able to get a
certain amount of II.
Eva was jealous and made a
couple of Intellectual attempts at
suicide by slight but unconvincing
cuts of her wrists.
Hitler didn't slearn OF at least
one Of these attempts until weeks
afterward; his sychophants such
as Doctor Dietrich didn't dare tell
him for fear of getting him
wrought up.
There were weeks on end when
he didn't see her and an intimate
has told me that he goes for
at a time without paying
the slightest attention to women.
