The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-06-09

haps for a simple, rather chunky Bavarian girl, but for the mistress of the dictator.
 The most sensational of the sui- cides was that of the young officer in Hitler's deaths head bodyguard, Sigmund Breuer, who leaped to his death from the towering Kehlstein Eagles nest, 1900 feet high on 8 crag in the Bavarian mountains. A camera on leather strap was loop- ed around Breuer's neck when they found his body on the rocks below the parapet and the official expla- nation was that he slipped while trying to get photograph from the cliffs edge. But l have evidence that Breuer, who had also been an employe of Heinrich Hoffmann, was taking what to a fanatical young Na1 was the logical way out when he and Hitler loved the same wo- man.
 Eva Braun does not share Q great many of Hitler's traits but she uTl- derstands them and has been able to give him more of the peace and comfort that wife means than any other woman he has met.
 Eva, like a good wife, buys him handkerchiefs, socks and pajaInas on his birthday and tries-with some success-to give him @ smarter ap- pearance.
 His First Pajamas
 On his 18th birthday, she bought for him at an unter den linden shop a dozen pairs of pajamaS which in- cluded some in blue and white stripes, the colors of her Bavarian homeland. They were the first paja- mas Hitler ever had worn. Pre- viously 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 as 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 ma terials, 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 Berchtesga- den- home, one of his adjutants would sneak a liqueur 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 at Berch- tesgaden. She is quiet, dresses nice- ly, if with no great style.
 Important To Hitler | Finding a normal adjustment with @ sympathetic woman was important to Hitler. It is well established that during his younger manhood he threw into violent campaign activity the energy which normally might have been expended in love affairs. Campaigning literally A hours a day. dreaming of a new Germany and a new Europe under German domination, he seems to have had neither time nor inclination for roc nance. Moreover, according to sound medical evidence he was pfy- sically q marked honaoSexual type. One sign of this revealed from his subconscious processes is that he al- most invariably turns in any general conversation (that is, one not devot. ed to specialized subject like mic litary campaign) to some subject be- traying his homosexual tendencies. This may consist of some observa- ton or question or his delight in the phallic symbolism of columns in ar" chitecture.
 Men He Likes
 Even today, Hitler wants tall clean-shaven. wavy- blond haired young men around him. These men are not themselves necessarily abe normal, but something in Hitler makes him demand this type. This does not mean that he excludes all other types. Many of his close as- sociates are quite different and 1t seems to have been Hess extreme masculinity. his beetled brow, his virility. that inyersely attracted him.
 Hitler never has allowed matters of personal conduct to be confused with a mans official affairs, Tn other words, what a man did in his pri- vate life didn't matter so long as he served the party well.
 When I asked man who was iil a position to know how Hitler could tolerate Gocbbels' amorous irregular ities, since Goehbels was ore of thG tOp-rank Nazis. he answered sim. ply "when Hitler was fighting the party battle lh the old days. DC needed men who co.''d help him. Hf didn't have time to sop and asl what arc your morals? Those were fantastic times and men were hard- driven: the demOralization that fol- lows war coI0red everything they did"
