Adolf Hitler's wife, Eva Braun, was a German model and actress who became the dictator's mistress and eventual wife. She met Hitler when she was working as a photographer's assistant at the Nazi party headquarters in Munich. Although their relationship was not made public, they were together for many years before getting married in 1945, just days before their joint suicide. Braun played a minor role in the Nazi regime and was largely overshadowed by her husband's more prominent cronies. However, she did accompany him on some key trips, including his notorious visit to Italy in 1938. After their deaths, Braun was largely forgotten until recently, when new interest in her life and relationship with Hitler has emerged.
