Who Was Hitler's True Love?

World War 2 Question No. 7: Who was Hitler's true love?

Answer. It is difficult to speak of "Hitler" and "love" in the same sentence considering that he was responsible via World War 2 for the death of about 50,000,000 people. But Hitler had his shares of loves as most folks do.

His overall dealings with women is a little strange. As he rose to power, many women (including American and British women) throw themselves at his feet. Hitler appeared immune to these beauties. In most instances, he seemed to prefer plain German women, e.g., Eva Braun, to the many nordic beauties that were available to him.

But Geli Raubal was different. She was good looking and had a vivacious personality. Hitler fell in love with her and was quoted as saying Geli was the only girl he would have ever married (although he did marry Eva Braun on the last day of his life).

Geli was Hitler's niece by his half-sister, Angela, who served as his housekeeper. Hitler and Geli became virtually inseparable and Hitler, at first, took her everywhere with him. But Hitler's demands for total control of every aspect of Geli's life took a toll on the relationship. Also, jealousy problems arose. According to rumors circulated, Hitler was supposed to marry Winifred Wagner. This, apparently, was an unfounded rumor. On the other side of the coin, Geli's alleged affair with Emile Maurice, Hitler's body guard, did not help matters.

Geli began to revolt and threatened to leave for Vienna. Hitler ordered her not to go and he then left on Septermber 17, 1931 for a political meeting in Hamburg. On September 18, Geli was found shot to death in her apartment. It was an apparent suicide but this supposition has never been proven for sure. There are many other theories about her death. One theory is that Hitler killed Geli in a fit of rage. Another is that Himmler had her killed because the affair was damaging the Nazi Party. The bulk of evidence supports the suicide theory.

Some in Germany talked too much about the Hitler - Geli relationship and Geli's death. They lived (died?) to regret it. Father Bernard Stempfle, who helped Hitler edit Mein Kampf, talked too much about the Hitler - Geli relationship and was found dead with three bullets through the heart.

The cause of Geli Raubal's death is just another of the many mysteries that surround women that were close to Hitler. Most either committed suicide or attempted to commit suicide (or both!). Even the ever-loyal Eva Braun attempted suicide early in their relationship and finally actually commited suicide on the last day of their two lives. Magda Goebbles was very close to Hitler and she chose suicide (the day after Hitler's death) rather than live in a world without Hitler.

Hitler was strange but his women were almost as strange as he!

Was Hitler a Pervert?

Question 5: Was Adolf Hitler a Sexual Pervert?



Answer: During World War 2, the Allies started many rumors about Hitler for propaganda purposes. For example, when France surrendered, Hitler was shown over and over in the newsreels as apparently dancing a jig. After the war, the truth was released. The "jig" was actually the result of some fancy photo shop work by clever Allied intelligence.



Other rumors circulated about Hitler was that he had only one testicle (this was apparently supposed to prove that Hitler was not normal and, possibly, explain why he was so mad at the world) and also that Hitler was a sexual pervert.



Again, after the war, Hitler's doctors reported that Hitler had two testicles so he was not abnormal in that sense. Also, those persons closest to Hitler and to Eva Braun, Hitler's mistress and wife of one day, reported that Hitler's sex life was perfectly normal. Indeed, Hitler's sex life was so normal, it would be considered boring by today's standards.

Many German beauties (and some British and American women), threw themselves at Hitler and he could have had almost any women he wanted. Instead, he seemed to prefer "typical" German women such as the plain Eva Braun whom he seemed to genuinely care for.

Eva was his mistress for many years, but Hitler kept the affair from the German people because he did not want to upset their sensibilities (how conventional can you get?). When Hitler had big-wig visitors who did not know about his relationship with Eva, Eva was banned from the social gatherings. She often spent these "banned" periods talking with Albert Speer, a close associate of Hitler's, who had a genuine liking for her. When Hitler's inner circle had a social gathering, the ban was not in effect because they all knew about Eva. Eva could then join the close friends which often included Speer.

A possible evidence of perversion with Hitler was the Rebata Mueller incident. She claimed that while visiting Hitler at the Chancellery, he threw himself on the floor and begged her to kick him and inflict pain. The truth about this alleged event will probably never be known since Ms. Mueller apparently committed suicide shortly after the event was supposed to have taken place. (Her sister denied that Ms. Mueller committed suicide inferring that she was murdered.)

Hitler summed up his love life best when he told someone that he had had many disappointments in his love affairs. It appears that even when his love affairs were consummated, they were about as exciting as the love life of Ma and Pa Kettle.

Hitler was into power and not sex!
