Hello Honorable Forum Members and Viewers,
Happy to See all these great photos...
I have only one correction to make, no offence to the
esteemed Mr. Lumsden, of whom I enjoy and still peruse
his excellent collector books, that the first photo of the post is Eva Braun with General Fegelein, and not Gretl.
One would easily glance and assume such a close pose would have to be Gretl. However, our clues are the dress (Gretl wore two dresses for this occasion, white lace at the berghof, and black formal with hat during the ceremony, this dress is shown corresponds with Eva's attire on this occasion.) Our other helpful clue is unfortunately, Eva's nose
....She had a more bulbous tip to her nose than Gretl...
Also, The closeness of Eva and Fegelein has been reported by The Fuehrer's Secretaries in their final statements and
remineces of Hitler's entourage.....Dara and others believed
that Eva was closer to Fegelein than History would like to
admit. They have even suggested that the posting of Fegelein to FHQ was quietly encouraged by Eva, and that the Execution of Fegelein in the bunker also corresponds with Hitler's silent jealousy at this upstart SS Kommander....
At any rate, Great Topic, Love the Forum and no disrespect to Robin.....
PS Really like the ones of Gretl's re-marriage in Munich..eerie.....
Remembering our Brave Troops, Praying the Come Home Soon and Safe,

Of course, you're right.
I put 2 and 2 together and got 5.
Looks like Fegelein was playing a very dangerous (if enjoyable
) game!Best regards, Robin.
