Hitler was flirting and courting Eva [Braun] I would say, but he was not serious about her yet. That took awhile to develop.

[Interminable monologues] became an issue only late in [Adolf] Hitler's life. He became repetitive after the war started going badly in Russia. He wasn't like this earlier on, he could be very funny in our small group, very relaxed, teasing and it was just a relaxed atmosphere.

When [Adolf] Hitler was in Munich, their place [with Eva Braun] to meet was always his apartment. Before that, it was at Hoffmann's place. They had their routine there, Hitler had his security there, it was a place he was used to. He never got used to the apartment he got us on the Widenmayerstraße .

She [Eva Braun] was always complaining later on, "I know nothing that's going on." They [with Adolf Hitler] talked about other things: dogs, movies, music, Munich gossip, who was going with who, who was cheating on their spouses, who was drinking too much or trying to quit. All sorts of local things like that.

Late in his life, that's another matter, [Adolf Hitler] was not the same man in 1944 and he was, say, in 1934.

[Eva Braun] would much rather have been at [Adolf ] Hitler's side. All those excursions were to fill up her time while waiting for him to return.

[Adolf Hitler] was always intensely worried about security and people watching or being nosy, intruding on his private life.
