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

At the end, [Eva Braun] begged me to spare these letters [to Adolf Hitler] and bury them. She specifically wrote to me and told me over the phone not to read any of the letters, she made me promise.

It would have been inconceivable that Eva [Braun] would ever have criticized [Adolf Hitler] to me. To his face? Yes, she would, but to me or anybody in our family? Never. And woe to anybody who dared criticize him to her.

[Adolf Hitler] had a very definite charm which enthralled most people who got to know him.

[Eva Braun] did not want me to interrupt her or try to lift her spirits. She told me she had to go through these periods by herself.

[Adolf] Hitler didn't discuss politics or military with Eva [Braun]. Not once.

[Eva Braun] always called him der Führer to us. It was ridiculous, but she never changed that.
