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 Widenmayerstraรe .
Gretl BraunFor instance, [Adolf Hitler] would never have spent the night at the Widenmayerstraรe apartment. He visited it before we moved the furniture in, he visited maybe 4 times afterwards and he never spent the entire night.
Gretl BraunMore or less constantly [he tease he]. [Adolf Hitler] would tell her, "Oh Evi, you're getting so fat I can't dare be seen with you. You really need to reduce." Eva [Braun] would flew into a panic until he would laugh and reassure her.
Gretl BraunHitler was flirting and courting Eva [Braun] I would say, but he was not serious about her yet. That took awhile to develop.
Gretl BraunEva [Braun] liked to write cards and letters, she spent a great deal of time on this. She had lovely writing, lovely sets of stationary and she spent hours a day on her correspondence, at least later on.
Gretl BraunI wish I had [letters], can you imagine their value, and I don't mean merely financially. I am sure they were accidentally destroyed or that Schaub found them and destroyed them. [Adolf] Hitler didn't want those letters read by anyone but Eva [Braun] and had made that point clear in the course of the years.
