In the years before the war, whenever [Adolf] Hitler would be holed up in Bayreuth, Eva [Braun], myself and our mother often went to Italy for a week.

[Adolf Hitler] had stubborn ideas about clothes and didn't care how he looked and this drove [Eva Braun] up the wall.

My father would never have come to visit, he detested Eva's [Braun] choice in a man and the fact [Adolf] Hitler had set her up in an apartment. To him it was deeply humiliating that she was living with a man at his own whim at an apartment he was paying for.

[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.

[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.

Love letters are supposed to be private. [Eva Braun] was very secretive about all that.

Was [Adolf Hitler] rude to me? Never. He was always polite and well-mannered.
