Wagner festival was [Adolf Hitler] time with the Wagner family. [Eva Braun] asked once to attend but he forbade it and that was that, she never asked again.

This was all very early on, there was no romance between them then,[Adolf] Hitler was living with Geli Raubal and made a very big display over her, that she was his great love and so forth.

[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.

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

[Adolf Hitler] was an emotional man, he had tremendous highs and he could get low as well, I've seen it.

What [Adolf Hitler] felt deep inside he wasn't going to show to outsiders.

[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.
