Gels Raubal (Raubal), (1908-1931), Hitler's cousin, daughter of his half-sister - probably the only person for whom Hitler had sincere love. They first met in 1925, and Hitler was immediately fascinated by the 17 - year - old blonde girl with a pleasant, quiet voice ...
V different time different people they asked the Fuhrer why he did not want to marry. Usually he replied that at any moment he could go to jail. Companions in the fight, probably, did not really believe such an explanation of the hard-core demagogue and cynic, and a version was born that Adolf Hitler was impotent, since he had one testicle.
The latter became clear only after, in 1945, SMERSH fighters found the charred corpse of Hitler and his young wife. With close friends, being in an exclusively male society, Hitler often spoke disparagingly about marriage.
In January 1942, he said, “What's the worst thing about marriage: it makes legal claims! Then it is much more correct to be able to put a stamp on every woman. The woman ... doesn't want anything else. "
The Fuhrer more than once ranted in a similar pseudo-Nietzschean spirit: “The world of a man is great in comparison with the world of a woman ... The world of a woman is a man. She thinks about something else only from time to time ... A woman can love deeper than a man. For a woman, this does not depend at all on the intellect. "
Despite the dismissive opinion about female intelligence and character, Hitler, according to eyewitnesses, made everyone believe that he considered her beautiful, admired her and worships her. He kisses the hand of every lady, according to the habit typical of the Austrians, even married secretaries.
Hitler never yelled at his typists, even when they made significant mistakes. He lets his subordinate ladies ahead of him, greets them respectfully and addresses them only as "my beauty" or "beautiful child."
In their presence, he never sits down first, although on occasion he does this even when receiving foreign statesmen, for example, when meeting with Neville Chamberlain and Edouard Daladier in 1938.
Many women, the German biographer of the Fuhrer Werner Mather testifies, who, before their meeting with Hitler, expected to see a fierce rude, left him, admiring and admiring him. In the presence of women, his guttural voice became soft and insinuating. In general, Hitler can be called a ladies' man who knew the true value of the fair sex.
Geli was young and fresh ...
All major scholars of Hitler's biography believe that the Fuhrer undoubtedly met and cohabited with many women during his life. Among them, Helena Bechstein, the wife of a piano manufacturer; Victoria von Dirksen, who was called “the mother of revolutions” by the National Socialists; Elsa Brookman is the wife of a well-known Munich publisher; Stephanie - Princess von Hohenlohe, divorced from Prince von Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schilling; Zhenya Gaug - sister of Hitler's chauffeur; Susie Liptauer - Hitler's countrywoman, former nun "Pia" (in the world, Eleanor Bauer); Martha Dodd is the daughter of the US Ambassador to Berlin, William Dodd; Lady Unity Valkyrie Mitford - daughter of Lord Ridsdale and sister-in-law of the leader of the British fascists, Sir Oswald Mosley; Inga Leigh is a former actress and last wife of Robert Leigh, as well as pretty actresses and dancers.
However, the great love The Fuhrer is usually called his cousin (daughter of Hitler's half-sister) Angela (Geli) Raubal. The young girl was 19 years younger than her “uncle Adolf” and immediately charmed him with her face and melodic voice.
In 1925, Hitler first saw Geli in Berchtesgaden, Bavaria, but then their relationship did not receive proper development. In the summer of 1928, Hitler rented the Wachenfeld villa from the widow of a Hamburg industrialist, which he later rebuilt as Chancellor of Germany, turning it into the huge luxurious Berghof mansion.
But in 1925 he needed a faithful housekeeper to run his bachelor household, and he decided to invite from Vienna his half-sister Angela Raubal, whom he trusted very much. The woman was accompanied by her two daughters: Friedl and 20-year-old Geli.
A charming young creature, the owner of beautiful blond curls, cheerful character and a pleasant voice, dreamed of becoming an opera singer and took vocal lessons, hoping that her uncle would help her make a career on the stage of the Vienna Opera House. For the sake of the beautiful eyes of his niece, Hitler abandoned all his previous hobbies.
Geli accompanied the Fuhrer everywhere, attending party meetings and conferences, rallies and processions, visiting restaurants, cafes, theaters, vernissages and museums with him. Probably, the presence of his sister embarrassed the couple - and they quite often retired during long walks in the mountains.
Uncle and niece turned out to be terrible jealous. Once Geli threw a wild scene and hysteria when rumors reached her that Adolf wanted to marry Winifred Wagner. Nazi number one, in turn, was jealous of Geli for his longtime bodyguard Emile Maurice, believing young man his rival.
Munich, 1929. Hitler, by that time a fairly wealthy person, decides to rent an apartment in the Bavarian capital on one of the most fashionable streets of Prinzregentstrasse, 16. One of nine luxurious rooms Hitler put Geli at full disposal.
Many old "comrades in the fight" did not approve of such a connection of their leader and later, already at the head of state, Hitler would publicly declare that he was "betrothed to Germany", and with his new passion, Eva Braun, he would practically not appear in public.
But while half a step remained before the indisputable leadership, the Gauleiter of Württemberg Eugen Munder "ran over" the leader, who demanded that the Fuhrer stop cohabitation and legalize his relationship in order to show everyone an example of a healthy German family, and not a Jewish concubine. Adolf parted with his true Aryan without regret, firing the implacable Gauleiter with a stroke of the pen.
Officials come and go, but the Fuehrer remains. Remains with Geli. His feelings are so strong that he certainly wants not just to get married, but to get married, and even decides to get permission from the church for marriage. After all, and the mother of his beloved is his, albeit a half-step, but his sister!
With Geli, Hitler really relaxed
The denouement came on September 18, 1931. Geli Raubal's body was found in her room. The girl was shot in the chest. The bullet entered below the left collarbone right into the heart. Police protocol dryly stated suicide. The crowd gossiped about the destruction of the ex-roommate by the hands of the killers of Heinrich Himmler. And for such a version, it seemed, there were grounds!
On the eve, Adolf and Geli had a big quarrel. The niece suddenly wanted to return to Vienna and continue her musical studies. Saying a categorical "no", Hitler drove off to the next election event. The next morning, Geli Raubal, allegedly pregnant from Hitler, shot herself.
Such a serious expert as the historian Werner Mather argues that there is no reason to doubt Geli Raubal's suicide. Let's believe him. Hitler will not forget his Geli until the end of his days. Immediately after her death, he wants to shoot himself, moves away from his surroundings, is in the most severe depression, suffers from remorse and since then will never touch meat dishes and food cooked with animal fat.
Geli was also a model for her uncle, a failed artist ...
The vegetarian Hitler commissions the sculptor Josef Torak to create a bust of Geli, which will later decorate the new Reich Chancellery. The artist Adolf Ziegler will paint her portrait, located in a place of honor and always decorated with flowers in a large room in the Berghof. Even in his handwritten will on May 2, 1938, Hitler does not forget his late mistress.
15 months after the death of Geli Raubal, Eva Braun also decided to commit suicide. But that is another story...

The personality of Adolf Hitler provokes lively discussions: the man who brutally killed millions of people and developed the inhuman ideas of Nazism was known as a connoisseur of women's hearts and a womanizer. Interestingly, in relations with the fair sex, there was no trace of aggression, cruelty and complacency: he was gallant and courteous. There were many names in his Don Juan list, but one of the most scandalous connections was the romance of the Fuhrer and his cousin niece.
Angelica Raubal (this was full name girls) was not Hitler's blood relative: she was the daughter of the Fuhrer's half-sister, Angels Raubal. Geli was 19 years younger than her "uncle", their first episodic meeting took place in 1925, and a few years later, Hitler asked his sister to live in his house as a housekeeper, and Angela agreed to move, taking her daughters with her - Friedl and Geli.
Geli at that time was 20 years old, the girl was engaged in vocals and dreamed of a career as an opera singer. Most likely, she sincerely hoped that her uncle would be able to protect her. The girl did not manage to conquer the opera stage, but she was able to win the heart of the Fuhrer. Hitler literally lost his head, fascinated by her beauty. Geli began to accompany him everywhere, she attended social events and party meetings.
According to some reports, during her life in Hitler's apartments, Geli had an affair with the Fuhrer's chauffeur, Emil Maurice. Adolf was jealous and did not want to forgive her such liberties, in general, the couple was known for stormy showdowns.
After a while, Adolf Hitler decides to live with his beloved, they move to a fashionable area at 16 Prinzregentstrasse. Here one of the 9 rooms belongs to a girl. The connection with Geli Raubal was not approved by Hitler's party associates, he was even asked to legalize the marriage in order to set an example for a real Aryan family. It is known that Hitler intended to marry Geli, despite the "kinship" relationship, but this was never destined to happen.
The ending of this romantic story came on September 18, 1931. The girl was found shot to death in her room. The official cause of death was suicide, but many were inclined to believe that Himmler's killers were involved in this death. On the eve of the incident, Hitler and Raubal had been sorting out the relationship for a long time, the girl even wanted to leave her lover and return to Vienna to resume abandoned music lessons. Historians claim that the woman who was shot was pregnant by Adolf Hitler.
For the sake of fairness, we note that the Fuhrer took her death hard, being depressed, refusing to eat and drink, it is known that he even tried to commit suicide. To perpetuate her image, Hitler commissioned a bust and portrait of Geli.
Geli never managed to marry Adolf Hitler, became Eva Braun.

For all the negative attitude towards this person, Hitler was also a man (if I may say so ...), which was characterized by ordinary human emotions and feelings. He, too, had women whom he loved, with whom he was romantically involved.
The most famous is Eva Braun, long time former lover Hitler. She became a wife almost a few hours before her death, they committed suicide together. But there were other women besides her ...
1. Eva Braun and Adolf Hitler on their last day: both weddings and deaths
2. First love - Maria "Mitzi" Reiter. She was 16, he was 37 in 1926. Adolf promised to marry her and provide her with many "fair-haired children." In general, an ideal family would have turned out, they would read in the evenings, play music, if by that time television had been invented, they could watch My Fair Nanny online for free. Fortunately, now we can all calmly review online all the episodes of our favorite series. But all this was supposed to happen later, when he fulfills his mission in life. The girl suffered from his inattention, tried to hang herself out of grief, but failed. Although she later married an SS officer. Later, Hitler's sister Paula said that only Mitzi could change Hitler's character and, possibly, keep him from losing his humanity.
3. Next was Angela "Geli" Raubal. She was the daughter of Hitler's half-sister and was his niece. This love was considered the most significant in Hitler's life. It is believed that they began a relationship when she was 17. Hitler acted as a powerful uncle and lover. The girl was kept under lock and key by him in a Munich apartment or in his villa near Berchtesgaden. True, many authors note that Geli did not have feelings for Hitler.
4. In 1931, when she turned 23, Raubal was found dead in an apartment owned by Hitler in Munich with a gunshot wound to her chest. Her death was declared a suicide. True, many say that most likely Hitler killed her as a result of a quarrel over her plan to move to Vienna. The bullet corresponds to Hitler's personal "Walter". Researchers note that after the death of Geli, Hitler became much tougher and no longer allowed people to come so close to him, as Hitler's personal photographer Raubal said in his memoirs that it was precisely this death that sowed the seeds of inhumanity in his soul.
5. A passing hobby - Erna Hanfstaengl. After the failed Beer Putsch in 1923, Hitler made a brief connection with Erna Hanfstaengl, who was older sister his friend Ernst Hanfstaengl. Although, according to other sources, Erna did not take seriously Hitler's flirting
6. Renata Müller, actress. Müller was very popular among the Nazis, she was perceived as the ideal of the Aryan woman. Renata replaced Marlene Dietrich in German cinema, who left for Hollywood from the Nazis. Renata, according to evidence, did not want to appear in propaganda films either.
7. In 1937 Renata fell out of the hotel window. She was then 31 years old, and suicide or homicide. Interestingly, director Zeissler talked about Mueller's confessions. According to her, she had a connection with Hitler, and a masochistic one. Hitler crawled at her feet, begging him to beat, all this was the only thing that could excite him. But her flight took place just a few days after this story, and before that, Gestapo agents came to the hotel.
8. Another death - Inga Lei. Inga was the wife of a Nazi party official, Robber Leigh. According to rumors, she had an affair with Hitler; her nude portrait hung in his apartment. Again, she committed suicide in 1942. Although it may have been due to drugs and depression associated with difficult childbirth
9. Unity Mitford is an English socialite who moved to Munich in the mid-1930s and quickly entered Hitler's circle. Hitler was crazy about Scandinavian myths, and her middle name was "Valkyrie", he called her the ideal of the Aryan woman.
10. Eva Braun was terribly jealous of Hitler for Unity Mitford. Eva complained in her diary that they laugh at her, Hitler's "official" mistress, that Unity looks like a real "Valkyrie, especially her legs." In her frustration, Brown attempted suicide, and Hitler began to pay more attention to her.
11. Like almost all of Hitler's beloved women, Milford also attempted suicide. True, the reason this time was the declaration of war by Great Britain on Germany. She shot in the temple with a pistol donated by Hitler, a pistol with a grip adorned with pearls. True, this suicide was not entirely successful, Unity survived and returned to England. She could not recover until 1948, the bullet went deep into the head and could not be removed, complications led to the death of the woman.
12. In 2007, an article appeared in the English magazine "The New Statesman", which indicated that Mitford was pregnant with Hitler when she returned to Britain and gave birth to a child in the hospital. This child, according to the author of the article, was given to foster parents.

Many articles have been written and written about the scandalous love affair of Adolf Hitler with his own niece Geli Raubal. We would not have touched on this painful topic if it were not for the extensive collection of photographs left behind by the love of the Fuhrer and his young mistress. This spicy family photo album is a must for every educated person to once again be convinced of the madness of the leader of the Third Reich, whose greatest love in life was a passion for his own niece (Geli is the daughter of the Fuhrer's half-sister Angela Raubal-Hitler).
There is information that even before the forbidden romance of the leader of National Socialism and yesterday's schoolgirl, Hitler's ancestors practiced mixed family marriages, but the Fuhrer, with his inherent mania for seizing foreign territories, went much further than his relatives and started an affair with his sister's underage daughter. And it really was a great fatal love, because after the suicide of his mistress, the politician fell into total depression, hid from prying eyes in an apartment that had recently been a love nest, and frightened his comrades-in-arms with ideas to commit suicide and go after his beloved Geli. Only the party and the sacred mission of spreading the Reich to the whole world were able to force Adolf to return to business. What happened next, everyone knows.
Hitler and Geli and Raubal photo:
On September 18, 1931, the body of a young woman with a bullet wound in the region of the heart was found in one of the rooms of a fashionable Munich apartment. The investigation was quick and established the cause of death - suicide. Soon the name of the tenant of the apartment was revealed - the party leader of the NSDAP Adolf Hitler, who lived in 15 rooms with his late niece.The close relationship between the young girl and her domineering uncle began during their school years. Over time, Hitler and Geli Raubal became lovers, that from the strict public (a difference of 19 years) they covered themselves with the title of housekeeper, which the girl received after moving to the Munich apartments of the future Fuhrer.
The influence of the politician on an illiterate relative grew until it reached critical point when both lovers started a relationship on the side. Hitler had already begun an affair with Eva Braun, the last woman in his life, and young Geli was playing tricks with her uncle's chauffeur Emil Maurice. Upon learning of the betrayal of the girl, whom he considered his property, political figure fired the driver, and turned the young mistress into a prison inmate of his apartment, forbidding him to see his family and friends. The prisoner was able to break free only through a desperate act - suicide. Although to this day, there are versions that the wounded patron shot the deceiver.
