There is only one thing I want. I would like to be seriously ill, and to hear nothing more about him for at least a week. Why doesn't something happen to me? Why do I have to go through all this? If only I had never set eyes on him!

Eva Anna Paula Hitler (née Braun; 6 February 1912 – 30 April 1945) was the longtime companion of Adolf Hitler and for less than 40 hours his wife. As Red Army troops fought their way into the neighbourhood on 29 April 1945 Eva Braun married Hitler during a brief civil ceremony; Eva Braun was 33 and he was 56. Braun met Hitler in Munich when Eva Braun was 17 years old while Eva Braun was working as an assistant and model for his personal photographer and began seeing him often about two years later.
