Does anyone know the family tree of eva braun?

Question

My uncle said we are related to Eva Braun...the girlfriend of Hitler! Does anyone have any idea on what the family tree is for Eva Braun? I think I really am related to her because some of her family came just a couple hours from where I live now...but I don't know! Help me please!

Answer 1

Born in Munich, Germany, Eva Braun was the second daughter of school teacher Friedrich "Fritz" Braun and Franziska "f***y" Kranburger, who both came from respectable Bavarian families. Her elder sister Ilse was born in 1909 and her younger sister Margarete "Gretl" was born in 1915.

Unless you are descended from one of her sisters, it is likely you are not very closely related to her. As I'm sure you know, she committed suicide, leaving no children of her own.

Braun was the daughter of a school teacher and educated at a convent school where she had average grades and showed a talent for athletics,

She met Hitler in 1929 when she was seventeen  and is said to have slipped a love letter into his pocket. He had been introduced to her as "Herr Wolff" (a childhood nickname he used during the 1920s for security purposes).

Both of their families were strongly against the relationship and little is known about its first two years. Her father had both political and moral objections while Hitler's half-sister, Angela Raubal, refused to address Eva other than as a social inferior.

    She attempted suicide a second time in 1935 by taking an overdose of sleeping pills. After Braun's recovery Hitler became more committed to her and bought her a villa in Wasserburgerstrasse, a Munich suburb, providing her with a Mercedes and a chauffeur.

    In his book "Inside the Third Reich", Albert Speer describes the relationship as follows: Eva Braun was allowed to be present during visits from old party associates. She was banished as soon as other dignitaries of the Reich, such as cabinet ministers, appeared at the table. Hitler obviously regarded her as socially acceptable only within strict limits. She was so intimidated that she did not dare leave the house for a walk. Her affection for nude sunbathing (and being photographed at it) is known to have infuriated him.

   She had a lifelong interest in photography and their closest friends called her the Rolleiflex Girl (after a well-known camera). She did her own darkroom processing and most of the colour stills and movies of Hitler in existence are her work.

   By early April 1945 she had joined Hitler at the Fuehrer's Bunker in Berlin. She refused to leave as the Red Army closed in, insisting she was one of the only people loyal to him left in the world and Hitler married her on April 29, 1945 during a brief civil ceremony, after which staff were instructed to address her as Frau Hitler instead of Fraulein Braun. They committed suicide together on the 30th, she by swallowing a cyanide capsule first. She was 33. Their corpses were burned with gasoline in the Reich Chancellery garden. Their charred remains were soon discovered by the Russians and secretly buried at the SMERSH compound in Magdeburg, East Germany before being exhumed in 1970, completely cremated and dispersed in the Elbe river.

    The rest of Eva Braun's family survived the war including her father, who worked in a hospital and to whom Braun sent several trunks of her belongings in April, 1945. Her mother, Franziska died aged 96 in January 1976 having lived out her days in an old farmhouse in Ruhpolding, Bavaria.

   During her lifetime, Eva attempted suicide twice. In the 1930s she shot herself in the throat and nearly died from her injuries. In the late 1930s she attempted to kill herself by overdosing with pills.
