Eva Braun

Eva Braun was born in Munich and was the second daughter of school teacher . Friedrich Braun. Braun was educated at a Catholic lyceum in Munich, and then for one year at a business school.
At age 17 she took a job working for Heinrich Hoffmann, the official photographer for the Nazi Party. At first employed as a shop assistant, she soon learned how to use a camera and develop photos.

She met Hitler, who was 23 years older than her, at Hoffmann's studio in Munich in October 1929. Braun herself attempted suicide on 10 or 11 August 1932 by shooting herself in the chest with her father's pistol. Historians feel the attempt was not serious, but was a bid for Hitler's attention. After Braun's recovery, Hitler became more committed to her and by the end of 1932 they had become lovers.
