Eva Braun Cause Of Death: What happened to Adolf Hitler’s wife Eva Braun?

On April 30, 1945, following the Soviet invasion of Berlin, Eva Braun and Adolf Hitler committed suicide in an underground bunker in Berlin.

Although there is considerable debate about how they died, it is largely assumed that Braun ingested a cyanide pill and Hitler committed suicide by shooting himself.

Eva Braun was born into a lower-middle-class Bavarian family and received her education at Simbach-am-Catholic Inn’s Young Women’s Institute. She met Hitler while working as a saleswoman in the shop of Heinrich Hoffman, Hitler’s photographer, in 1930.

She became his mistress and stayed in a residence he supplied in Munich until 1936 when she moved to his Berchtesgaden chalet Berghof.

There is little indication that Hitler and Eva Braun had anything other than a regular relationship, except that the pleasures she brought him were domestic and relaxing rather than sexual.

Hitler never allowed her to accompany him to Berlin or be seen with him in public, and she did not influence his political life.
