The devil's mistress

by Gold, Alison Leslie.

About this book

Eva Anna Paula Braun, vain, silly, and easily deluded, was seventeen in 1929 when she first met "Herr Wolf," a 40-year-old with penetrating blue eyes who otherwise looked like a frumpy postman. By the time she learned that her "old" admirer was Adolf Hitler, the leader of the outlawed Nazi party, they had begun a sexual liaison that would survive the Fuhrer's rise to power, World War II, a bevy of beautiful women vying for his attention, and finally end in marriage and double suicide in 1945. The Devil's Mistress is a chilling, satirical work of extrapolation that has been grafted onto a fragment of Eva Braun's actual diary written in 1935. Based on extensive research and supported by a factual armature, this personification of evil takes the reader into the hidden erotic life of Hitler, and - as she was affectionately nicknamed - Fraulein Effie. And, without ever realizing that she was the sex slave of one of the cruelest men in history, she was nonetheless able to chisel out a powerful identity for herself within a loathsome, amoral milieu of mass killers.
