Real Wives of Dictators | Eva Braun, Adolf Hitler's Wife
41:03 Share

What was life like as Adolf Hitler's other half?

Although their marriage came (very) late in their lives, Eva Braun was with Hitler from the earlier days in his political career, and was a confidant to him through the rise (and fall) of the Nazi Party.

How complicit was she in the evil ideologies Hitler set out? Was she in any way a victim? And what was it like to be part of the inner circle?

Joining Kate in the second episode of our limited series, Real Wives of Dictators, is Clare Mulley, historian and author of books including *The Women Who Flew For Hitler, *and recently, Agent Zo: The Untold Story of Fearless WW2 Resistance Fighter Elzbieta Zawacka.

This episode was edited and produced by Stuart Beckwith. The senior producer was Charlotte Long.
