I can't believe this woman
Link is to pictures of Eva Braun, Hitler's wife
I long hold the opinion that this woman was murdered by Hitler, maybe forced to bite on the cyanide capsule, before Hitler off-ed himself with a gun - which, by the way, is a cowardly thing to do. You set the world into chaos and then disappear just before the shit hits the fans. I wonder what his followers think about that. Your leader was too much of a chicken to stand with you and await your judgment.
I always grit my teeth whenever I think of Hitler and his inner circle. And that, that, abomination of a woman who named all her kids to the tone of Hitler and killed all them before killing themselves. That doctor who experimented on the twins, who decided who should live or die by just a flick of his fingers.
There's no use blaming the soldiers who were just following orders, or the everyday people, because during war, nothing is ever clear. Lines are blurred, and I do believe there were some people, regardless of race, risked their lives to save other people, also regardless of their race. I believe that, because they are fellow human beings. I think we have the capacity to kill, but we also have the will to turn at that pivotal moment, to so that one deed that would redeem us for all the monstrous things we've done.
But this was the woman of Adolf Hitler. His Significant Other. Was she that blind to see what her sweetheart was doing, or didn't she care? Better them than her? Was she seeing the world too much through the lens of the camera that she loved so much that she didn't take a minute to put it all down and face reality for what it really was at that time? From accounts, she defied Hitler and social norms of women at that time, and she had a chance to turn things around, but now she was just going to go into history as the wife of the most hated man.
*shakes head*
I'm going to go for a walk before I punch something or someone.
