Eva Braun had spent most of her life waiting for Adolf Hitler and she had agreed to share his fate. She was much more than a dumb blonde reading romance novels and watching films - and she would now be with him forever. It was Hitler's wish that she should be with him in death as she had been for so many years in life. Shortly before his suicide, Hitler said of Eva: "Miss Braun is, besides my dog Blondi, the only one I can absolutely count on ..."
On the morning of April 28, 1945, Eva Braun confided in Hitler's secretary, Frau Traudl Junge: "That day Eva Braun said something strange to me: she said, you will be shedding tears for me before today is over ... what she actually meant was her marriage to Hitler."
A minor official of the Propaganda Ministry, Walther Wagner, married them in the early hours of April 29, 1945, as a crowning award for her loyalty to the end, while Soviet troops closed on the Reichstag and Chancellery.
The marriage document survived. Eva started to sign her name "Eva Braun" but stopped, crossed out the "B" and wrote "Eva Hitler, born Braun." Goebbels and Bormann signed as witnesses.
On the same morning Hitler retired to a room with his secretary, Traudl Junge, and hastily dictated his last will and a Political Testament. He did not show the slightest trace of regret or remorse for the millions of lives he had destroyed. In his will, he stated specifically who was to be the executor of his will, what he wanted done with his body, and who was to receive his possessions.
The Last Will
As I did not consider that I could take responsibility, during the years of struggle, of contracting a marriage, I have now decided, before the closing of my earthly career, to take as my wife that girl who, after many years of faithful friendship, entered, of her own free will, the practically besieged town in order to share her destiny with me. At her own desire she goes as my wife with me into death. It will compensate us for what we both lost through my work in the service of my people.
What I possess belongs - in so far as it has any value - to the Party. Should this no longer exist, to the State; should the State also be destroyed, no further decision of mine is necessary.
My pictures, in the collections which I have bought in the course of years, have never been collected for private purposes, but only for the extension of a gallery in my home town of Linz on Donau.
It is my most sincere wish that this bequest may be duly executed.
I nominate as my Executor my most faithful Party comrade, Martin Bormann. He is given full legal authority to make all decisions. He is permitted to take out everything that has a sentimental value or is necessary for the maintenance of a modest simple life, for my brothers and sisters, also above all for the mother of my wife and my faithful co-workers who are well known to him, principally my old Secretaries Frau Winter etc. who have for many years aided me by their work.
I myself and my wife - in order to escape the disgrace of deposition or capitulation - choose death. It is our wish to be burnt immediately on the spot where I have carried out the greatest part of my daily work in the course of a twelve years' service to my people.
Given in Berlin, 29th April 1945, 4:00 a.m.
Signed:
A. Hitler
Signed as witnesses:
Dr. Joseph Goebbels
Martin Bormann

As the Soviet and Polish hordes were punching their way towards Berlin, they raped, killed, pillaged and burned as much and as many as they could. Some of the Nazi hierarchy was preparing to fight to the death; but, many were fleeing the wrath to come.
Adolph Hitler was a complete madman by this point. He married the woman who had been by his side for so long fully aware that suicide and the burning of the bodies would be their honeymoon. He had a good ide what would have happened to them if their had been caught alive or if their bodies were discovered.
Images: 1945-04-29 Hitler with Eva Braun. She wrote that dying 'isn't difficult for me'; Battle of Berlin, 16 April–2 May 1945 - 1,298,745 casualties; 1945-04-29 Allegedly the last picture of Adolf Hitler before he committed suicide on. Hitler (right) and his adjutant Julius Schaub looking at the ruins of the Reich; 1945-04 Oberwallstrasse, in central Berlin, saw some of the most vicious fighting between German and Soviet Forces
"Adolf Hitler commits suicide in his underground bunker
Der Fuhrer, Adolf Hitler, dictator of Germany, burrowed away in a refurbished air-raid shelter, consumes a cyanide capsule, then shoots himself with a pistol, on this day in 1945, as his “1,000-year” Reich collapses above him.
Hitler had repaired to his bunker on January 16, after deciding to remain in Berlin for the last great siege of the war. Fifty-five feet under the chancellery (Hitler’s headquarters as chancellor), the shelter contained 18 small rooms and was fully self-sufficient, with its own water and electrical supply. He left only rarely (once to decorate a squadron of Hitler Youth) and spent most of his time micromanaging what was left of German defenses and entertaining such guests as Hermann Goering, Heinrich Himmler, and Joachim von Ribbentrop. At his side were Eva Braun, whom he married only two days before their double suicide, and his dog, an Alsatian named Blondi.
Warned by officers that the Russians were only a day or so from overtaking the chancellery and urged to escape to Berchtesgarden, a small town in the Bavarian Alps where Hitler owned a home, the dictator instead chose suicide. It is believed that both he and his wife swallowed cyanide capsules (which had been tested for their efficacy on his “beloved” dog and her pups). For good measure, he shot himself with his service pistol.
The bodies of Hitler and Eva were cremated in the chancellery garden by the bunker survivors (as per Der Fuhrer’s orders) and reportedly later recovered in part by Russian troops. A German court finally officially declared Hitler dead, but not until 1956.

He didn't drink and I think he was a vegetarian. Those are two almost insurmountable problems.
