Eva Braun met Adolf Hitler in 1929, at the age of 17. At the time she was employed as a saleswoman in the shop of Heinrich Hoffmann, Hitler’s photographer and friend. Hoffmann introduced Hitler to Braun as “Herr Wolf.” Hitler soon began courting Braun, and by 1936 Braun had moved into his chalet in Berchtesgaden.
