Eva Braun: Hitler's Mistress & Later Wife

I am not sure this documentary is recommendable! However, Eva Braun's dedication and commitment to Hitler to the bitter end with such a naivete is striking. 

One of Eva Braun's predecessor mistresses shot herself with Hitler's pistol. I have never heard this story before, I believe. Eva Braun also felt she was neglected by Hitler around 1932 and aimed her father's pistol at her heart, but the shot misfired and only injured her. Around 1935, Eva Braun attempted another suicide with pills, but she was discovered by her sister.
The there was Hitler's interest in the then attractive film director, photographer, and actress Leni Riefenstahl.
Eva Braun and Adolf Hitler only got married in the final days of World War II when Soviet soldiers were already invading Berlin just days before they both committed suicide.
