   The first point to make is that all the allegations of, let’s call them,   
   ‘sexual eccentricities’ come from hostiles: individuals who had reasons for   
   speaking badly of Hitler. (God knows there were enough of them). This is not   
   to say that what they said    
   was not true. Only that their allegations would need to be confirmed from a   
   second and preferably a third source and that they have not been. For example,   
   the claim that Hitler defecated on his niece (Geli Raubel) came from Otto   
   Strasser, a dissenting    
   Nazis who was driven out of the country. The claim that Hitler had had a   
   homosexual affair in the trenches comes from Hands Mend, a comrade from the   
   Great War who died in a Nazi prison.   
      
   With feather-brained Eva Braun (pictured), Hitler’s lover from about 1932, the   
   evidence is, on the other hand, really quite good. The two slept apart and   
   Hitler’s butler helpfully noted, naturally after the war, that he had never,   
   despite careful    
   examination, seen any evidence of sexual relations between the two in their   
   bed linen. (Why look?!) But there are also hints that Hitler did have sex with   
   Eva Braun. She seems at one point to have described their love-making to her   
   friends and Hitler was    
   given a medicine that acted (or that was supposed to act) as a sex stimulant.   
   Perhaps the sensible conclusion is that this was a relationship that was not   
   primarily sexual, but that included sex. Certainly, to read contemporary   
   accounts (e.g. Speer) it    
   is clear that no sparks were flying as E&A met in the middle of a crowded room.
