Is there written or apocryphal evidence that she was not at least in part coerced into killing herself? I've read a translation of his dictated will & testament that said something like 'my wife and I choose death over disgrace' or something. Would Eva Braun have been arrested or prosecuted by the Allies had she survived? Was she as broken, psychologically, as AH was? I find her story fascinating.
Hitler's secretary Traudl Junge talks about this at great length in her memoirs. She tells how on April 21 von Ribbentrop tried to get Eva Braun to persuade Hitler to flee Berlin. Braun refused and said: "He must decide this for himself. If he thinks it right to remain in Berlin, I will stay with him." The next day Hitler orders the women in the Führerbunker to leave and Braun says "But you know that I am staying with you. I am not going to allow myself to be sent away." On April 25 they discuss how to kill themselves and Eva says "I want to be a beautiful corpse, I am taking poison [instead of shooting herself]. Do you think it will hurt? I am so scared of suffering for a long time. Even though I am prepared to die heroically, it should at least be painless." On April 26 she writes her final letters. She looks scared and tells Junge: "Ms Junge, I am so frightfully scared. I wish it was all over already." The next day her brother-in-law, a member of Hitler's inner circle, calls her to urge her to flee Berlin and she replies only: "Hermann, where are you? Come over immediately, the Führer wants to speak to you." She later tells Junge that she is extremely disappointed that he has abandoned Hitler.
On April 30, the day of their suicides, she gives Junge her most treasured fur coat and tells her, smiling: "Please try to get out of Berlin and say hello to Bayern from me." She has put on the dress that Hitler likes best on her, has done her hair beautifully and is freshly washed. Then she goes into Hitler's study with him and takes poison.
