Göhler is mentioned as having been ordered by Hitler to destroy his and Eva's personal effects. "Göhler said he had ordered Hauptsturmführer Franz Konrad to burn or otherwise destroy all the items. Konrad, who was later hanged in Poland as a war criminal, gave Göhler a signed certificate of destruction.

The Göhler-Konrad story fell apart when Mr. Gutierrez discovered most and perhaps all of these personal effects hidden behind a false wall in a tool shed at Fischhorn. But the Hitler-Braun correspondence was not in the cache he turned over to Seventh Army headquarters. It was presumed that the letters had been burned by Konrad."
