Eva y Adolf - public photo 1936

[Helly Angel]

Since the left to right: Otto Dietrich, Dr. Morell (I think), Hitler, ? maybe Brückner.

In the second row: Gretl and Eva.

This photo was taken in Garmish Partenkirchen in february 1936 and published by mistake in several magazines about the IV Spielen Wintergames.

Helly Angle:

The man between Otto Dietrich and Hitler is Gauleiter Adolf Wagner.

Thank you Mark!

Merry Christmas tonight!

This photo appears in my SS Leadership book. The original Hoffmann print was incorrectly captioned as Bürckel not Wagner, but Mark is quite right. In close-up you can see it is Wagner.
Helly is right about Brückner, but wrong about Gretl Braun next to Eva. Her name escapes me at the moment, but she is a friend of Eva's. What is amazing about this photo is that Eva Braun is photographed in public with Hitler, albeit at a discreet distance.

Yes, Max is right, In fact, this is not Gretl at all, is Eva's best friend Herta Schneider I think.

Herta is often misidentified as Gretl in several photos as well. To read about that check the Walden´s site:

Is it some kind of blanket in Hitler and Wagner's legs to keep them warm?

I don't think that's Herta Schneider, but it might be Sofie Storck, who was a friend of both AH and EB.

Rod

Yes, and it appears to be in a Scottish Tartan pattern! Not very Germanic!
