probably not the most happy. Lots of people stay in marriages even then for the sake of their children.
Then of course from what I remember Hitler didn't agree with divorce?
Unless it was politically or ideologically "sound". I know he wouldn't let Joseph and Magda get divorced, he wanted to be with Lida, she wanted to be with....Kurt, Karl, what was his name?

Can we have some sources and quotes from them here? (Outside of J. Duncan's posts, and thank you J. Duncan for that.) It's starting to sound a bit like the National Enquirer Does the Third Reich.... :)

Best,

I think one of the most fascinating relationships is the marraige of Sepp Dietrich Who married Barbara Seidl during 1921 and they had no children. He then met Ursula Brenner nee Spielhagen during 1937 and they had an affair producing a son. He was the wife oof SS Gf Karl Heinrich Brenner. Himmler was very concerned about this triangle but Brenner viewd the match with equanimity and he ad Sepp remauined friends

But different personality. Even twins are not the same in this regard.

I like Himmler!

I agree with J. Duncan, it's not the Himmler's wife.

I hope Phil doesn't mind me reposting his pic. I just think it's ideal for this topic. :D

Kind regards.

-An artist and craftswoman
-A sometime lover of Wilhelm Brueckner
-1931- Joined the NSDAP
-A friend of Eva Braun
-She was decorated at the Berghof
-She was financially supported by Hitler
-After 1945- she was briefly interned
-1981- Died

There are a number of pics of Sophie Stork in the archives of the Bildarchiv Preussischer Kulturbesitz.

I don't want to mess with copyright so won't post any here, but if you go to http://bpkgate.picturemaxx.com/ and enter her name, you'll get 2 pages' worth of photographs taken by Heinrich Hoffman, featuring her in group context.

Bokkop,
Thanks for the website!! There are a lot of interesting pictures there, but Stork is not nearly as stunning as I had heard!!
Much Appreciated,

Even though this woman is not a wife of high official, but I think her beauty is the winner of all! she was wife of Korvettenkapitän Eberhard Bopst, u-boat captain, who sunk with his ship U-597 on 12 October 1942...

A cozy picture...yes, she is attractive. Greiser's wife is not very good looking to me...short, young, and vain...in the last picture she looks trashed (too much to drink)...I'd like to see a pic. of Greiser's first wife for comparison.

Beauty they say is in the eye of the beholder!
Perhaps he fell in love with her mind :D
