Thanks for the link! Nice to see those photos posted in large sizes.
I was surprised that the caption correctly identified actress Else von Möllendorff, but that's Gretl Braun sitting back-to-back with her on the Berghof terrace wall, not Eva. The photo where Eva is surrounded by musicians was taken in the Bormann house, during a party for Gretl's marriage to Gen. Fegelein, 3 June 1944. The photo with the cigarette is labeled "Gretl-Greta" in Eva's album. The photo of AH and EB in the Kehlsteinhaus (Eagles Nest) was not taken during the reception for Gretl's wedding because Hitler did not attend that; also, in 1944, he would have been in his wartime uniform jacket.

Amazing collection - thanks for posting. Are you sure the woman in the Garmisch Partenkirchen picture is Eva? It sure doesn't look like her.
