I've been reading Life With Hitler it's a biographical novel about Eva Braun, who was Hitler's mistress/lover and wife for about 20 hours, (which I can't decide if it's hauntingly beautiful or naive on Braun's part). It is the classic tale of 40 year-old and 17 year-old who fall in love through a friend, or in this case Hitler's private photographer. I basically only know the beginning and the end and am still learning the in between. I've researched their history together before and I know that Eva Braun did some crazy things and I know that they got married a day before they both committed suicide in a bunker. The fact that Hitler married Eva Braun must show some sort of soft side, right? I feel like Eva is a lost character in Hitler's game. I mean, she was there for him for more than 12 years yet we hardly talk about her in history. Not to mention, she was beautiful.
I really really enjoy history. I'm the teacher assistant for a wonderful teacher at my school and it's for history. Today I sat in on a lesson. She was talking about how all the other countries had to appease Hitler in 1938 and 1939 and it was just wonderful and exciting. I don't want to be a teacher, but I wish I could have a job where I was just able to talk about history all day. I'm excited to go to University so that I can study everything history all day. Oh the joys.
