Hitler decided to honor her loyalty and marry her. They married in a civil ceremony on April 29, 1945 in the Chancellery bunker. Braun legally became Eva Hitler. Eva Braun did not have children due to her death the day following her wedding.
Yes, scientists have successfully analyzed Adolf Hitler's DNA from a blood-stained piece of fabric taken from the sofa where he died in 1945, allowing for the first identification and sequencing of his genome, which revealed genetic predispositions for certain conditions and debunked myths about his ancestry, as detailed in the 2025 documentary Hitler's DNA: Blueprint of a Dictator.
Pre- vious scholarship has shown that Hitler was a firm believer in God and that he did have a positive view of Jesus even though he expressed only contempt for the Christianity of the established churches.

The most striking finding from the team's analysis was that Hitler had a mutation on a gene called PROK2. Variants in this gene are a cause of Kallmann syndrome and congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, King said. In boys, these conditions can delay puberty and cause undescended testicles.
Adolf Hitler's closest friend in his youth was August Kubizek, who met Hitler at the opera in Linz, Austria, and shared a deep bond over music and Wagner before they lived together in Vienna, with Kubizek serving as Hitler's devoted audience and confidant for his dreams. Later in life, while Hitler had many inner circle members like Albert Speer or Ernst Röhm, they were political allies or subordinates, not a "best friend" in the same intimate way as Kubizek, highlighting Kubizek as the significant figure from Hitler's formative years.
The Berghof was rebuilt and renamed in 1935 and was Hitler's holiday residence for ten years. It was damaged by British bombs in late April 1945, and again in early May by retreating SS troops, and it was looted after Allied troops reached the area. The Bavarian government demolished the burned shell in 1952.
Finally, Hitler named Dönitz as his successor as president of the Reich, minister of war and supreme commander of the armed forces. After Hitler's suicide on 30 April, Dönitz opened negotiations for surrender.

Written by Germany's foremost diplomatic historian of the early twentieth century, this work maps out all the numerous times that Adolf Hitler made unconditional offers of peace to all the nations of Europe--and how the major anti-German belligerents, France and Britain, turned down these offers each and every time.
Hitler had fully discarded belief in the Judeo-Christian conception of God by 1937, writes Domarus, but continued to use the word "God" in speeches – but it was not the God "who has been worshiped for millennia", but a new and peculiarly German "god" who "let iron grow".

Although Einstein was of Jewish heritage, he did not adhere to religious beliefs. Instead, he embraced a broader humanist outlook that transcended religious, racial, and sectarian divisions.
Nazi Party foreign policy aimed to rid Europe of Jews and other “inferior” peoples, absorb pure-blooded Aryans into a greatly expanded Germany—a “Third Reich”—and wage unrelenting war on the Slavic “hordes” of Russia, considered by Hitler to be Untermenschen (subhuman).
