Unity Mitford: Unity Mitford was a British aristocrat and Nazi sympathizer who sought close contact with Hitler in the 1930s. Mitford’s public political enthusiasm contrasts with Braun’s largely private position beside Hitler.

Führerbunker: The Führerbunker was an underground shelter in Berlin where Hitler’s leadership circle spent the final weeks of World War II. Braun stayed in the bunker with Hitler and married him there shortly before they died.
