Some Famous People called Gretl Braun
Gretl Braun
Margarete Berta Braun ( 31 August 1915 – 10 October 1987) was one of the two sisters of Eva Braun. She was a member of the inner social circle of Adolf Hitler at the Berghof. Braun married SS-Gruppenführer Hermann Fegelein, a liaison officer on Hitler's staff, on 3 June 1944. Fegelein was shot for desertion in the closing days of World War II. Gretl became the sister-in-law of Hitler following his marriage to Eva, less than 40 hours before the couple killed themselves together.
Despite Gretl's ties to the Nazi regime, she managed to survive the war nearly completely unscathed. She'd changed her name, remarried, and lived a quiet life until her death in 1987.
