Geli Raubal

Geli Raubal born Angela Maria Raubal, June 4, 1908 in Linz, Upper Austria, Austria-Hungary, was rumoured to be Adolf Hitler's mistress. Geli and her young sister Elfriede accompanied their mother, Angela Raubal, half sister of Adolf Hitler, when she became Hitler's housekeeper in 1925. Raubal was 17 at the time and spent the next six years in close contact with her half-uncle, who was 19 years her senior. Her mother was given a position as housekeeper at the Berghof villa near Berchtesgaden in 1928. Geli Raubal moved into Hitler's Munich, Prinzregentenplatz apartment in 1929, when she enrolled in medicine at Ludwig Maximillian University. She did not complete her medical studies. On the morning of Sept 19,1931, members of Hitler's staff found Geli Raubal dead from a gunshot wound to the lung in her room in Hitler's Munich apartment, Prinzregentenplatz 16 second floor. Hermann Göring would later tell attorneys at the Nuremberg trials that Geli Raubal's death (1931) had devastated Hitler to such an extent that it changed his views and relationships with all other people.
