Third request

Further to your last update where you refuse to accept the official recorded birth date of Eva Braun.

The link I previously sent you is from trusted UK Government sources, which you somehow find inferior to a google book document in addition to third hand hearsay evidence.

Please find below the link to the official LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF ADOLF HITLER with its accompanying letter to the US PRESIDENT from the then serving SECRETARY OF WAR, dated the 19th of March 1946.

Page 5 of this clear legal and presidential document, also in addition to my first link and request, clearly states that Eva Braun date of birth was and still remains the 6th February 1910.

DOCUMENTS LINKED BELOW:

Page 5 of 36

https://catalog.archives.gov/id/6883511

These documents are completely genuine and have been confirmed by both the US Presidential office and that of the UK Government. Your suggestion that these official and extremely well vetted documents have been translated wrong by both the United Sates of America and the British Governments intelligence officials, is absurd, if not with all due respect, completely ridiculous.

Not withstanding that numbers do not get translated between languages, your dismissal of this information in preference to google books and some passing gossip noted in an unofficial book is beyond belief.

I again ask that this information on your web page is changed to show the correct date of birth for Eva Braun, that being the 6th February 1910, thus showing her age at her time of death as 35 years.

Failure to correct this will result in further contact to both the respective Government archive trusts, to inform them of your allegations, that being, that their official documents are wrong. This is highly significant, because Wikipedia would therefore be calling into question the authenticity of Adolf Hitlers last will and testament, thus, bring into question the competence of both world leading intelligence services.

Please can this be actioned ASAP, as one can be assured, I will not be letting this matter rest until you either publish the correct information, or completely remove your misleading article.

Your new link points to the same blurry document, and therefore cannot be used, as it does not support the change you wish to make.— Diannaa (talk) 21:30, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, there's an error in this article regarding the year in which Eva Braun started working as a photographer for Heinrich Hoffmann.

Under 'Relationship with Hitler' in the 5th sentence of the 2nd paragraph you will see the error. Hitler and Eva were 17 and 40 respectively when they met, if she had started working for Hoffman in 1933, she would've been around 20 or 21 years old. Sockgiant (talk) 23:54, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: She started working at Hoffmann's shop as an assistant/apprentice in October 1929. (Gortemaker page 12, Lambert page 55.) She later (in 1933) became a photographer for his company. She was 17 in 1929 and Hitler (born in 1889) was 40. — Diannaa (talk) 01:09, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article notes in the section "Early life" that She met Adolf Hitler, 23 years her senior, at Hoffmann's studio in Munich in October 1929. — Diannaa (talk) 01:11, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please remove this sentence:

Braun's parents were divorced in April 1921 but remarried in November 1922, probably for financial reasons (hyperinflation was plaguing the German economy at the time).

and add

Braun's parents divorced in April 1921 but remarried in November 1922, probably for financial reasons; hyperinflation was plaguing the German economy at the time.

The mix of verb tenses ("were divorced" versus "remarried") isn't good, and the semicolon is better than the parentheses. 123.51.107.94 (talk) 23:08, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
