Née à Munich en 1912, Eva Braun grandit dans une Allemagne fortement affaiblie par la Grande Guerre. En 1929, la jeune femme, désireuse de s’émanciper, déniche un emploi comme commis à la boutique de Heinrich Hoffmann, photographe exclusif du Parti national-socialiste. Timide et introvertie, elle est présentée au führer et chef du parti, un petit homme à la politesse irréprochable. Adolf Hitler commence à la courtiser.

Munich, 1935. Eva Braun a maintenant une place dans la vie du führer.

Toutefois, ces actions ne changent rien à l’admiration sans bornes qu’Eva lui voue. Le régime nazi en a fait une privilégiée. Voyages, vêtements luxueux, maison dans un quartier huppé, voiture et chauffeur font maintenant partie de son quotidien. Il lui reste aussi ses amis, sa mère et ses sœurs.

Ayers restores the drama of the unexpected to the history of the Civil War.

Bound by an 1839 treaty to protect Belgium from any invader, Britain came to its defence.
