WWII Nazi Eva Braun Hitler Opera Glasses
Eva Braun Opera Glasses Eva Braun was the lover of Adolf Hitler and eventually became his wife the day before their suicide. Braun had known Hitler since 1929 and came to be lovers in 1931. Though Hitler wanted to maintain the image that he was single and solely dedicated to his work, he made many accommodations for Braun and spent many nights with her alone, either in his vacation home Berghof near Berchtesgaden or in his apartment in Munich and Berlin. She would marry Hitler on April 29, 1945 before committing suicide together with him the next day. One of the accommodations made for Braun was custom silverware, tableware, and other items. These opera glasses have the Eva Braun monogram etched on the front bar between the eyepieces. The metal frame is covered by the abalone grip and abalone eyepiece covers. There is a small chip in the abalone on the bottom of the handle. Eyepieces are clear, no fogginess or cloudiness. Lenses could use a dusting. Included is a certificate of authenticity. Very good condition and a rare piece of Eva Braun’s personal belongings. See lots 194-206 for more of Eva Braun's items. From the Michael Clifton collection.
