Margarete Berta "Gretl" 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 the
Nazi dictator following his marriage to Eva, less than 40 hours before the couple
committed suicide together.
