As he rose to power as leader of the Nazi Party, Hitler kept a tight rein over his niece. He did not allow her to associate with friends freely and attempted to have himself or someone he trusted near her at all times. Despite Hitler's efforts to control her, however, she was a free-spirited young woman who often did as she pleased whenever and wherever possible. She even had an affair with Emil Maurice, a founding member of the SS and at the time Hitler's chauffeur, who was dismissed as a result (but later rehired and promoted). Raubal was found dead from a gunshot wound to the heart in Hitler's Munich apartment on the morning of September 19, 1931, at the age of 23. The official cause of death was listed as suicide; it cannot be known how objective the Munich police were in the investigation, however, as Hitler already had considerable influence with them. There were many rumours, including one that Hitler shot her (or had her shot) for infidelity, since she was killed by a bullet fired from his gun.Which the wound on Raubal was said to be from a second person.

After her death, Hitler threatened to commit suicide (he had made similar threats during past moments of personal crisis or defeat, most notably after the failed Beer Hall Putsch). Many historians believe that Hitler was deeply in love with her, and that after her death he was a changed man (for the worse). The many sketches of his which survived the war included some ordinary nudes, and at least one of these depicted Raubal. The Beer Hall Putsch was a failed coup détat that occurred between the evening of Thursday, November 8 and the early afternoon of Friday, November 9, 1923, when the Nazi partys Führer Adolf Hitler, the popular World War I General Erich Ludendorff, and other leaders of the...


Even before Raubal's death, however, Hitler was also seeing 19-year-old Eva Braun, whom he had known for two years (and who would attempt suicide at least twice before marrying and committing suicide with him in the space of a day and a night 14 years later).
