Born in Munich, Germany, Braun was the daughter of a school teacher and educated at lyceum and then for one year at a business school in a convent where she had average grades, a talent for athletics and the "dreamy beauty" of a "farmer's daughter." She worked for several months as a receptionist in a medical office, then at age seventeen took a job as office and lab assistant for Heinrich Hoffman (the official photographer for the Nazi Party). She met Hitler there in 1929 and is said to have slipped a love letter into his pocket. He had been introduced to her as "Herr Wolff" (a childhood nickname he used during the 1920s for security purposes). She described him to friends as a "gentleman of a certain age with a funny moustache and carrying a big felt hat." Both of their families were strongly against the relationship and little is known about its first two years. Her father had both political and moral objections while Hitler's half-sister, Angela Raubal, refused to address Eva other than as a social inferior.
