It's just what happened between Eva and him.
The drug use did his sex.
If he would have had sex with like a lot of people, maybe with his generals, maybe then, you know, it would be worth writing about it because maybe he dominated his generals in bed or something, but he was just having sex with Eva.
And I don't think that's historically relevant.
It might be interesting for the movie, but also I don't want to see Hitler having sex.
But Eva Braun is an interesting character because she had more of a say than historians for a long time attributed to her.
Then a biography was written on her by a female German historian, and that's a very good biography.
It really shows that she had quite a lot to say in this relationship.
She was not the dumb blonde that just...
She was quite opinionated and active.
And she was filming him a lot.
She was always filming in the Berghof.
You can go online and look at the Eva Braun clips and you will see Hitler in color at the Berghof, how he's like...
meeting children, patting their head.
She was contributing to the myth of this private, the private man, the good private man.
So Eva Braun is an interesting character for sure.
But...
I found one note that she, in the beginning, when Morel started with his drugs, said to Morel that she wants the same drugs, the same medications, not drugs, the same medications as Hitler.
So she would be on the same wavelength with him.
She didn't want to lose this world.
