Early relationship with Hitler

edit

Henriette von Schirach said that Hitler made a pass at her. A couple of other sources of dubious reliability:

Otto Strasser in his book "Hitler and I": "Adolescent girls are rarely discreet. Fraulein Hofmann chattered so freely and to such effect that one day her father went to demand an explanation from the seducer of Munich."

Walter Charles Langer in The Mind of Adolf Hitler (1943): "Henny, according to reports, was little more than a prostitute and spent most of her time among the students in Munich, who alleged that she could be had for a few marks... With the death of Mrs. Hoffmann, the home went to pieces from a moral point of view and became a kind of meeting place for homosexuals of both sexes. There was a good deal of drinking and great freedom in sexual activities of all kinds. Hitler was frequently present at parties given in the Hoffmann home and became very friendly with Henny. The relationship continued for some time until Henny, who was a very garrulous person by nature, got drunk one night and began to talk about her relationship to Hitler. Her father became enraged and for a time had little to do with Hitler... Among Hitler’s associates, it was supposed that Hitler had committed some kind of sexual indiscretion with Henny and bought Hoffmann’s silence by granting him these exclusive rights. In any event, Henny was soon married to Baldur von Schirach, the Leader of the Nazi Youth Movement, who is reputed to be a homosexual." cagliost (talk) 15:09, 17 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Relationship with Peter Jacob

edit

Article currently states she married and divorced Peter Jacob. Other sources suggest they never married, and this was the same Major Karl Eugen Hans-Peter Jacob who first married Leni Reifenstahl. cagliost (talk) 13:30, 21 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Still other sources give his name as Alfred Jacob: "Umgang bayerischer Museen mit der NS-Zeit", Sueddeutsche Zeitung 25 June 2016, von Catrin Lorch und Jörg Häntzschel [1] "she announces her divorce of film producer Alfred Jacob (who she never married)" cagliost (talk) 13:34, 21 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Jacob later married Ellen Schwiers. cagliost (talk) 09:46, 26 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
