    Angela Maria “Geli” Raubal accompanied [her] mother when she became Hitler’s housekeeper in 1925; Raubal was 17 at the time and spent the next six years in close contact with her half-uncle, who was 19 years her senior.

    Raubal was living in Hitler’s Munich apartment, and he maintained strict control over her actions. She was in effect a prisoner, and planned to escape to Vienna to continue her singing lessons. Her mother told interrogators after the war that Hitler had forbidden her daughter to continue her relationship with a man from Linz whom she was hoping to marry. Hitler and Raubal argued on 18 September 1931, when he refused to allow her to go to Vienna. He departed for a meeting in Nuremberg but was recalled to Munich the next day with the news that Raubal was dead from a gunshot wound to the lung; she had apparently shot herself in Hitler’s Munich apartment with Hitler’s Walther pistol. She was 23.

    Not that this wasn’t horrible for her, but it doesn’t even move the needle on the “bad shit Hitler did” meter.
