Braun biographer Heike Görtemaker notes that the couple enjoyed a normal sex life. His relationship with Eva Braun, which lasted nearly 14 years, was hidden from the public and all but his inner circle. Hitler created a public image of a celibate man without a domestic life, dedicated entirely to his political mission and the governance of Nazi Germany. A third died of complications eight years after a suicide attempt, and a fourth also attempted suicide. His name has been linked to a number of possible female lovers, two of whom committed suicide. There is evidence that he had relationships with a number of women during his lifetime, as well as evidence of his antipathy to homosexuality, and no evidence of homosexual encounters. The sexuality of Adolf Hitler (20 April 1889 – 30 April 1945), dictator of Germany from 1933 to 1945, has long been a matter of historical and scholarly debate, as well as speculation and rumour.
