  Berghof Visitors
Hitler's Berghof was the scene of many visits, both formal and informal, and hundreds of photos were taken there.
The laughing lady in the photo on the right, seen with Hitler in the Mooslahnerkopf Teehaus, is sometimes labeled as Herta Schneider, and sometimes even as Eva Braun, but she doesn't look like either one to me; one source has identified her as the wife of Albert Forster, Gauleiter of Danzig.
Hitler loved being photographed with children, and it seems that he genuinely enjoyed their company.

 Hitler News and Articles - Crystalinks
Hitler, it seems, personally ordered those who crossed him, even over minor matters, to be sent to concentration camps, but also had a wicked sense of humour, frequently mocking the pomposity of Hermann Goering, his second in command.
Hitler painted two small watercolor paintings while in Vienna in 1911 or 1912 when he was in his early 20s at the time, was dreaming of a career as an artist.
Hitler is thought to have given the paintings showing Vienna street scenes to the Iranian ambassador to Germany.

 Hitler and Geli   (Site not responding. Last check: )
However, in October Hitler moved her to Munich, where he found her a furnished room and enrolled her as a medical student at the university – her studies were only a pretext for settling her in Munich.
Hitler may have moved her because he was expecting to spend more time in Munich than in Obersalzberg, or because he wanted to prevent Angela from interfering in their relationship.
Hitler’s driver, Emil Maurice, noticed how glad Hitler was when Geli was at his side: ‘He liked to show her off everywhere; he was proud of being seen in the company of such an attractive girl.

 Berghof - Hitler's house on the Obersalzberg near Berchtesgaden
The Berghof was located on a plateau called the Obersalzberg which is on the route to the top of the Kehlstein, the mountain where Hitler's tea house, called the Eagle's Nest, was built in 1938.
Hitler was known as "the people's Chancellor" because he was a common man, and he did what the German people wanted.
Hitler's great accomplishment was that he united the German ethnic group into one empire under one leader for the first time: "ein Folk, ein Reich, ein Führer." This was achieved by annexing Austria and the Sudetenland in 1938.

 The Smart Set: Scent of a Führer - October 24, 2007
With uncharacteristic concern for his fellow human beings, Hitler had first tried to cure himself when he was a rising politician in 1929 by poring over medical manuals, coming to the conclusion that a largely veg diet would calm his turbulent digestion as well as make his farts less offensive to the nose.
Hitler’s stomach problems may even have played their part in his losing the war, thanks to this shadowy figure of Dr. Morell, an incompetent quack who took over Hitler’s medical care in 1937.
Hitler’s arms were so riddled with hypodermic marks that even the normally passive Eva Braun complained to her mother about Morell as “the injection quack.” When Hitler came down with jaundice in 1944, three Nazi doctors tried to have Morell fired.

 The Hitler Shrine
At the same time, the Obersalzberg's other residents were evacuated to make room for Hitler's closest associates, and the area gradually evolved into a retreat for the Nazi elite, with a movie theater, a kindergarten, and two SS barracks with a subterranean shooting range (to keep the daily target practice from disturbing the alpine tranquillity).
Hitler had firm ideas about the disposition of the Berghof after his death: he did not want it turned into a museum, with explanatory signs and official guides, as had been done with the Goethe house in Weimar.
The Berghof, too, was largely reduced to ash, sparing it the indignity of the tour guides Hitler so dreaded, and leaving a place of pilgrimage for future generations of Hitler worshippers—exactly how Adolf Hitler would have wanted it.

 Eva Braun
Hitler first met Eva in 1929 when she was a teenage assistant in the Munich photographic business of Heinrich Hoffmann, who had shrewdly spotted Hitler's potential as early as 1922 and battened on to him as his official photographer until the end.

 Hitler's Forgotten Library:
The books that constitute the Hitler Library were discovered in a salt mine near Berchtesgaden—haphazardly stashed in schnapps crates with the Reich Chancellery address on them—by soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division in the spring of 1945.
Hitler's selective reading—or nonreading—of the pseudo-theological texts in his library makes those books he did read, and especially those in which he left marginalia, all the more significant.
The sentence not only caught Hitler's attention—beneath it is a thick line, and beside it in the margin are three parallel pencil marks—but was echoed two years later in one of his monologues.

Yeah they say to prevent it from coming a shire and stuff but thats the same for the Kelhsteinhouse and allot of other places, this wasnt the Fuhrers palace (wich he wanted to build in Berlin) it was a house like many other in Berchtesgaden, now they built a hotel there i believe.
