 HITLER ANGELA: (1883-1949) Austro-Hungarian elder half-sister of Adolf Hitler and the mother of Geli Raubal. The Fuhrer was extremely close to his half-niece, to the point of a possible sexual relationship with her, and was devastated when Raubal committed suicide in controversial circumstances at the age of 23 in Hitler's Munich apartment. An extremely rare vintage signed 4.5 x 3 photograph by Angela Hitler, the image depicting her seated on the end of the front row of an audience alongside a gentleman, most likely Johannes Pant, and with a number of rows of other ladies and genleman behind them. Signed ('Geli') in dark fountain pen ink to the verso and with an additional holograph sentiment in German, in full, 'In memory of your stay in Dresden', and dated 16th December 1939 in her hand. Some light overall age wear and dust staining and a few minor creases and two small tears to the edges, not affecting the signature, G   Johannes Pant had been a priest at the Vienna Men's Hostel where Adolf Hitler lived in 1909 and it is alleged that Pant arranged for the cover up at the funeral and burial of Geli Raubal in Vienna on 24th September 1931 less than a week after her suicide.   The event at which Angela Hitler is seen at in the present image is unknown, although presuming that it was taken on the 16th December 1939, a Saturday close to Christmas, and given the formal evening attire of the subjects, it may have been a festive concert.    The date, 16th December 1939, is however of significance in relation to one of the other most important women in Hitler's life aside from his half-sister and her daughter. In his book Hitler's Girls: Doves Amongst Eagles (2017) the author Tim Heath states that Eva Braun, the future wife of the Fuhrer, became 'the most envied woman in the Third Reich' when she moved into the Reich Chancellery with Hitler on 16th September 1939.    Angela Hitler, employed by her half-brother as a housekeeper, strongly disapproved of his relationship with Eva Braun and eventually left Berchtesgaden as a result and moved to Dresden.
