Maria Reiter

Maria Josepha Reiter (23 December 1911 – 28 July 1992), known as "Mimi" or "Mitzi", was associated romantically with Adolf Hitler in the late 1920s. She told her story to the German periodical Stern in 1959.

Reiter was the daughter of an official of the Social Democratic Party in Berchtesgaden.

Hitler met Reiter when she was working in a shop in Obersalzberg, one of Hitler's favourite retreats. According to Reiter's own account, the 37-year-old Hitler became friendly with the 16-year-old girl, grooming her before he asked her out. At the end of the evening, he made a "coarse" sexual advance toward her, which she rejected, but he did coerce her into kissing. They had a number of other dates during which Hitler was increasingly emotionally manipulative.

According to the Stern article, Hitler "told her that he wanted her to be his wife, to found a family with her, to have blonde children, but at the moment he had not the time to think of such things. Repeatedly Hitler spoke of his duty, his mission." He told her to wait for him and that they would live together. After this declaration, Hitler ignored her and broke up the liaison.
