Paula Hitler was born on January 21, 1896.She was the last child of Alois Hitler and his third wife Klara. The couple had five children, but only two survived to become adults: Paula and her elder brother, Adolf Hitler.
Later Paula worked as a secretary for a group of doctors in a military hospital. Each year Hitler sent her a ticket to the impressive Nuremberg Rally. She later recalled:
"From 1929 on I saw him once a year until 1941. We met once in Munich, once in Berlin, and once in Vienna. I met him in Vienna after 1938. His rapid rise in the world worried me. I must honestly confess that I would have preferred it if he had followed his original ambition and become an architect. It would have saved the world a lot of worries .."
When Hitler rose to power in Germany and Europe, he made Paula change her name from Paula Hitler to Paula Wolff - Wolff was Adolf Hitler's nickname. She later told:
"The first time that my brother suggested my changing my name was at the Olympic Games in Garmisch. He wanted me to live under the name of Wolff, and maintain the strictest incognito. That was sufficient for me. From then on I kept this name. I added the Mrs. as I thought that less conspicuous."
Until the last weeks of the war, Paula Hitler lived in Vienna where she was arrested by US Intelligence officers in May, 1945. During the interrogations, she told how her brother had been deeply affected by his mother's death when he was 18.
Paula was released and returned to Vienna to work in an arts and crafts shop. On December 1, 1952, she moved to a two-room flat near Berchtesgaden, Hitler's mountaintop retreat on the German-Austrian border, where she lived in seclusion under the last name of Wolf until her death on June 1, 1960.
Paula Hitler, who never married or had children, is buried in the Bergfriedhof in Berchtesgaden as the only member of the immediate family to carry the name Hitler on her tombstone.

These pictures are communications documenting the interrogation of Hitler's sister, Paula Hitler, who lived under the name Mrs. Paula Wolff. Hitler made Paula change her name during his rapid rise to power in Germany. Mrs. Wolff states in her interrogation that her "biggest outside interest is the Catholic Church". She also states that she feels that Adolf Hitler never left the Catholic Church during his reign as the Nazi dictator of Germany. In this de-briefing by the CIC, the reader also finds that Mrs. Wolff met the mysterious Eva Braun.
