Franziska 'Fanny' Braun was the mother of Eva Braun, mistress of Adolph Hitler. She was a ski champion in 1905. She and her husband Friedrich were regular visitors to the Berghof. The Braun's were 1/32 Jewish according to Nazi race laws, a fact discovered by Adolph Eichmann, but never revealed to Hitler.

However, it is essential to approach such claims with caution. Eichmann's statements during his trial may have been made with the intention of downplaying his own role in the atrocities committed during the Holocaust or to create confusion. There is no definitive evidence to support Eichmann's claim, and historical research has not conclusively confirmed Eva Braun's Jewish heritage.
