They told him that just prior to her death, Raubal had been very upset because she’d found a letter from Eva Braun to Hitler .

Alan Bullock,

Hitler and Stalin (New York: HarperCollins, 1991). Bullock’s 1952 biography of Hitler remains a classic, even though this more recent dual biography incorporates new research .
