: "I studied all pictures of Eva Braun that I could find. You can clearly see that it is her."
He bought the pictures from antiques dealer Stefan Kreuzmayr in Salzburg, who now regrets not noticing the faint scribble 'Eva Braun' pencilled on the reverse of one of photo.
The dealer said: "A woman came into my shop came nine years ago. She had a whole box of pictures with her. From an estate. She had found the stuff in her attic and thought that, in two images, Eva Braun was pictured.
“If I had [noticed the writing] I would probably not have sold the images on, or certainly not at the price I was asking.”
Uwe Wasserthal, a publicly appointed and sworn expert for photographs of the 19th century, thinks there is a good chance the pictures could be genuine.
He claims the paper they are printed on was very popular with Nazi leaders and the white shoes lying next to Braun in one photo are similar to ones she has been pictured in before.
Braun was Hitler's long-term partner until they married on April 30, 1945, in the squalid bunker beneath the Reich Chancellery.
They both committed suicide 40 hours later. The couple had kept their relationship a secret so Hitler could be "married to the people".
