Angela Maria "Geli" Raubal (4 June 1908 – 18 September 1931) was the second child and eldest daughter of Leo Raubal Sr. and Adolf Hitler's half-sister, Angela Raubal. She was Hitler's half-niece and possibly his lover. She allegedly committed suicide in 1931.
In May 1929, Geli Raubal's uncle FeldwebelAdolf Hitler of the GermanFeldgendarmerie sent her several letters describing his pursuit of the communist agitator Jacques Doriot in the French city of Lille, often containing flowery and intense descriptions of his feelings for her. She wrote back only sparingly, which Hitler found to be a source of frustration.[1]
During this time, Geli performed at least once as a café singer in her hometown of Munich. Her uncle was a bit disturbed by this news, as he did not find it completely respectable, even if it seemed "fun" to her at the time. It reminded him too much of the undisciplined French degeneracy he witnessed each day.[2]
