With his everyday clothes Adolf would wear a coloured shirt and, as a sign of his intention to undertake a long trip, would sport, instead of the usual tie, a silk cord with two tassels hanging down. We would not take any food with us, but somewhere would manage to find a bit of dry bread and a glass of milk. What wonderful, carefree 38 times those were! We despised railways and coaches and went everywhere on foot. Whenever we combined our Sunday trip with an outing for my parents, which for us had the advantage that my father treated us to a good meal in a country inn, we started out early enough to meet them at our destination, to which they had come by train.
I never saw her giggly. We got on rather well with each other but Adolf was not particularly close to her. This was due perhaps to the difference in age – he always referred to her affectionately as ‘the kid’. Another acquaintance I made in the Hitler family was a striking-looking woman of just over twenty, called Angela, whose place in the family puzzled me at first, although she addressed Klara Hitler as ‘mother’ just as Paula did. Later, I learned the solution of the mystery. Angela, born on 28 July 1883, that is to say six years before Adolf, was a child of their father’s previous marriage.

My poor mother, while she was anxiously watching us, slipped on the smooth moss and slid into the water. I was too far away to help her at once, but Adolf immediately jumped in after her and dragged her out. He always remained attached to my parents. As late as 1944, on my mother’s 80th birthday, he sent her a food parcel. Adolf was particularly fond of the Mühlviertel. From the Pöstlingberg we would walk across the Holzpoldl and the Elendsimmerl to Gramastetten or wander through the woods round the Lichtenhag ruins.
