![“[Adolf Hitler] would wear whatever what was put in front of him. He didn't match his ties or his shoes with his clothes, it was as if he deliberately dressed in such a way as to get Eva to get upset. It was his form of teasing or perhaps of controlling [Eva Braun], manipulating her emotions.” quote by Gretl Braun](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/8f4/gretl-braun-9500_clothes_adolf-hitler-would-wear-whatever-what-wa_1588997.jpg)
