Traudl Junge.

Traudl Humps' wedding with SS-Sturmbannfuhrer (later Obersturmbannfuhrer) Hans Hermann Junge, 19 June, 1943.  The marriage between Junge, one of Hitler's personal adjutants, and his personal private secretary was "suggested" by Hitler, who appears to have been very fond of both of them.  It is possible that the Fuhrer was attempting to tie Junge down a bit; he had already made several requests to be assigned to a fighting unit.  In any case, the happy couple do not seem to have been together very much.  Less than a month after the wedding, Hans Junge's request for assignment to a combat unit was granted.  He was killed in action in the course of an Allied aircraft ground attack in France on 13 August, 1944.
