Romy Schneider
 

Romy Schneider must be one of very few here that actually met Adolf Hitler in person - but of course she was just a child then....

She met him when her mother was introduced to Hitler at "Berghof" late 1941, by Magda Goebbles.

Ol' one, can you prove this statement, have you got a serious source ?

Anyway you may be right in this case but I wonder – as you just mentioned Romy was just a child of about 3 years then – if she was able to remember something about this meeting (I don’t know if this was the onliest one). In general as the most of you know that you can remember some childhood happenings and events back to the age of 4 or 5.

Nevertheless I have got an interesting fact in this context from the following german book by Michael Jürgs ( It’s a kind of biography about Romy) :

Adolf Hitler often visited the performances of Romy’s mother Magda Schneider during her time working at the theatre in Munich from 1941 onwards – mostly he was sitting in the 1st row. He usually sent some flowers into her garderobe after the show because he really admired her (page 19).

About a meeting (or even meetings) in later years the following 2 things are known according to the book :

Hitler : “You all know that I only came to the theatre in Munich because of her (Magda Schneider)” and

Mrs. Schneider just gently turned pink (blushed) when she was addressed to this issue.

So in this case you can only speculate about a real affair between them.

As I am not quite through the whole book perhaps a little bit later I can post some interesting things about Romy’s life.

:) I didn't say that she remember it, just that she was there, with her mother. There is a film clip of it, that was shown and commented on in a TV documentary that I have watced a few times - but there is always a possibility that someone has been telling lies. It is something that very well can be truethough (even likely), considering the relations between the involved (grown up) people.
If she remembs it or not is a remote point.
