Angela Raubal, Adolf Hitler's half-sister, was born in July 1883. Angela was raised in Linz, Austria by her father Alois, and her kindly stepmother, Klara (Hitler's mother). When Klara died of breast cancer in 1907, she asked Angela to look after Adolf. Angela oversaw the family's estate and when Adolf became of legal age, delivered his meager inheritance to him. Angela married Leo Raubal and their daughter, Geli, was born in Linz, on June 4, 1908. In 1928, after Angela had been widowed, Hitler invited her to be his housekeeper in Obersalzberg, home of Hitler's Alpine residence. In August of that same year, both Angela and Geli, then a 20-year-old, moved in with Hitler into his mountain home.

Hitler was immediately taken with his half-niece and later became obsessed with her, forbidding her to go anywhere or do anything unaccompanied. Geli was found dead in Hitler's Munich apartment in September 1931. Even after her daughter's death, Angela remained her half-brother's housekeeper at Obersalzberg. Angela tried to warn Eva Braun, the 19-year-old Hitler chose as Geli's replacement, of Hitler's controlling ways, but Braun dismissed the older woman. Soon thereafter, Angela was asked to leave Hitler's house.
