Eva Braun and the Furries

Ben Cosgrove at LIFE Magazine writes, "Recently released photographs — all of them rare, some of them unseen for decades — from Eva Braun's personal photo albums provide a window into an era and a culture that feels light years away, and creepily, even intimately familiar."

The one where she's doing Urdhva Dhanurasana nazi yoga by the lake near Hitler's mountaintop hideaway freaks me out. And the one where she's in blackface as Al Jolson. And then there's this one with a dude in a bear suit, 1935.

Here's the complete photo gallery (in Flash, alas).
