==Downfall and death==

Fegelein fled the bunker after he couldn't talk Eva into leaving Hitler. He was arrested ~~at his apartment~~ dressed as a civilian clothing and was with another woman. Once Hitler learned of Himmler's betrayal by negotiating with the Western powers, Hitler stripped Fegelein of his SS rank and had him court-martialed by SS-Brigadeführer [[Wilhelm Mohnke]]. Mohnke remembered that Fegelein was very drunk during the trial. Afterwards, Fegelein was taken away and shot outside in the Reich's Garden.

There are some conflicting reports over Eva's reaction to the execution of Hermann Fegelein, according to Otto Günsche (Hitler's adjutant) said she refused to speak on his behalf but Traudl Junge (Hitler's secretary) stated that Eva was pleading to Hitler for Hermann's life.
