Adolf Hitler
 Hitler with BlondiBlondi (1934 - 29 April 1945) was Adolf Hitler's German Shepherd dog, given to him as a gift in 1941 by Martin Bormann. Blondi stayed with Hitler even after his move to the underground bunker in January 1945 during the Battle of Berlin, and in April 1945, she had a litter of five puppies with Gerdy Troost's German Shepherd, Harass. Hitler named one of the puppies "Wolf", his favourite nickname and the meaning of his own first name, Adolf.
By all accounts, Hitler was very fond of Blondi, keeping her by his side and allowing her to sleep in his bedroom in the bunker, an affection not shared by Eva Braun, Hitler's partner, who hated Blondi and was known to kick her, according to Hitler's secretary Traudl Junge.[2]
Hitler had been given a German Shepherd before, in 1921, during his years of poverty, but he had been forced to lodge the dog elsewhere, although it managed to escape and return to him. Hitler, who adored loyalty and obedience, thereafter developed a great liking for the breed.
