Photo of Adolf Hitler's lover Eva Braun dressed as black man emerges

A collection of photographs of Adolf Hitler's lover Eva Braun has surfaced, and in one of them she is featured with black make-up and dressed like a man.

The picture had been taken in 1937 when Braun was 25, and she had captioned the image "Me as Al Jolson". Jolson was a Jewish American star, the Sun reported.

The images had been found in 1945 at Hitler's Bavarian mountain retreat, the Berghof, but they lay forgotten in US archives until this week.

Other snaps show Hitler playing with the young daughter of one of Braun's pals, and messing about with her pet dogs.
