Hitler: that two-faced jerk!
In The Fegelein Wedding - Nazi Fairytale or Nazi Nightmare? Mark Felton recounts Gretl Braun's romances and marriage. Gretl, the younger sister of Adolf Hitler's squeeze, Eva, fell in love with Fritz Darges, who was Hitler's SS adjutant at the time.
Though Darges had a relationship with Gretl, he refused to marry her. Despite pressure from Hitler, who was rather old-fashioned when it came to relationships, and pressured some of his aides to marry.

Gretl went through at least one more similarly-pressured paramour, before finding one who would accede to her sister's lover's wishes. She married Hermann Fegelein on 3rd June 1944.
Yet, although 'Dolf had been in a relationship with Eva since 1929, he only married her on 29th April 1945; just one day before their oh-so-romantic his 'n' hers double suicide. Pah! So much for being rather old-fashioned when it came to relationships

As Norm Macdonald might've said: that Adolf Hitler, he was a real jerk. But the worst part of the whole thing was the hypocrisy.
What Macdonald did say was: You know, with Hitler, the more I learn about that guy, the more I don't care for him.
The hypocrisy was Bill Cosby's: Patton Oswalt [although that changed with the retelling], he told me
I think the worst part of the Cosby thing was the hypocrisy.
And I disagree. I thought it was the raping.
Fritz Darges' copybook was blotted by his refusal to marry Gretl. At a meeting on 18th July 1944, he declined to remove a fly from the Führer's shoulder by reason, or joking, that since it was a fly it was the responsibility of the Luftwaffe's adjutant. Hitler had Darges sent to the Eastern front; proof, if it were ever needed, that Hitler didn't have much of a sense of humour. Darges had the last laugh, though; he survived the war, and died in 2009 at the age of 96.
