Re: Forgot to mention...
This is probably true, but keep in mind Dr Mengele's own attitude and perception. One who might seem unbearable to most people might have suited Mengele just fine. Be that as it may, I misquoted one thing- It was ELSA GLUPIAN whom he had fallen in love with and she turned him down. According to this book, it was rumored that he and Gitta Stammer were actually having an affair, which she denies. Here is the excerpt from the book, bear in mind, Dr Mengele was living on their farm under the name "Pedro/Peter" at this time:
"Finally, and maybe most important, Gitta's unswerving loyalty to Mengele appears to be the result of a love affair between them. Jose Osmar Siloto, who helped harvest the coffee crop, said Mengele and she were 'always together. They walked everywhere together and were always sitting and talking to each other.' Ferdinando Beletatti, who worked on the farm said:
"Mr Stammer seldom came to the farm. Their childrem once told me that Peter and Gitta locked themselves in the bedroom to be by themselves, making it clear they had a romance."
"Wolfram Bossert, who sheltered Mengele later, says there was an 'erotic relationship between Gitta and him {Mengele}.' Evidence of the relationship is also scattered throughout Mengele's diaries. He wrote of the 'beautiful' Gitta, and dedicated love poems to her:
((Insert poem "Quiet Love" here))
"Yet Gitta tearfully denies she ever had an affair with Mengele. She claims he 'satisfied his sexual desires by having brief affairs with almost every young female farmhand we hired.'
---- Wolfram Bossert then counters that with a quote saying that he had jokingly implied that Mengele had had an affair with a very pretty, "dark girl" who was a farm hand, and Mengele became cross and said that he "As a race scientist would never have an affair with a colored woman".-----
