Hitler's Birthday: Hitler with guests at his 54th birthday party at Hitler's Bavarian Alps residence, April 1943. Eva Braun is on the far left; behind her is her close friend, Herta Schneider.

LIFE has released a collection of photographs that belonged to Eva Braun, German dictator Adolf Hitler's long-time girlfriend (and for less than 40 hours, his wife).

The photos were confiscated by the U.S. Army in 1945 and brought to light by collector and curator Reinhard Schulz exclusively for LIFE.

The images show Braun, a former model, with Hilter at his 54th birthday party and posing in a swimsuit.
