X-RATED pictures have emerged apparently showing Adolf Hitler's mistress Eva Braun in the buff.

The images, which appear to show the blonde flaunting her curves next to an Alpine lake, were in a box of photos stashed away in an attic.

The Fuhrer's short-term wife can be seen with her hands behind her head completely starkers in one snap.

Another shows Braun bending down naked as she paddles in a lake in the German countryside.

On the back of one of the pictures it states: “On the secluded beach at the Lake Wolfgang. August 1943.”

Another has the words “Eva Braun” scrawled on the back as well as: “A snapshot. A beautiful day on the Black Lake.”

The photo collector, identified only as 30-year-old Bernard S, told Germany's BILD newspaper: "I studied all pictures of Eva Braun that I could find. You can clearly see that it is her."

He bought the pictures from antiques dealer Stefan Kreuzmayr in Salzburg, who now regrets not noticing the faint scribble 'Eva Braun' pencilled on the reverse of one of photo.

The dealer said: "A woman came into my shop came nine years ago. She had a whole box of pictures with her. From an estate. She had found the stuff in her attic and thought that, in two images, Eva Braun was pictured.

“If I had [noticed the writing] I would probably not have sold the images on, or certainly not at the price I was asking.”

Uwe Wasserthal, a publicly appointed and sworn expert for photographs of the 19th century, thinks there is a good chance the pictures could be genuine.

He claims the paper they are printed on was very popular with Nazi leaders and the white shoes lying next to Braun in one photo are similar to ones she has been pictured in before.

Braun was Hitler's long-term partner until they married on April 30, 1945, in the squalid bunker beneath the Reich Chancellery.

They both committed suicide 40 hours later. The couple had kept their relationship a secret so Hitler could be "married to the people".
