Simply put, they arent exactly posed as people who can love anything, man or otherwise.

Stefanie Rabatsch

It has been strongly alleged that she was the teenage love interest of German dictator Adolf Hitler.

Not much is known about this woman but she is said to be Austrian by origin.

However, she was popularly known by maiden name Isak which sounded very Jewish.

Later, Stefanie went on to marry an Austrian army officer.

This does not erase the fact Hitlers love was unrequited and one-sided.

Many people have discarded the feelings of the teenage Hitler as a mere display of infatuation and youthful exuberance.

Then, the fact that he went on to lead a Jewish Holocaust afterwards cannot be overlooked.

Adolf Hitler was no exception to this strange attraction.

He had a lot of ladies flocking around him but he chose one - Eva Braun.

Apart from being the 17-year-old personal assistant of his personal photographer, nothing so much as brought them together.

So she remained one of Hitler’s many enigma for the better of his life.

Without doubt, Eva was the only ‘light’ in Hitler’s life.

The evidence of this lies in her recent elevation in her title.

In fact, the last time the title has been used is in 1974!

This did not go down well with Kim Jong-un so he ordered that the nine artists be killed!

In light of this, the critics of Ri Sol-ju might as well pipe down.

Asma al-Assad

The name Bashar al-Assad can be said to be a household name.

However, not many are familiar with the female power behind the dictator whose name is Asma al-Assad.

This makes her as British as she is Syrian.

Grace Mugabe

The name Grace Mugabe needs no prior introduction.

The couple started off on an extra-marital affair.

At the time, Grace Marufu (her maiden name) was 31 years old and Mugabe was 72.

The union which is still strong and abiding has produced one child.

The intimacy between Robert and Grace is noteworthy.

This sole individual was his second wife Safia.

Safia met Gaddafi when he was admitted into a hospital and treated for appendicitis.

During the course of their marriage, seven of the eight children Gaddafi had came by means of her.

Safai was a shrewd businesswoman who supported her husband despite the criticisms he received from all and sundry.

In her own way, she contributed to the development of women in her surrounding environments.

Even after Gaddafi was politically killed in 2011, Safia’s love for him still shines bright.

There are, indeed, taints of goodness in a person, however small it may be.
