Eva Braun captured?

Looking for ideas on what happens to Eva Braun if she is captured in the final weeks of the war. Would the Soviets simply shoot her? OTOH, if she is in the hands of the western allies, do they put her on trial?
 
The Soviets would most certainly rape her, shoot her, and maybe rape her again (just kidding on that last part). In the event she stays alive, it's unlikely she could be tried for anything by the WAllies (I mean, getting married to Hitler isn't an actual crime, regardless of what Godwinites would say). The Soviets, on the other hand, have no need for actual evidence. A show trial would do just nicely for them.
 
If with the Soviets, expect lots of hard labor. If with the US and UK, she'd probably spend some time in denial, maybe turn out like Goring's daughter.
 
Soviets: Raping and killing.

Wallies: Not much. Only losing her property and living alone, probably without friends. Might still commit suicide later.

Eve Braun was never publicly acknowledged as Hitler's girlfriend/wife, so no one outside a handful of Hitler's inner circle, most of whom committed suicide or scattered, would have known who she was. Given where she was if she didn't commit suicide she would be just another woman in Berlin and if you've read that book (a woman in Berlin) you'd know how awful it was to be a woman at that time and place. Death would be a blessing.
 
How many high-ranking Nazi's were women? Apples to oranges.

Having done a bit of research, it seems that the majority were taken over by the Western Allies.

The exceptions are Gerda Christian and Else Krüger, secretaries and colleagues within the Fuhrerbunker with Traudl Junge (of Downfall fame). Traudl had fled together with them, and others, but the group got separated, and the two ladies got captured by the Soviets - no mention of any of them being raped, and they obviously survived the war.

Wiki:
On 1 May, Junge left the Führerbunker with a group led by Waffen-SS Brigadeführer Wilhelm Mohnke. Also in the group were Hitler's personal pilot Hans Baur, chief of Hitler's Reichssicherheitsdienst (RSD) bodyguard Hans Rattenhuber, secretary Gerda Christian, secretary Else Krüger, Hitler's dietician Constanze Manziarly and Dr. Ernst-Günther Schenck. Junge, Christian and Krüger made it out of Berlin to the River Elbe. The remainder of the group were found by Soviet troops on 2 May while hiding in a cellar off the Schönhauser Allee. The Soviet Army handed those who had been in the Führerbunker over to SMERSH for interrogation, to reveal what had occurred in the bunker during the closing weeks of the war.[2]

Traudl and her friend were raped its been written about in a book:

The Western Allies wouldn't have any real grounds to put her on trial for war crimes. She held no position in the government, had no known role or influence in the decision-making process and wasn't even a member of the Nazi party. There's not even any direct evidence she knew about the Holocaust. So, making a case against her for war crimes will be a non-starter. What will happen is that she will be interned for a few years, interviewed, subjected to forced psychological evaluation, then released. The West German government might try to put her on trial for penny-ante shit like petty corruption, but that's not gonna result in hard time. Maybe she'll do a year or two at worst.
 
When did the soviets rape and kill (in the heat of the moment) a high-ranking Nazi/German ?

Despite that Braun was Hitler's mistress and later wife, her hasn't any kind of influence on Nazi government. Even many high-ranked nazis didn't know her anything or who she really was.
