Unity Valkyrie Mitford was born in Britain in 1914 to a wealthy aristocratic family. She became an English socialite who became a devotee of Adolf Hitler and displayed her support of Nazism openly in Britain and Germany since 1936. She decided to meet Hitler as he mingled with the Volk in the early years and so sat everyday at the Osteria Bavaria restaurant in Munich until Hitler invited her to his table after 10 months of waiting! They became friends and were often seen together (even with Eva Braun present)! Hitler gave her an engraved golden swastika badge, prime seats at the 1936 Olympics, and rides in his Mercedes. But after she asked him about marriage, he turned her down- still maintaining that he must remain celibate for all the German womens’ admiration while still seeing Eva secretly. Unity was considered a traitor and Anti-Semite in Britain for meeting with Julius Streicher and making Anti-Semitic speeches, giving Nazi salutes at home and abroad. Hitler had warned her of impending war with Britain and suggested that she return home, but instead she took a pearl-handled pistol (given to her by Hitler) and shot herself in the head upon Britain’s declaration of war on Germany Sept 3, 1939. She spent time in neutral Switzerland recovering from attempted suicide and then was secretly moved back to Britain in 1943 as a broken woman. She survived the war, but died in 1948 of head injuries from the lodged bullet. Because of her family, the British public are divided over her to this day… brainwashed young woman infatuated with Hitler as an idol or a real Nazi advocate?
