Manage episode 381169124 series 3502293
The Mitford Sisters were the most glamorous aristocrats on the London scene in the 1920's. At their head was Diana, the most beautiful woman in England, who would eventually marry Sir Oswald Mosley, 6th Baronet, and founder of the British Union of Fascists.
However it was her younger sister Unity who would strike up a relationship with Hitler and become part of his close inner circle. He described both Unity and Diana as, "perfect examples of Aryan womanhood", and both of them were his guests at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, sitting next to Eva Braun. Was Unity Hitlers other mistress, and was she carrying his child when she returned to Britain? Why was she so enamoured with the SS and why wasn't she bothered by the violence that surrounded her? Join Keith as he answers all these questions and much much more.
