Hitler's British Girl - Channel 4
On September 3rd 1939, 25 year old English aristocrat Unity Mitford walked into a Munich park and shot herself in the head. Distraught at the prospect of England declaring war on her beloved Fuhrer, Britain’s most notorious Nazi was determined to make the ultimate act of fanatical devotion. But, miraculously, she survived to live out the war in Britain. This is the extraordinary story of how Churchill's cousin became one of Hitler’s closest confidantes and of the mysterious circumstances in which she returned home. MI5 had wanted her searched, interned and interrogated, but the woman once rumoured to be Hitler’s bride, remained free for the rest of the war, officially declared a brain damaged invalid. With original testimony, and the release of secret documents from the Home Office and MI5, for the first time the film reveals what really happened to 'Hitler's Girl'.
