Hitler's Love Child Alive and Well In England?

The Boys of Brixton?

She was the English aristocrat who became so enamoured with Hitler that she shot herself in the head at the outbreak of war.

Unity Mitford, the daughter of Lord Redesdale, had been so entwined in the Führer’s inner circle that British secret services described her as “more Nazi than the Nazis”. But could this cousin of Winston Churchill have been closer to Hitler than anyone suspected?

An article published today raises the possibility that Mitford, who survived her suicide attempt, may have given birth to his child.

If the theory that this baby was born in a tiny Cotswolds village and rapidly adopted were true, Hitler’s child could be living somewhere in Britain today.

...

Martin Bright, writing in the New Statesman, describes a phone call he received from a woman called Val Hann that suggested there could be more to it: “She explained that her aunt Betty Norton had run a maternity home to the gentry in Oxfordshire during the war and that Unity Mitford had been one of her clients.

“Her aunt’s business, in the tiny village of Wigginton, had depended on discretion and she had told no one except her sister that Unity had had a baby. Her sister had passed the story on to her daughter Val.”

When asked who the father of this child might be, Ms Hann paused before replying: “Well, she always said it was Hitler’s.”

The full article throws a lot of cold water on this. I'm just highlighting the stuff that suggests it's true because, well, a man can dream, can't he?

Not about the possibility of a New Fuehrer. Just about the possibility that there's not just hippy tail, but fascist tail out there.
