How did the aristocrat English socialite Unity Mitford become infatuated with The Führer? How intimate was their relationship? And, as the clouds of war gathered across Europe, why did Adolf Hitler spend hours alone with this woman who was half his age and related to Sir Winston Churchill? Listen to find out!
Sandra Parsons, Literary Editor of the Daily Mail, explores world-exclusive extracts from Unity Mitford’s personal diary - for the first time, Unity’s words tell the story of a bizarre relationship that was both intimate and deeply shocking.
In this first episode, Unity becomes seduced by the dark spectacle of Nazism and sets her sights on befriending Hitler just as the world is waking up to the danger he poses.
