Wild theory claims Hitler has a love child living in the UK

Adolf Hitler may have had a secret lovechild who ended up living in Britain.

The dictator did not have any children, but one theory has now emerged involving a British aristocrat, who was a known fascist and very close to Hitler and his circle.

This was Unity Mitford, one of the six aristocratic Mitford sisters, the daughters of Lord Redesdale, who have since become known for their extreme differences of political views.

These ranged from Jessica Mitford, who was a fully dedicated communist who would renounce her aristocratic background, over to Unity, who would become an active and supporter of Hitler and the Nazi Party, even travelling to Germany and actively stalking Hitler.

When war broke out in 1939, Unity attempted to kill herself by shooting herself in the head.

However, she survived the attempt and was brought back to Britain, where there were calls for her to be tried as a traitor.

Unity remained openly loyal to the Nazi Party, telling the press on her arrival home: “I’m very glad to be in England, even if I’m not on your side.”

She would later die in 1948 from complications resulting from her suicide attempt.

During her time in Germany, Unity became close to Hitler, even being allowed into his personal box at the Berlin Olympic Games in 1936, with Hitler paying for her accommodation in Munich.

When Hitler announced that Nazi Germany would annex Austria on March 15, 1938, Unity was on the balcony with him.

But now new books have questioned if Unity's relationship with Hitler had gone even further, speculating that they may have had a relationship that resulted in a child.

For her part, Unity deeply admired Hitler, with historian and author of The Peculiar Sex Life of Adolf Hitler, Siobhan Pat Mulcahy, telling The Sun: “It started out as a girlish crush but over time it became an obsession.

“She moved to Germany so she could stalk him. She even learned German so she could impress him.”

Journalist Martin Bright examined the theory, making a short film called Hitler's Girl, which examined how Unity disappeared from public life after her return to the UK.

Val Hann was among the people he spoke to, and claimed that her aunt Betty Norton had worked at a maternity home in Oxfordshire, and that Unity had gone there in early 1940 and given birth to a baby boy.

“She [Betty] always said it was Hitler’s,” Val said.

Bright said that there was no definitive proof, but told The Sun it seemed odd that someone would go to a maternity hospital to convalesce for a bullet wound.

He told the paper: “I think circumstantially, it’s likely that she [Unity] did spend some time in a secret home for women of the aristocracy who had babies that maybe their families didn’t want people to know about."

He added: “What was she doing there? Was she recuperating from her injuries? It is a strange place to recuperate from if you’ve had a bullet in the head."
