Secret Diary of Adolf Hitler’s English girlfriend Unveils ‘Intimate and Shocking’ Details

Long-lost secret diaries of Unity Mitford, the oft-called “Adolf Hitler’s English girlfriend,” have surfaced, bringing new light to her infamous and much-contested relationship with one of history’s most infamous figures. The revelations leave historians and readers both fascinated and appalled by the intimate and horrifying details they reveal about her close association with the Nazi leader.

Unity Mitford, a statuesque blonde from Britain’s aristocracy, scandalized society by openly fawning over Hitler during the years leading up to World War II. The daughter of Lord Redesdale and a first cousin to Clementine Churchill, wife of Sir Winston Churchill, Unity became one of Hitler’s closest British confidantes. Her diaries, which have not been seen for over 80 years, detail her passionate adoration of the dictator, whom she referred to as “the Führer,” “He,” or “Him,” almost as though he was a god. The Daily Mail, which released extracts from the diaries, authenticated their existence through rigorous tests by experts in handwriting, ink, and paper.

The diaries, written over the years of 1935 to 1939, narrate an amazing 139 appointments between Mitford and Hitler. Unity’s intimate entries disclose an individual who more closely resembled the lovesick teen than the engineer of world disaster when she had him to herself. She characterised their contact as “dear” and “amourous”, but always included with an admiring note on his “sweetness”.

One entry reads, “The Führer comes about 2.45. Immediately asks us to his table in garden. He is very sweet & gay…” Another mentions, “He buys us each lottery tickets. He is simply sweet.”

The black leather-bound journal also suggests Unity’s deep penetration into the Nazi ideology and questions the nature of her relationship with Hitler. Although it is unclear whether their bond was purely platonic or crossed into romance, historians believe that she may have been sexually active during her time in Germany.

The last entry in Unity’s diary is dated September 1, 1939, the day Nazi Germany invaded Poland, and it marked the beginning of World War II. Only a few days later, consumed by desperation over the war between her native land and the country she had idolized, Unity tried to commit suicide by shooting herself in Munich’s English Garden park.

Although she survived, the attempt left her with a brain injury, and a bullet remained lodged in her skull until her death in 1948 at age 33.

Historians have termed the discovery of Unity’s diaries as a significant find. Lord Andrew Roberts said, “It is extremely rare in modern times for the diaries of a well-known figure of the Nazi movement to be discovered and published. These records offer a chilling yet fascinating glimpse into one of the most controversial relationships of the 20th century.

The diaries, with their shocking revelations, provide new perspectives on both Unity Mitford and Adolf Hitler, leaving readers grappling with the unsettling intimacy between the two against the backdrop of one of the darkest chapters in history.
