Facts and Events
Unity Valkyrie Freeman-Mitford (8 August 1914 – 28 May 1948) was a British socialite, known for her relationship with Adolf Hitler. Both in Great Britain and Germany, she was a prominent supporter of Nazism, fascism and antisemitism, and belonged to Hitler's inner circle of friends. After the declaration of World War II, Mitford attempted suicide in Munich by shooting herself in the head. She survived but was badly injured. She was allowed safe passage back to England but never recovered from the extensive brain damage. Unity was one of the six celebrated Mitford sisters, each of whom was notable in her own right for some particular reason or reasons. Her sister Diana was married to Oswald Mosley, leader of the British Union of Fascists.
