Notorious "English friend" of Adolf Hitler and sister-in-law to Sir Oswald Mosley, there is absolutely no doubt which side Unity Valkyrie Mitford would have chosen in the Very British Civil War - Fascism and the BUF!

| Unity Valkyrie Mitford |
Unity was born on 8th August 1914, just four days after the outbreak of World War One. By 1935, she was in Munich (purportedly to improve her German) and had succeeded in engineering a meeting with Adolf Hitler at the Osteria Bavaria, the Fuhrer's favourite Munich restaurant. Over the next few years, allegedly whilst working for an Anglo-German rapprochement, she consolidated her famous friendship - and reputation as a Fascist fanatic and virulent anti-Semite.
