A year after the foundation of the British Union of Fascists, Oswald Mosley sent a BUF delegation to the 1933 Nuremberg Rally. Here they are with their hosts:

| Members of the BUF Delegation at the 1933 Nuremberg Rally. Diana Mitford recognisable in white. Note young BUF member on left, and be-medalled veteran in Scottish cap second from right, front row. The remainder are presumably German NSDAP members (one on right with Iron Cross). |
All change - young and veteran sitting together. Note Union Jack armbands.
Unity Mitford, just turned 19, is visible in the rear row, several
seats apart from her older sister, Diana. She has yet to acquire her
old sister's "glamour" look.

| Heil ! Although the photograph is cut off, it is fairly obvious that Unity has her right arm raised in salute. |
 |
| Aha ! The reason the Mitford sisters are sitting apart - Diana is sitting with (i.e. seeking to influence) Putzi Hanfstaengl. See his WIKI here. |
 |
| Cropped shot. At this point, who could guess that it would be Unity who would have greatest access to the Fuhrer in the years to come ? |
