Claims emerge Adolf Hitler had secret British lovechild with English aristocrat

A theory suggests Unity Mitford secretly gave birth to Adolf Hitler’s child in the Cotswolds, but historians find no firm evidence and debate its credibility.

  • A new article published today suggests Unity Mitford may have borne a secret child by Adolf Hitler, with wild theories about a possible boy living in Britain after her withdrawal from public view.
  • Unity Mitford cultivated a close relationship with Adolf Hitler, moving to Munich, Germany, living in a flat he paid for, attending the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games, and standing beside him during the March 15, 1938 Anschluss.
  • Journalist Martin Bright, who made a short film on the topic, spoke with Val Hann, whose aunt Betty Norton ran an Oxfordshire maternity home where Unity was reportedly taken, but Bright found no evidence beyond local speculation.
  • Historians including Siobhan Pat Mulcahy say there is no secret lovechild, with Channel 4 documentary makers finding very little evidence of pregnancy or a sexual relationship with Hitler.
  • Declassified CIA files in recent months have intensified debate about Hitler's sexual life as theories hold Unity may have hidden to give birth in early 1940 amid wartime secrecy.
