As war was declared, did Unity Mitford try to return to Britain? She’d bought a gun and written a last will and testament - so, what was going on inside her head? Was the once frivolous socialite realising the full horror of her situation? Listen to find out!
Sandra Parsons, Literary Editor of the Daily Mail, explores world-exclusive extracts from Unity Mitford’s personal diary - revealing the fears and tension in those days before and after Britain was drawn into war with Germany.
In this final episode, Unity takes a day trip to Dachau concentration camp, moves into an apartment where the Jewish owners have been evicted, and finds herself increasingly alone, on a bed that she’s draped with swastika flags.
