The revelation follows the discovery of secret diaries from British socialite Unity Mitford.
Adolf Hitler’s “English girlfriend” was bullied by Joseph Goebbels because she said she did not like Benito Mussolini, her secret diaries have revealed.
On Friday, September 24, she wrote: “I phoned the Osteria, waitress said he is coming, drive to Osteria, the fuhrer arrives 2.15pm with Goebbels and the usuals, sends for me, he is sweet. Then we talk of Mussolini. The others set on me and I almost cried.” Hitler allegedly used Mitford as a mouthpiece to ensure the British believed he had reservations about Mussolini, according to reports.
A number of high-ranking Nazi officials thought Hitler might “blurt out” secrets to Mitford when they were alone together, according to the outlet’s podcast series about the diaries.
