GUEST, Sminky Hitler: Folk Songs part in his downfall (6) RE: Hitler: Folk Songs part in his downfall 13 Sep 10

I've looked a bit deeper into this story - the ending is not pretty.

Margery Myers Booth's birth is registered at Wigan in 1906.

On August 8th, 1936 she marries Doctor Egon Strohm at All Saints church, Southport.

After her exploits in Germany she escapes to Bavaria where she is picked up by the advancing US Army.

She divorces and goes back to England where she makes her information available for the Old Bailey trials of William Joyce (Lord Haw Haw) and John Amery. Both men are hanged.

She recovers her British nationality and returns to live in Wigan. However, because of her German connections she is treated like a pariah by her neighbours and she emigrates to the United States.

She dies of cancer in New York in 1952 at the age of 47.

There is no record of her ever singing again after the war.

Bless her heart, she didn't deserve that.
