Unity Mitford's story is a strange one. I remember reading about it in Jessica Mitford's autobiography. How odd that she, a British subject, should be born in a town named Swastika, be named "Unity Valkyrie", and become an ardent fan of Hitler and the Nazis! Such symbolism argues more than just the laws of chance...it suggests a spiritual synchronicity which draws like to like and shapes people and events. If, by some turn of destiny, England had chosen to ally itself with the Nazis in the 30's and 40's, then Unity would clearly have gone on to a glorious career. That, however, was not in the cards. Instead, she was indirectly destroyed by the war between England and Germany.
