Unity Valkyrie Freeman-Mitford (8 August 1914 – 28 May 1948) was a British fascist and aristocrat known for her relationship with Adolf Hitler. Born in the United Kingdom, she belonged to Hitler's inner circle of friends and was a prominent supporter of Nazism, fascism and antisemitism.
Unity was one of the Mitford sisters, six girls born to David Freeman-Mitford, 2nd Baron Redesdale and his wife Sydney Bowles (1880–1963), namely Nancy (born 1904), Pamela (1907), Diana (1910), Unity (1914), Jessica (1917) and Deborah (1920). The sisters had one brother, Tom (born 1909) who was killed in action in 1945.
Unity was in Munich when the United Kingdom declared war on Germany, and she attempted suicide by shooting herself in the head, surviving, but with extensive brain damage. She returned to England but never recovered, ultimately dying in 1948 from consequences of the wound.
