Hitler's First Lady

by Malcolm Blair-Robinson

Lise Bauer is born in Africa in 1906, brought to England by her parents from where she is expelled with them in 1914, because her father is an East Prussian. They settle in America and become Americans, but return to Europe in the 1920’s. Here Lise is involved in the rise of the Nazi party, marries one of Hitler’s closest associates and later has a relationship with Hitler himself, before divorcing her husband and marrying an English friend of Hitler’s deputy, Rudolf Hess. She settles again in England with the consent of the security services and she and her husband establish a cell to act as a secret communication channel between Hitler and Churchill at the critical period of WWII. The novel offers a new view of Hitler’s love life, a plot to overthrow Churchill and the flight to Scotland by Rudolf Hess. Using historical characters often portrayed in a new light, this fictional account challenges the accepted view of recorded history. It leaves readers wondering why they were they never told about the double lives and events shrouded in secrecy.

This book is an absolutely fascinating read. Malcolm Blair-Robinson has crafted a bold and meticulously researched novel that offers a completely new perspective on some of the most pivotal moments of World War II. The story of Lise Bauer is utterly compelling, weaving together her involvement with the Nazi party, her relationship with Hitler, and her later role as a secret communication channel between Hitler and Churchill. The way the author blends historical fact with fiction is masterful, and the result is a story that challenges everything you thought you knew about this period.

To the author, I offer my sincere admiration for writing such a courageous and thought provoking book. This is a must read for fans of historical fiction and anyone intrigued by the untold stories of the twentieth century. Highly recommended.
