Unity Mitford marries Hitler in 1937

After meeting AH in 1932, having been introduced by her sister Diana who was living with Mosley, Unity was besotted with Adolf. Having stalked him while learning German, she told several prominent Brits and a Germans that Adolf was the only man for her.

Changes which might follow a 1937 wedding?
 
Probably none. Unless Hitler allowed her to get pregnant, and fatherhood tweaked his personality a little (not uncommon, there are actual hormonal changes and such).

I'm not sure on how well it would play domestically. OTOH, she's foreign, not a nice German girl. OTOH, she's an English aristocrat and it could appeal to the German national pride.
 
Come on, her name says it all Unity Mit (German for With) Ford (Hitler loved Henry Ford)

The stars are aligning, a match made in Heaven (Hell?)

Softens the image abroad, links to England, shot in the arm for the fascist there

Cpuld it be the straw that breaks the camel's back in the dark days of 1940?

"Well he has an English wife and kid perhaps we could deal with him?"

or it would be funny if as stated above fatherhood changes the Fuhrer just enough to make him think twice about going to war with England

So instead of invading Poland he tries all the same tricks that snagged the Reich Czechoslovakia

What do the Nazis (drifting towards being the Notzis) do if a pillar of their new policy is no war with England?

Also, does Adolf and wife eventually get shot and killed by a jealous jilted Eva Braun?
 
Hitler: (on the phone, sotto voce) "Look, it's off. The war, you idiot, that's what's off! The whole damn war is off. I know what I said, but she went through the roof when I told her about it. Says I spend too much time at work as it is, and she at least wants me home at nights. Says the kids need their father around more. I don't know. I. Just. Don't. Know. Look, shut up, would you, and stop laughing. Maybe..maybe if I take her to the damn flower show, and dinner afterwards, I can sweet-talk her into letting me invade France. Maybe I can sell her on how swell it would be to have the French Riviera as our own private vacation spot. Russia's gonna be a tougher sell, that's for damn sure. What can you do? I'll tell you what you can do, you can babysit my kids that weekend, that's what you can do! Christ, what a mess! I bet Stalin doesn't have these problems."

Seriously?

Wasn't Hitler infertile, or otherwise would find it very hard to get a woman pregnant?

Never mind that Adolf did everything he could to make himself appear the bachelor until he gained power.

Yes, Hitler's only wife was supposed to be the German nation herself.
 
Hitler seemed to have issues with sex, he didn't want to be seen having it, having had it or to be contemplating it. This started well before WWI. And TWO delusionals marrying one another isn't going to mitigate Hitler's dreams of Empire, she's going to be encouraging him. She was just a different sort of crazy.
 
The most important consequence is that once Hitler is married to a British noble there is a real chance that he can declare himself the true king of England and confuse the RN just long enough while they go back and check the genealogies that by the time they realize it's all BS the German army has occupied London.

I think we have finally found a solution for Sea Lion.

Oh, a serious answer? Sorry. I can't see him marrying a foreigner for political reasons. Poor Unity.

Wasn't Hitler heavily into corporophilia? And didn't most of his 'girlfriends' or liaisons commit suicide?
 
If Goebbels, who famously had no balls at all, can have six kids; then Hitler should manage just fine.
...it took me a moment.

His two most famous, Geli and Eva, did commit suicide. But the "evidence" about corporophilia comes strictly from Otto Strasser, who had quite the axe to grind with Hitler. You know... murdering his brother, having him exiled...
 
So Unity Mitford becomes Frau Hitler in 1937:
-The Nazis declare the people of the British Isles Aryan.
-In 1939 once the war begins Unity is declared a traitor by the British government. She makes propaganda broadcasts during the war. Unity is called "the other Berlin Bitch" by allied troops. Axis Sally gets more respect.
-Hitler leaves Unity home in Berlin and Berchtesgaden when he goes to France in 1940 for the armistice. When Barbarossa starts, Hitler again leaves the wife at home while he stays in the Wolf's Lair. He says he is leaving his family behind like the common German Soldier.
-Unity Hitler passes out Mother's crosses and visits bombed out areas. The Hitlers have no children. The official party excuse is "all Germans are the Fuhrer's children". Maybe Hitler keeps Eva Braun around as a mistress. Unity doesn't mind as long as she gets to play the Fuhrer's wife.
-Unity is in the Bunker in 1945. Maybe the Russians give the British her remains.
- Conspiracy theories flourish about Unity Hitler. Was she brainwashed? How much did she know about the Holocaust? Was there a secret child? Did Churchill want her dead? If she survived would Unity have been hanged for treason?
