Hermine Reuss of Greiz is perhaps better known as the second wife
of the Kaiser (Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany) whom she married
shortly after the death of his first wife Auguste Viktoria and
while he was in exile in the Netherlands. She was by then a widow
herself with young children. She was known to be ambitious about
wanting to return to power, and her husband insisted on her being
called 'Empress'. To achieve her goal, she turned to the most
powerful man in Germany at the time, Adolf Hitler. Unfortunately,
her dream was not realised as Hitler refused to restore the
monarchy and with the death of Wilhelm in 1941, Hermine was forced
to return to her first husband's lands. She was arrested shortly
after the end of the Second World War and would die under
mysterious circumstances while under house arrest by the Red Army.
