Hanna Reitsch longed to fly. Having broken records and earned the
respect of the Nazi regime, she was the first female Luftwaffe test
pilot, and eventually became Adolf Hitler's personal heroine. An
ardent Nazi, Hanna was prepared to die for the cause, first as a
test pilot for the dangerous V1 flying bombs and later by
volunteering for a suggested Nazi 'kamikaze' squadron. After her
capture she complained bitterly of not being able to die with her
leader, but she went on to have a celebrated post-war flying
career. She died at the age of 67, creating a new mystery - did
Hanna kill herself using the cyanide pill Hitler had given her over
thirty years earlier? Hitler's Heroine reveals new facts about the
mysterious pilot and cuts through the many myths that have
surrounded her life and death, bringing this fascinating woman back
to life for the twenty-first century.
