The Resume

    (August 8, 1914-May 28, 1948)
    Daughter of David Freeman-Mitford, 2nd Baron Redesdale
    Sister of Nancy, Jessica and Diana Mitford
    Shot herself in the head when World War II started
    Died in England of complications from her suicide attempt

Why she might be annoying:

    She was rumored to be Adolph Hitler's mistress.
    Hitler called her 'a perfect specimen of Aryan womanhood.'
    Hitler set her up in an apartment confiscated from a Jewish family.
    She wrote, 'We think with joy of the day when we shall be able to say with might and authority: England for the English! Out with the Jews!' (1935)

Why she might not be annoying:

    Jessica Mitford said, 'Although I hated everything she stood for, she was easily my favorite sister.'
    She was the only one of Hitler's personal friends allowed to bring up the topic of politics.
    She urged Hitler to avoid going to war with England.
    She said she loved Germany and England equally and would rather die than see either one destroyed.
