Hilda Campbell was born in the north of Scotland in 1889. She married German national Dr Willy Büttner Richter in 1912. They honeymooned in Scotland and returned to settle in Hamburg. Dr Richter died in 1938. After visiting her ailing parents, Hilda returned to Germany just before the Second World War began. She became a double agent, controlled by Gerhardt Eicke in Germany and Lawrence Thornton in Britain. How could she cope under such strain, and with her son Otto in the German Army? Nor did she expect her evidence to be so cruelly challenged at the Nuremberg Trials. Learn of her post-war life, which took her abroad as a British Ambassador’s wife.
This is an extraordinary story based on the life of the author’s great aunt, Hilda. The book includes several authentic accounts.

Примечания

1

I used the name Gerhardt Eicke as the antagonist throughout the book, as I was unable to identify the true Gestapo individual’s name, the man responsible for instructing Hilda’s espionage in Scotland and the man behind the deportation and death of so many Hamburg Jewish men, women and children. In fact, there were two particular SS men responsible for the majority of Jewish deportations to death camps, including camp Neuengamme near Hamburg. Rudolf Querner was responsible for the deportations between May1941 – June 1943. He was detained after the war in Magdeburg where he cheated his death sentence, by suicide. Between 1943-45 Georg Henning Graf von Bassewitz was the SS officer in charge of policing Hamburg. He died in 1949 as a prisoner of war at Magadan, in Russia.

The Jim and family referred to was my father, Rev Jim Caldwell 1916-1995. ‘And family’ referred to my sister, Joan, and myself. My late brother, Bruce, was yet to be born.
