Hitler's heroine

2014
Hanna Reitsch became the first female Luftwaffe test pilot. She was an ardent Nazi and prepared to die for the cause. She became Hitler's personal heroine. After her capture she complained bitterly about not being able to die with Hitler, but went on to have a celebrated flying career post-war. She died at the age of 67, creating a new mystery---did she kill herself using the cyanide pill Hilter had given her thirty years earlier?.
