Define & Justify: The area which I have chosen to study is the topic of Unity Mitford, 1914-1948. in my study I will pay specific attention to Unity and her abiding search for Hitler during this time period. I felt this was a very underdone topic which deserved a lot more gratitude than what it was getting. Although this all happened before my time period i still found it extremely interesting, my curiously into Hitler came from studying him as part of my research topic so i knew from the beginning of my topic that i wanted Hitler to be the prime focus of my study. When i came across Unity’s story i was instantly curios to find out more on it.
Aims: While doing this project i aimed to find out how Unity's addiction to Hitler first began. I wanted to find out how her search for Hitler began, progressed, and turned into the magnificent chronicle which it is today. I hoped to find out if this contributed to Unity and her connection to the state of Germany. I also want to see if Unity has any of the same unique charastics which Hitler embodies. I hoped to develop self directed learning and a sense of critical thinking and learning skills. I hoped to progress my spirit to gain a further understanding into Unity and her life.
Initial Approach: Oral Source: i.e. Interview. My oral source i hoped would be a interview with Unity’s sister Deborah, Dowager Duchess of Devonshire (born 31 March 1920), née The Hon. Deborah is the youngest and last surviving of the six noted Mitford sisters whose political affiliations and marriages were a prominent feature of English culture in the 1930s and 1940s. She was born in Astral Manor, Oxfordshire, England. I heard about this interview from a family friend who is studying German History in college in Limerick at the moment although she didn't give me the exact name of where I could find this interview so I might find it difficult to find the interview. i hope this interview will answer all reverent questions which I
