Goebbels Mistress
Goebbels who was very popular with women had a mistress from Czechcoslavakia during the war! I don't remember her name but he was really in love with her. Of course that's what he said... That Poor Magda... She was blond, very elegant and had slavic origin. It's so ironic that the propaganda minister of the Third Reich was having an affair with a women from Czechoslovakia!

Goebbels Mistress
Benoit,
Goebbels mistress name was Lida Baarova.
Quite a few of the Third Reich personnel had mistresses e.g.
Martin Bormann - Manja Behrens
Adolf Eichmann - Marjit Kutschera & Maria Masenbucher
Heinrich Himmler - Hedwig Potthast
Josef Mengele - Irma Griese
Julius Streicher - Anni Seitz
Hope this helped

Re: Goebbels Mistress
I don't know what ethnic origins Baarova had, but she doesn't sound much like the Nazi image of a typical 'slav'. There were living within the Sudetenland regions of Czechoslovakia many 'ethnic Germans', the existence of whom Hitler used as a lever to get the Sudetenland annexed and, effectively, to disarm the whole country. Czechoslovakia had built, within the Sudeten regions, very considerable defences facing the German border. When Hitler et al. managed to get these areas ceded by political means it left the rest of the country at Germany's mercy.Benoit Douville wrote:Goebbels ... had a mistress from Czechcoslavakia ...

But anyway, the point is that just being from Czechoslovakia does not necessarily make one non-aryan. It is still ironic I suppose, especially when one considers how Goebbels' own appearance measured up to the idealized images of physical perfection seen in many of his movies.
Cheers,
K.

Irma Griese. Wasn't she staff in a KZ lager during the war?. Or I am mixing two persons here?Indra Ross wrote:Benoit,

Different Irma's
There was also an Irma Grese, that was an Auschwitz concentration camp guard over female prisoners. Seems like she was quite the sadist. She was condemned to death and hanged in 1946.
The other Irma's last name was spelled with an 'i', GRIESE.
Thanks
