Description
Hilda Campbell's life was one of unexpected twists and turns. Born in 1889 in the north of Scotland, she married German national Dr Willy Bűttner Richter in 1912, and after a honeymoon in Scotland, they settled in Hamburg. Tragedy struck when Dr Richter died in 1938, but Hilda's life took another dramatic turn as she became embroiled in the espionage world. As a double agent, controlled by Gerhardt Eicke in Germany and Lawrence Thornton in Britain, Hilda navigated a complex web of loyalty and deception. Her personal life was further complicated by her son Otto's involvement with the German Army, and the evidence she provided at the Nuremberg Trials would prove to be a heavy burden. This remarkable story is based on the life of the author's great aunt, Hilda Campbell, and includes several authentic accounts.
