This week Kelli joins Ash again as a special guest to look at the crazy WW2 stories that all spur from one American socialite, Gertie Sanford Legendre, or as the Germans may prefer to know her as Hitler's special guest. If you enjoy our content, please consider a membership or donation through Buy Me A Coffee to support the show and help us gain access to even more resources. Sadly, getting digitized copies of archival material and newspapers can be expensive as well as the cost of getting some of the university printed books. https://www.buymeacoffee.com/litstorypod
