In 1934 Christabel Burton married Peter Bielenberg, a young Hamburg lawyer and in doing so became a German citizen. This is her account of her life in Nazi Germany before and during the war and of the attempts of her husband and his friends to organise opposition to the regime, culminating in the tragedy of the failed July 1944 plot. There's humour as well as horror in this extraordinary tale.
