Frau Ley

 



Maybe the most beautiful of NSDAP women, Inge Ley. Blonde, talented and gorgeous, Inge was born in 1916 in Poland and went on to become a ballerina and singer, a mezzo soprano. The talented and beautiful young woman met Robert Ley, head of the NAZI Labour Front (DAF) in 1935 at a concert in Berlin where she was performing.




Ley, a World War One veteran pilot and violent drunk, seduced Inge with flowers, power and NSDAP funded travel, not least to the Baltics. After a year of Ley's power-Nazi courting, Inge fell prey to her drunken, violent, overweight beast.




Was she seduced by power? Wouldn't be the first time and if so she paid a heavy price. Inge got herself addicted to morphine and threw herself out of a window in 1942. Suicide attempt failed, Inge tried again and succeeded, she shot herself on December 29 1942.

Make of this what you will,
