An eerie Canary Islands villa is at the centre of bizarre claims it was once a secret clinic where on-the-run Nazis – including Adolf Hitler – underwent facial reconstruction at the end of World War II.It was having three young children that made her decide to come out, because, to the best of her knowledge, there were no out lesbians in British public life, and she did not want her children to grow up ashamed of having two mothers. Toksvig was warned she might never work again, and the family faced death threats and had to go into hiding. [2] It’s claimed these secret subterranean bunkers offered space to supply and maintain German submarines during World War II, out of sight of the Royal Air Force’s reconnaissance planes.
