Armed with that information, the trail could be picked up in the local street directories. Savitri Devi’s Werl prison file contains a letter of her husband to the British authorities – ratting out one of her right-wing contacts: Max Aloe of Blücherstraße 10 in Alfeld.

And when I also learned that she had visited Holzminden (close to my place of birth) and had actually lived and worked in Hannover, where I have lived and worked for twenty years, well, my research into that chapter of her life was born. Early on in my preoccupation with Savitri Devi, I learned that she had spent time in Alfeld an der Leine – which is a neighbouring town. ![]()
