They settle in America and become Americans, but return to Europe in the 1920's. Here Lise is involved in the rise of the Nazi party, marries one of Hitler's closest associates and later has a relationship with Hitler himself, before divorcing her husband and marrying an English friend of Hitler's deputy, Rudolf Hess.
