Page "Anne Morrow Lindbergh" Paragraph 18

According to Rudolf Schröck, author of Das Doppelleben des Charles A. Lindbergh ( Heyne Verlag, 2005 ), from 1957 until his death in 1974, Charles had an affair with Brigitte Hesshaimer, a Bavarian woman 24 years his junior, that produced three children, whom he supported financially.

In 2003, a spokeman for the Hesshaimer family indicated that DNA tests conducted by the University of Munich proved that Lindbergh fathered the three children.

According to Schröck, Charles also had sexual relationships with Brigitte's sister Marietta, who bore him two sons, and with his former private secretary, who bore him two more children.
