Sissy sent messages back to Sir Oswald of all the things that [[Adolf Hitler]] was doing for [[Germany]] and met the [[Führer]] himself once, sitting by his side. She had a box in [[Nuremberg]], went hunting in the [[Black Forest]] and often made [[Anti-Semitism|antisemitic]] [[joke]]s.

The two went to [[Nazi|Nazi Party]] rallies and receptions together. | ||
On [[2 September]] 1939, Sissy was given an apartment on the [[Hofmannstraße]], entering through the front way whilst the previous residents, the Goldbergs, were escorted out the back.

According to history, Sissy went down to the river and shot herself in the head at midnight on [[3 September]] 1939 in the vain hope of showing the [[United Kingdom]] and Germany that war between the two would be futile. [[Mephistopheles Arkadian]] and Torvald sought to save her, Arkadian wanting to sell her to [[Muriel Joy]] as a stuffed Nazi souvenir and Torvald wanting to cause a second [[anti-time]] crisis to blackmail [[Romana II]], resulting in Torvald ingratiating himself into her life as Erich. | |||
On [[ | On 3 September, Sissy received a [[telegram]] from the British consulate purportedly sent by Charley (but actually by Arkadian), inviting her to return to England. She adopted a [[pseudonym]], travelled to [[Switzerland]] and boarded the [[Transcontinental Express]] at [[Lausanne]], meeting Ms Joy and [[Leela]] and learning the truth about Erich and his plans after being draw into a second train from the original [[time track]]. Erich threw her from the train as it was about to crash into the [[Presidential TARDIS]]. | ||
Sissy was returned to Munich where she wrote a letter to Charley admitting that she had been selfish and turned a blind eye to the terrible things that the Nazis had done. As she could return to England without being imprisoned and had no desire to stay with the Nazis, she chose to commit [[suicide]] and shot herself as history dictated.
