TV Documentary Already On The Way

Three Germans, two men and a woman, say a new DNA test proves they were the illegitimate children of aviation pioneer Charles Lindbergh.

Now, the question is, what effect will the births have on the Lindbergh legacy?

Dyrk and David Hesshaimer and their sister, Astrid Bouteuil, claim Lindbergh – a decided pacifist in the years leading up to America’s involvement in WWII – was their real father. They say they don’t want anything from the Lindbergh Foundation, based in Anoka (MN). Instead, they plan to write a book about their parents’ affair.

A documentary on them is already being made for a TV network in Germany.

As further evidence that Lindbergh, the first person ever to solo non-stop across the Atlantic Ocean, was their real father, the three offered up 112 letters they say he wrote to their mother over the years.

Lindbergh crossed the Atlantic in 1927. He married Anne Morrow two years later. In 1932, the couple’s first baby was kidnapped and later found murdered.  The Lindbergh’s remained married until Charles died in 1974.

His wife died in 2001, as did the woman with whom he allegedly had the affair, Brigitte Hesshaimer.
