A Love story
that had an impact on WW2
Aimée de Heeren and Joe Kennedy Jr
and the Cedre Imperial Meudon




Rio de Janeiro 1930s

1919 Aimée Sotto Maior and her sister Vera arrive in Rio
She is the daughter of a school teacher from Parana.
She studies languages, English, Spanish, Italian, German
Everybody is captivated by her overwhelming beauty ...

1923 Getulio Vargas becomes a deputy and starting a political career



Getulio Vargas
1930 November 3 Getulio Vargas becomes provisional President of Brazil.
1933 January 30 Adolf Hitler seizes power in Germany and becomes Chancellor of Nazi German Reich.
1933 November 8 Franklin Delano Roosevelt becomes the 32nd President of the United States.

1936 November 27 Roosevelt comes to Brazil for a State Visit.
1937 Vargas turns into the President of the non democratic Brazilian "Estado Nuovo".


Aimee Sotto Maior / Aimee de Heeren with Getulio Vargas
Among the people surrounding the President is
Aimée Sotto Maior.

1934 September Aimée accompanies Luis Simoes Lopes
send to Berlin to meet the new German regime.
The minister of propaganda receives them.
They arrive from Zurich via a Zeppelin.

1937 Vargas is invited to make Brazil join the Axis Powers,
together with Germany, Italy and Japan.
Germany is a strong trade partner for Brazil
Vargas has a certain admiration for the new German regime.


1938 Before signing an alliance with the Axis powers
Vargas decides to send Aimée Sotto Maior to Paris
to conduct investigations around Europe.
Vargas doesn't trust the jugement of his different ambassadors in Europe.




Paris 1938

Aimée Sotto Maior / Aimée de Heeren
Aimée arrives in Paris like a bombshell.
Hi society is in rage that a woman of such beauty
covered with diamonds,
dressed in haute couture
shoping from one fashion designer to another
permanently living in Grand Hotels
has so much money
and all this without a husband,
something unthinkable at the time.



Hotel Plaza Athenee 1939
Aimée first residence in Paris
the Hotel Plaza Athenée, avenue Montaigne
followed by the Hotel Meurice, rue de Rivoli

According to Bettina Ballard,
editor in chief of Vogue France
"Hung with diamonds,
she was pushed from fittings to balls,
never allowed a moment for private conquest
because every hostess needed her
for her party
to prove that she could draw the lioness of the season."


Nobody imagins that the "wealthy South American heiress"
that is so into fashion and stylish parties
is in reality the daughter of a poor school teacherfrom Castro,
a small city in the state of Parana.
The government of Brazil pays for all her expenses
with a a special mission "secret service agent".






Coco Chanel with Dmitri Romanovlogo Chanel
Someone that really wants to know her is Coco Chanel.
Chanel doesn't realise that Aimée uses her to get connections and information.
Mademoiselle loves to be accompanied by Aimée when she goes out
making her meet her former boyfriend Dmitri Romanov,
Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway,
and many people you know from history books.


Escalier Cremerie de Paris
Gabrielle Chanel shows Aimée her little secrets,
a spectacular staircase next to Cremerie de Paris
with a N°5 forged into the railings.
A place where Louis XIV had spend parts of his childhoon.


Cèdre Imperial Meudon
There is also a magical tree in Meudon,
a beautiful small town between Paris and Versailles,
the Cedre Imperial Meudon.



11 - 15 rue de la Republique
According to legends from Russia
this tree that is of extreme beauty
has the power to transmit good energy.
He lives in Meudon 6.6 km from the Eiffel Tower
in the garden of the "Villa Les Cèdres";
11 - 15 rue de la Republique, once upon a time called rue Napoléon.

The legends come from Dmitri Romanov
Chanel's former boyfriend
who had grown up in St Petersburg.
Alexandra Feodorovna / Alix Hessen
told the children fairytales from France
she had heard as a child from
the old Empress Eugenie living in Britian in exile.

All the Romanov children wanted to travel to Meudon
to be able to touch the tree. They had a picture of the cedre
from their cousin Vladimir Paley that grew up in Boulogne sur Seine
and that had send them the above postcard (picture taken around 1900).



London 1938

US Ambassador KennedyKennedy Family

Helmuth James von Moltke
In London (probably in London) she also meets a German
from a family with long military traditions,
Helmuth James von Moltke (1907 - 1945).

The great uncle of Moltke was a famous Prussian General.
He also had non German roots
through his mother Dorothy Rose-Innes born in South Africa.
Moltke worked as a lawyer in Berlin.
and helped jewish business people to leave the country.

Well connected in Germany
Motke had bad news for Aimée
fully informing and documenting her about Hitlers
plans with the jewish population.




Paris / Meudon 1939

Aimée de Heeren
Back in Paris Aimée realises she has to do everything she could
to stop President Vargas to enter into an alliance with this horrible German regime.

From a Secret Service agent simply transmitting information
she turned into a Secret Anti Nazi activist.
To continue her work.
she had to keep that cover of a "superficial fashionista"
that understood nothing about politics.


Cedre Imperial Meudon
She returned to the magical cedar tree in Meudon
Chanel has shown her. Meditating in from of the tree
she tried to find the force to do the right things.
Aimée secretly rents a little room
in a house facing the magical tree.

The room gives her the possibility to eclipse from her
Professional Luxury Life in the Grand Hotels.

Aimée realises she needs to pass information on President Roosevelt.
She had met him in Rio but she did not have a personal contact.
Aimée needs to find help.

The two young Americans she had met in London might be the right ones.
She could feel that the boys had fancied her.
Sons of the US Ambassado they might be able
to get in touch with the Roosevelt Administration
to inform them about what she knew.



view observatoire Meudon
1939 February Patrick Joseph Kennedy Jr comes in Paris.
He connects with Aimée.
Aimée meets him at the Plaza Athenée
and then they take a long walk along the river Seine to Meudon.

She shows him the breathtaking view from the observatoire
from where you can see the southern Paris skyline, the Eiffel Tower
and the magical Cedre Imperial.
The walk continues to 11 rue de la Republique, home of the tree.

Aimée takes the young Kennedy to the little room
she had rented as a hideaway.





This video shows the magical view on the Cedre Imperial
Aimée Sotto Maior and Joe Kennedy
watch the birds visiting the tree while the night comes to Paris.
In the background trains to Versailles cross the Meudon Viaduc.
and on the other side of the tree the Eiffel Tower.


Something happens
that should never happen to a Secret Service Agent.

They fall in Love.
A story that started next to the Cedre Imperial Meudon
6.6 km from the Eiffel Tower ...


At the time illumination of the tree was different.
Sparkeling ligts on the tower only exist since the millenum night
and many of the buildings you see in the skyline
had not been constructed.




In the morning Aime and Joe Jr watch the raise of the sun.

Joe stays a few days but he has to continue his journey to Perpignan.
They decide to see again as soon as possible.



Aimée de Heeren
Aimée continues her Secret Service Agent live in Paris,
going from one party to another,
accompanying Coco Chanel to events,
shopping fashion,
getting information
and creating a stirr wherever she arrives.





1939 July 1 Second Circus Ball Reception in Versailles

A book that illustrates Aimées live in France
was written by Charlie Scheibs
documenting the two fabolous
Circus Ball Parties given in Versailles
June 1938 and 1939 by Elsie de Wolfe / Lady Mendl.

Aimée Sotto Maior
Christian Dior, still an unknown designer working
for Robert Piguet partly owes his career to the fact that Aimée wore at the ball
a dress he had designed.
The exitement around Aimée attracts the attention of Marcel Boussac
who would later finance the launch of the House of Dior.

and to slowly orient him to become a partner of the not jet formed Allies Coalition (United States / UK / de Gaulle).

The State of Brazil continues to provide financial ressources
so she and her sister Vera can settle in an elegant appartment on Park Avenue.

Aimée and Joe Kennedy meet again,

Trying to influence decision makers in the US
to take action against Germany.

Aimée knows she has to get in touch with President Roosevelt.

but getting close to him is very difficult.

Aimée wants to meet Roosevelt to inform him about all she knoe from James von Moltke

Many years later


Aimée de Heeren, Ben Solms
1986 June 7 the same Aimée Sotto Maior,
now called Aimée de Heeren meets a joung student, editor of this article.

The student is introduced to her at a birthday party in Bavaria.
Johannes von Thurn & Taxis, the host of the party tells him
"I want you to make a good impression on my friend from Brazil.
She could be a spectacular connection for your future."


Luckily Aimee had a large dress that needed to return to Paris.
Taking the dress back on the plane was a little complicated.
As the student had come by car he was asked the favor
to carry the dress back to France.
An opportunity to meet again and having an ice cream at the Hotel Meurice
followed the next week end by a drive to Fontainebleau
and 1986 august an invitation to Biarritz.



There is someting that captivated both of them.
Aimée and the young student knew some crazy stories
from a long time ago.
The stories happend at the Cremerie de Paris,
a milk store at the Les Halles foodmarket
and around a magical cedar tree in Meudon near Paris.

The stories came from Russia
Aimée knew them through her friends Coco Chanel and Dmitri Romanov,
the editor of this article through his great uncle and great aunt
that were his baby sitters when he was a child.


The student had no idea about Aimées real age,
a secret she kept until the last days of her life.
There was quite an age difference
but impossible to imagine the age difference would be the double of what he had thought.

No idea his new friend was one of WW2 most important Secret Service agent
and that she had influenced the Presidents of two countries
to take action against the German Reich.

A friendship that would last.




Ben Solms, Aimée de Heeren
Living between the New York, Palm Beach, Paris and Biarritz
Aimes was in the French capital
in the months of june, september, october and november
and in Biarritz july and august.



Joe Kennedy Jr Meudon
From time to time she asks the student to drive her to the beautiful small town of Meudon
When arriving in Meudon
the car is parked in the former botanical garden of the Villa Les Cedres,
now partly converted into a parking space.

Aimée puts her arm around the tree.
The editor of this article is not allowed to talk to her
while she is meditating and absorbing good energy.

Unfortunately Aimée had no longer acces to the room
with the magical view which - a long time ago - had fascinated
her and the young Joe Kennedy Jr.
So she could only describe
it's overwhelming view.


Sometimes a friend came along.
Mostly visitors from Brazil or from the US.
Or Mademoiselle Jourdan
a rather annoying Lady that had worked in fashion.
Madameoiselle Jourdan that followed us in her own car
was driving so dangerously that several
accidents could have happened every time.

Once a rfascinating gentlement
Joe's young brother Ted Kennedy
who frequently came to visit Paris.

He stayed at the Ritz.

Too bad the editor of this article did not ask
if he could record the conversation in the car,
it would be a historic document today.

After visiting the Cedre Imperial the trip continues to the parc de Saint Cloud.




2002 November 19 a reception in the Paris Musee de Arts Decoratifs
something a little surrealistic happened.
The expo was about the dresses Jacky Kennedy wore while see was at the White House.
Jacky's daughter Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg,
her sister Lee Radziwill and her brother in law Ted Kennedy
came for the inauguration.

Ted Kennedy, Aimée de HeerenAimée de Heeren, Kennedy
Walking around the cocktail of the Expo Opening night
Françoise Dumas, a Paris Event organiser
comes to Aimée telling her that
the Senator Kennedy had requested to see her.
The editor of this article and Aimée are directed to a seperate room.

Bernadette Chirac (wife of the still very much loved president Jacques Chirac)
and the hostess of the event Liliane Bettencourt
are waiting to meet the Senator.
Aimée and the editor of this article are sitting in a corner
talking to Caroline Kennedy and her husband.
The conversation is about Carolines late grandmother Rose Kennedy (1890 - 1995)
who had become a friend of Aimée .




Suddendly to door opens,
bung

The Senator arrives with his daughter Kara.

He is so exited to see Aimée he completely forgets
to great the official Ladies that are waiting for him.

He drops a kiss to Aimée
and tells his daughter Kara and his nice Caroline

"Aimée did not only facinate your oncle Joe Jr,
(that had died before they were born)
but also JFK,
Robert,
myself
and your grandfather."


Whenever Aimée was in Palm Beach
the Kennedy House was completely crazy.
In Palm Beach Aimée lived on 473 North County Road.
The Kennedy house also called the "Winter White House"
was on 1095 North Ocean Boulevard.



The conversation continued
with Ted and Aimée singing Brazilian songs
they used to sing half a century before
when Ted was a teenager.


Aimée de Heeren with Ted Kennedy
The story sounds a little surrealistic,
only Bernadette Chriac or Caroline Kennedy
would be able to witness it tody.

Besides two tiny snapshot the editor of this article took at the time,
there were no pictures.
(The lost orginals reapperaed in Germany 2021 june 12)






Cèdre Impérial à Meudon
This article came alive because
a real estate project circulates around the beautiful city of Meudon.
The magical Cèdre Impérial is supposed to be cut down
to make space for a building.

Some officials push the lovely little towns around Paris
to urbanise and let real estate promotion
replace magical old houses, gardens, trees

The Cedre Imperial is one of these trees in danger ...


2021 May 8 Anniversary of the end of World War 2
The editor is reading a fascinating book from Emmanuelle Declerck
that documents what has happened in Meudon during WW2.

Wasn't this the moment to bring to paper
the Aimée & Joe Kennedy story that started in Meudon
and had a real impact on WW2.

Aimee had told the editor of this article a lot about Joe Kennedy Jr.
He could feel that - over half a century later -
she still loved him.
He had seen a few pictures
but after Aimée had left this world
he had never seen them again ...

Nobody might might beleive him.

Time to research images on the internet.
2021 May 8 almost midnight
on Getty images
thanks to Bertrand Rindoff Petroff
a famous Paris Event photographer

Embed from Getty Images
The editor of this article
found something.
Oups it was not a picture of Joe and Aimee
but a picture of himself with Joes niece and JFK daughter Caroline Kennedy
The last image of the Panorama shows Aimée in the background
right next to Caroline Kennedy.

With time more pictures will probably reappear.

The man from the Moon



Two names that remain from the Kennedy Presidency outshining aveybodu else ...
are Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin
even though Kennedy couldn't see them walk on the Moon.

Buzz Aldrin by Neil ArmstrongBuzz Aldrin with Aimée de Heeren and Ben Solms, Paris rue de Varenne January 2000
Buzz Aldrin was kind of fascinated by Aimée
not only beaucause of personality
but also because of her life
being connected to President Kennedy, the man
that had taken the decision to send him on the Moon.


1999 - 2005 Buzz and Lois Aldrin used to come to Paris many times
and the editor of this article
had the chance to take them visiting
Paris and the beautiful surroundings of the city.
Mrs Aldrin just loved the Cedre Imperial Meudon
and all its fairytales linked to so much history
and the gardens of Versailles.

Cedre Meudon
Lois Aldrin always told us to make a movie about the Cedre Imperial
She was fascinated by the two centuries of history linked the tree,
the fact that the Cedar was a fairy tale for the Romanov children.
She also knew from Aimée that it was linked to Joe Kennedy Jr.


Ben Solms, Lois Aldrin, Buzz Alsrin
For the Aldrins the Cedre Imperial was a symbol
of the French American friendshiop in difficult times.
They also loved the park of Versailles.
Above picture shows them with the editor of this article.


Two weeks before arriving
the editor received an email.
"We are coming to Paris, we are staying at the Ritz.
These are our numbers (at least 4 numbers were listed).
Do you want to organise something with us ?
Lois and Buzz"


When in Paris Buzz and Lois were like teenagers
enjoying to be in France.
Writing this article was discovered a lovely video
about Lois added at the end.

2006 September 19 Aimée Sotto Maior / Aimée de Heeren dies in New York.
2009 August 25 Ted Kennedy dies in Hyannis Port.

The movie Mrs Aldrin had suggested to make
has not been made yet,
but meeting Mr and Mrs Aldrin
had an influence of the 1999 invention
of the Phone Book of the World.
2021 march the magical Cedre Imperial moved on it's homepage
so that it's view on the Eiffel Tower
can send good energy from France to the World.


Phone Book of the World

Finding people through directories is not always easy.
The Cedar is there to give the users of the Phone Book of the World
energy to keep seraching if finding someone is difficult.

"When looking at the tree
think
about the Aimee & Joe Kennedy Jr Love Story."

If Aimée had not been around
Brazil would most probably have
have allied with Germany.

And if Joe Kennedy Jr had not helped her
to get connections in the US
pushing decision makers
to take action
the US would have taken much longer
to enter WW2 ...

Hard to image how much more
damage WW2 would have left ...





In some way
the Cedre Imperial Meudon
is also a living monument
of Resistance in France

even though one of the resistance fighters
was Brazilian
and the another one American ...

Would it be sad
to sacrify such an iconic monument
for a real estate project ?

Denis Larghero, the Major of Meudon
remembering the end of WW2 (in French - 2021)

Mr Larghero is the present major of the city of Meudon,
owner of the Cedre Imperial.
His speech is very charming (it is in French)
mentionning the French and Non French Resistant fighters
that helped to liberate France.


Cèdre Impérial à Meudon
Unfortunatly Denis Larghero doesn't mention
the role the Cedre Imperial Meudon has played
to give energy to resistants
to chase the Nazis from France.


Video from the GNSA
that is trying to protect the legendary Cedre Ipmerial
the advisors of Denis Larghero want to cut.

projet construction 11 rue de la République à Meudon
Instead some of his advisors
want to cut the tree
to replace it by a new municipal building.

While Meudon was still occupied by the Nazis
during one night the street signs
of Rue de la Republique
were changed into Rue du General De Gaulle.

We would now need the help of de Gaulle
to save the magical tree.




Below Music Video was made
to show the Cedre Imperial in relation to it's +200 year long history.

As Aimée de Heeren never tried to be in the public eye
her relation with Joe Kennedy Jr
is not known.

Only Caroline Kennedy and some of her cousins
might know the story from their uncle Ted.
The editor of this article knows to from Aimée herself.
The tree might have woken it up
and lost photographs start to reappear ...



"Denis Larghero,
please don't cut this tree
linked
to a Story
that had a major impact on World War 2.

Without the Aimée de Heeren
and Joe Kennedy Jr Story
the war might have taken much longer ...

It was very difficult to get President Roosevelt
change his mind
and to make him understand
that the help of the United States was needed.

It's Resistance story that started in Meudon
and that played
a key role in WW2

Think about Joe Kennedy Jr
that lost hios life to liberate France
The Cedre Imperial should be protected
as a historic Monument.

This might be more important
than the "optimisation"
of your real estate portfolio.

There are so many other places in Meudon
that could host the municipal services
your advisors wish to install
on the grounds of the tree.
