Of course, to court favour with the big guns, they both went down this route clearing all Jews out of their respective organisations.<br />Moseley was never linked to Nazi money and therefore escaped the noose.<br />There is a huge gulf of thought between 1933 admiration of a corporate plan to 1939-42/45 utter revulsion of the Nazi project and it shouldn't surprise anyone that the death camp policy was condemned worldwide by all classes.<br />Fascist organisations today don't promote death camps but instead offer central planning as an answer to all our non idealistic ills.<br />Appeasement was the favourite tool of both camps, one being pro Hitlerists who welcomed any invasion and secondly by the left who wanted no armaments to he used between the workers of both Germany and Britain.<br />They didn't want the workers to fight the capitalists wars by proxy (ho hum).<br />Appeasement is not a term that should be bandied around as though it was a sign of weakness when in fact it was Government policy.<br />Churchill routed them.<br /> <br />Gary Elsbynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-53428998532005188082015-07-21T08:42:55.137+01:002015-07-21T08:42:55.137+01:00"Doesn't it make you proud to be British ..."Doesn't it make you proud to be British knowing your head of state comes from this family in perpetuity ;)"<br /><br />No its the endless war mongering to keep our global supremacy that really does it for me.<br /><br />I don't think you will get the royals speaking in support of ISIS incidentally.

Please show some sense comrade. Two things I like about this story it's an example of Murdoch liking for revenge to be served cold, I wonder how much he paid for the clip?. It must have been an expensive meal.<br /><br />The second is what a spring Blunt must have had in his step when he was asked in 1945 to go to Germany to retrieve the correspondence this Nazi loving family had written in the 1930s to their German relations. <br /><br />If academics wish to look into this matter further the KGB archives might be a good place to start, perhaps the only place, for as I write one can smell the bonfire burning at the Royal achieve.<br /><br />Reading today's papers, its a wonder some brown noser didn't claim the Windsor's were only following orders.<br /><br />Doesn't it make you proud to be British knowing your head of state comes from this family in perpetuity ;)Organized Rage.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07627288401631451362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-10062444712702238082015-07-19T12:24:04.814+01:002015-07-19T12:24:04.814+01:00Would you be so good as to fill us in, Gary?Would you be so good as to fill us in, Gary?Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06298147857234479278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-33128128641967284872015-07-19T12:05:41.704+01:002015-07-19T12:05:41.704+01:00Phil, you forgot to mention the Hitlerist supporte...Phil, you forgot to mention the Hitlerist supporters who formed the leadership of the Labour Party at the very same time.<br />It is amiss of you.Gary Elsbynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-88452723801531251342015-07-19T10:57:00.871+01:002015-07-19T10:57:00.871+01:00A few years ago, there was a good documentary on T...A few years ago, there was a good documentary on TV that detailed extensively how Edward VIII, also as a British representative in Europe, had advised Hitler about where British and French troop placements were, which enabled Hitler to send his tanks through the gap, leading to the overrunning of France, and the British defeat at Dunkirk.<br /><br />The British government knew about it, fumed, and sent him to the Caribbean, not in exile, or to be executed for treason and the deaths of thousands of British soldiers, but for another plush job in the sun. He continued giving information to the Nazis from there.<br /><br />The argument that the Royals or anyone else didn't know what Hitler and the Nazis were in 1933 is, as you say laughable. Everyone knew from Mussolini's rise to power on the basis of organised thuggery what fascists were, Hilter had been jailed for the Beer Hall Putsch and organised thuggery by the Brown Shirts in the 1920's.<br /><br />The second volume of Mein Kampf was published in 1926. What I find inexcusable is that its not just the gutter press that have acted as apologists for the Royals on this. Andrew Roberts who recently did a great documentary series on Napoleon, also appeared on TV, to put out this gibberish about people not knowing what Hitler was in 1933.<br /><br />Presumably what he and other Royal apologists mean by this is - we knew that he was a fascist thug, who like Mussolini murdered trade unionists and socialists, and carried out progroms against Jews, gypsies, gays and whose ideas were a similar kind of medieval throw back in terms of women and society to those of the clerical-fascists of ISIS today, but we like Churchill and the Daily Mail, don't mind that at all, especially had he taken on the USSR as we expected. What we didn't know in 1933, was that he would instead turn all of that rearmament to attacking us rather than the USSR as we intended.<br /><br />Its only this latter bit of one nationalism trumping another that the Royals and other sections of the ruling class are concerned with.Boffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08157650969929097569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-3770492984941837602015-07-19T10:38:05.899+01:002015-07-19T10:38:05.899+01:00Neither would I considering this piece is about th...Neither would I considering this piece is about the attitudes of aristocrats in Britain toward the Nazis just as they came to power.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06298147857234479278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-34786089215490304642015-07-19T08:34:24.998+01:002015-07-19T08:34:24.998+01:00I won't be using this article if I ever want t...I won't be using this article if I ever want to understand the rise of Nazism within Germany!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
