"But the man changed his mind didn't he Shaw - from 1938 "
The "man" wrote long articles praising British Fascism and used his newspaper to publicise and encourage the growth of the Blackshirts
He didn't "chanfe his mind" - he got cold feet when he realised what he had gotten himself into
"A letter from Rothermere in 1939 (six years into Nazi control of Germany, and thousands of political murders later) congratulated Hitler on his success in Prague, and urged him to move on to Romania. Rothermere had befriended and was paying a Nazi spy in Britain – Stephanie von Hohenlohe – to further his contacts in Nazi Germany, and pass correspondence between himself and the regime. The brutality of the regime at this late point was obvious. Rothermere and the Mail turned a blind eye to it."
