Subject: BS: The British who fought for Hitler
Some people may not be aware of this, but the Nazi forces were joined by some unlikely reinforcements â€" a British SS unit.
The pro-Nazi soldiers were under the command of Harrow-educated John Amery, whose father served in Churchill’s war cabinet.Amery was an anti-Semite renowned for making speeches welcoming the German invaders in France. He then offered his services to Nazi propaganda minister Goebbels, and began working with notorious broadcaster Lord Haw Haw.
Another famous Englishman who fought for Hitler was John Brown. He later recorded the support for Hitler in England was much greater than the British care to recall.Thousands of Englishmen awaited the German invaders with a hearty welcome.
Then of course there was Oswald Mosley British Politician and Philosopher 1896-1980. He welcomed the advance of the German forces across Europe towards Britain.
Clearly a chapter of history the British care to forget !
