Boy, they are pushing this meme HARD.
Other than locking him a tower, the Royal Family didn't have much control over his antics.
This is a stupid issue to create now. A gesture before people fully understood the Nazi party is as trivial as a pro-Obama comment based on his 2004 DNC keynote speech. It’s different for those who support National Socialist policies today, including those who support Obama’s strain of socialism, but these photos and videos belong on a dusty shelf in a library, not in public discussions.
The Duke of Windsor was clearly a Nazi sympathizer and Hitler had dreams of putting him back on the UK throne. There is a reason why the Brits won’t release any documents concerning the 1938 flight of Rudolph Hess to England and his imprisonment; the fact that he was kept quiet for decades. Something big and bad went on with this rascal the Duke of Windsor, hopefully the world will one day know.
This is well known and was one of the reasons he was put out to pasture with mrs. Simpson. New only to people who don’t know their history.
This guy was a total failure, IMO, but that ‘heil Hitler’ looks like a casual wave to me.
The fact that Edward VIII was pro-Nazi is very old news.
Weren’t the muslim nations allied with Hitler?
Mussolini’s Fascism was all the rage with the American left wing elites just during that time too.
John Kennedy’s father, Joe, was a Nazi sympathizer too.
Well, we all know the answer — its time for the UK to wipe out all traces of Edward VIII and his entire family from the history books the same way the Leftist lynch mob in the US is trying to wipe out all traces of Confederate history.
Surprising that the National Socialists aren’t saluting Barry, Bernie or Hillary.
