Probably had waning enthusiasm for the Reich once the bombings of London started

He entered Dartmouth Naval College in May 1939, as soon as he left school, and was serving at sea as Midshipman before the Battle of Britain began.

As far as the person the king marries, she has to be a Protestant by law.

Oh "I thought you said the King had to marry a "prostitute" not "Proterstant" - I better abdicate."

"I can understand people latching on to something or somebody who appeared to be appealing to their patriotism and trying to get things going. You can understand how attractive it was."

Kinda like Hugo "Chubby" Chavez now.

1937 was at least three years before the war officially started. Every single royal family in Europe had a connection back to the British royals. I don't see the issue here. This entire thing is a non-story. Royal protocol overrules common sense in every case...you must attend these funnerals...even if they were in communist Cuba.

Churchill was THE Man of the 20th Century, IMO.

The first half. Reagan was THE man of the other half.

There were many people here in the US with far worse opinions of the jews and far more admiration for the nazi's.

Notably, the bootlegging whoremonger, Old Joe Kennedy.

They include one of Philip aged 16 at the 1937 funeral of his elder sister Cecile, flanked by relatives in SS and Brownshirt uniforms.

How shocking! He attended the funeral of his sister in Germany before WWII and some Nazis were there.

She might be alot of things but that doesn't discredit the information she presented in The Royals. Unlike the liberals, we cannot take a knee-jerk reaction and discard information and ideas solely on the basis of who is the messenger. If the same material were presented by another author would it make it inherently different?

[MHT]

I just saw it last night, on loan from my local library. I was touched by King George's courage and how, like Winston Churchill, the right man had been called to a very special job at the exact time needed. He didn't live long after the end of WWII, his work was done. Whoever would have thought that a second-born stuttering son would have been the man of character he was and would have to lead the British Empire at such a critical time? Whoever would have thought that between the two brothers, he would have been the one to attract a stronger, more loyal mate to be his partner during that terrible time?

EXCELLENT point! So glad you brought that up!

[OldFriend]

I guess I ought to correct my tense. There ARE many people here in the US with far worse opinions of the jews.......

"--no --he didn't marry Inga Arvad---"

Well...that's what the Kennedys would like you to believe....History Channel ran a special on this about 10-12 years ago...evidence of the coverup looked persuasive....expunged from the NJ Courthouse records in the relevant county...as well as a quiet annullment by the Catholic Church...this was out there at the time he ran for Prez, but the monolithic MSM ignored it (of course)...

[Al Simmons]

Any links to the book or to pictures???

[hershey]

Trains run on time. Great. Nazi concentration camps, millions of Jews, Catholics, Gypsies, and countless others murdered, tortured, butchered, World War II,...well, we won't discuss that. Philip and the family did okay, and that's all that matters. There's something evil about endless privilege, when you get up in the morning and think you're better than everyone else...well, except that woman you married. Hubris.

[Al Simmons]

"Some things about Germany versus England are very strange indeed. R. Hess was called a fake when he was "released." X-rays of the liberated Hess failed to show serious wounds he had when he was in combat. Also, he did not seem to know his son, as I recall."

OK. Respectfully, you are starting to sound like you ought to put 'Moonbat Alert' at the head of your posts.

First of all Hess died in prison (probably murdered by Russian guards to avoid his release) in 1987 at the age of 96 (or close to that).

If by 'release' you mean his reappearance for the Nurnberg trials, you will recall that he FAKED amnesia and mental illness as a defense strategy - it failed partly because he was observed laughing in the witness dock at some of Hermann Goering's self-serving, pompous testimony (seen the film clip).

Lastly, ANYONE WITH EYES can see that the Hess at Nurnberg is the same Rudolph Hess who is alongside Hitler in 1930s film clips - this WAS before CGI, you will recall.

As far as his family goes, they certainly DID recognize him.

Someday the mystery regarding his imprisoment will be cleared up when the Brits release the sealed files. Reasoned speculation is that Hess did indeed have contacts within the Royal community, and that the Lord he said he was trying to meet LIED to save his own a**. The official extent of this UK compromiser wing, and what Churchill knew about it will be known someday later on in this century...

[hershey]

Huh, antiJew sentiments are once again all the fashion in bourgeoisie WASP/Euro circles! Son of a gun!

[hershey]

Philip is right about the attraction of the Nazis. There was great improvement, a feeling of hope. The wolves feasted on Germany's almost dead corpse after WWI, and WWII was the result.

[Churchillspirit]

The abdication of the king probably had more to do with his Nazi ties than his wife's history as a prostitute.

Don't know about Wallis being a prostitute, but I agree with your theory regarding Edward V111.

So then, of course, you also believe in the stuff Kitty Kelley wrote about Nancy Reagan sleeping with Frank Sinatra during RR's presidency?

I do not know if Kitty is a "whore"; I DO know that she is a "Hitler-quality" paid slanderer who has hidden behind the overly-generous S. Ct. decisions that practically make the doctrine of libel/slander inapplicable to "public persons"...
