His was an interesting case. William Joyce was born in America, but was later issued a British passport. That passport is what did him in.
I suspect that had Joyce’s trial been held 10 years after the war ended, he’d be let off with a slap on the wrist.
Timing is everything, I guess.
I don’t think he should have been executed. 10 to 20 years would probably have been the right sentence.
or if he had been a woman.
