WILLIAM GREEN
This quotation illustrates two interesting historical facts about pre-WWII England. First, there was a very significant part of English aristocratic and Tory opinion that supported Hitler. Even the King, who abdicated and became the Duke of Windsor, had Nazi sympathies. The second point was the way that the Tory politicians attacked the anti-Fascists. They played on the anti-Semitism that was rife amongst the English aristocracy, and dismissed the critics of Fascism as having Jewish names.
