Video at link.


This newly-released footage is really quite terrifying. T.J.B.

It was unearthed by a Discovery Channel programme to be aired next week called Wartime London, presented by London cabby Harry Harris.

It shows the funeral, in 1936, of the German Ambassador to Britain, Leopold von Hoesch in 1936.

After a fatal stroke a state funeral was held for him, a salute of nineteen guns was fired in Hyde Park, and Grenadier Guards marched down the Mall. Shoulder to shoulder with Nazi soldiers.

They carried a coffin draped in a swastika, while crowds lined the road and balconies, a terrifyingly large number of them giving the Nazi salute.

Who are these people? They can’t, as Harris points out, all be embassy staff. Whether they were Germans living in London or British Nazi sympathisers is unknown. Most probably a mix of both.

Hoesch himself was a career diplomat, never a Nazi. He would have been horrified.

Apparently the only people who gave the Roman salute were other Germans living in London.

(This message was to short.) The English have to wake up to the fact they are Germans!! Always have been always will be Germans first! There were no English until they migrated into Briton from parts of Germany. Then they became the English. That dont change there very DNA they still are just Germans!! Hitler said in the Rise and fall of the third Reich the Germans that migrated into Briton were of much purer stock. Thats cool! Read The Rise and fall of the Third Reich. GOOD BOOK I had to read it a few times:swastikasmiley:

Hitler was right. The English are mostly Angles with bits and pieces of Saxon and Jute intermixed.
