Prince Philip talks frankly about his family's links with the Nazis
Prince Philip has broken a 60-year public silence about his family's
links with the Nazis. He said they found Hitler's attempts to restore
Germany's power 'attractive' and admitted they had 'inhibitions about
the s'. The revelations come in a book about German royalty kowtowing
to the Nazis, which features photographs never published in the UK.
They include one of Philip at the 1937 funeral, flanked by relatives
in SS and Brownshirt uniforms. Another one shows his sister Sophia
sitting opposite Hitler at the wedding of Hermann and Emmy Goering.
"There was a lot of enthusiasm for the Nazis, the economy was good, we
were anti-Communist and who knew what was going to happen to the
regime?"

Secret files reveal WW2 problem of Nazi nobles
Newly-released papers show the scale of suspicion and fear around the
British High Command during the Second World War. It has emerged that
intelligence chiefs faced a dilemma over how many aristocrats with
Nazi sympathies they should arrest, amid fears that interning too many
would inflate their importance. MI5 spied on a god-daughter of the
late King George V, Dowager Viscountess Dorothy Downe, noting her as a
"most fanatical admirer of Hitler" and intercepting her mail.
