British Royals Cry Foul Because Newly-Released Video Shows Them As Nazi Sympathizers
Mainstream media reports are brushing off a newly-discovered home video shot in 1933 showing Queen Elizabeth and her younger sister giving the Nazi salute on cue from the Queen's mother and her uncle, the future King Edward VIII, a renowned Nazi sympathizer who abdicated the crown in 1936 so he could marry Wallis Simpson, an American who had previously been married and divorced. The Sun newspaper is being excoriated for making the video public, which appears may have been inadvertently released to documentary makers by the royal family last year. The House of Windsor as it is known is actually of German ancestry like most of the other royal families of Europe.

It has long been known that Edward VII was sympathetic to the Nazis. A then 7 year old Queen Victoria doing the Nazi salute at the best of her Uncle Edward VII is not news. If anyone has a photo of Queen Victoria at 81 years of age giving the Nazi salute that would be news!
Whoops! Not Queen Victoria - Queen Elizabeth who is a whopping 89 years of age!
There hasn't been a real Englishman on the throne since the Tudors.
It is legitimate news. It's Queen Elizabeth's mother, Queen Victoria, and the future king, Edward VIII, who are teaching the young girls how to do a Nazi salute. Hitler got a lot of financial help from Europe's royalty and international bankers, including UBS' leader in New York, Prescott Bush, father of George H.W. Bush and his grandfather, George Herbert Walker. The whole sorry lot of them could have been put on trial for war crimes.
Gary, I agree with your 3:10 wholeheartedly.
First off.... Queen Victoria is not Queen Elizabeth's mother. She is her great great grandmother and died in 1901. Her mother was Elizabeth, the wife of Prince Albert the Duke of York (who upon his brother's abdication became King George VI.)
So the video is of Edward the Prince of Wales, his sister in law Elizabeth Duchess of York and her two girls, Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret.
It is no surprise that Edward and other European royalty (not to mention the German aristocracy) favored Hitler's rise in Germany as a bulwark against Bolshevism. Recall that Tsar Nicholas II (the cousin of Edward's father, George V) and his family were brutally murdered by the Bolshevists a mere 16 years before this video.
The attraction to Hitler by collaberators in occupied Europe (Vichy France for example) was based on the idea that Nazi German domination was inevitable and long-lasting, and that it served to keep Bolshevists at bay in the East.
Prince Phillip, the Duke of Edinburgh, in fact, has 3 sisters who were married to Nazi officials, including a Colonel in the SS. When one sister died in the 30s, a 16 year old Philip was part of a German funeral procession in the company of Nazi officials. When Goering was married, a sister was a guest and sat at the head table with Goering and Hitler themselves. None of this is new to the British people.
Many in the West in the 30s, even many Americans, were glad to see Hitler rise to power because the German economy stabilized. An unstable Germany in the heart of Europe was very frightening. Many on the socialist left adored Hitler as a model of governance at the outset. He was named man of the year by Time magazine.
This fall, Queen Elizabeth will become the UK's longest reigning sovereign, passing her great great grandmother Victoria.
If the jackboot fits.....
"There hasn't been a real Englishman on the throne since the Tudors."
Didn't one of the later Tudors offer up his daughters to the German aristocracy because the German aristocrats were in danger of dying out? Shortly before WW1 that mixed German bloodline came in line to the English throne - and soon after the family changed their name to "Windsor"
It is kinda weird Hitler tried to marry some German duke or whoever into the Windsor fam when the Windsors are already German.
