At the end of the Second World War, nearly 200 British citizens were under investigation for assisting Nazi Germany. Some have remained notorious, such as William Joyce (Lord Haw-Haw) and John Amery who went to the gallows for High Treason, but as this meticulously researched study shows, men like Joyce and Amery are only the visible part of a much larger and more intriguing story below the surface.

History

Weidenfeld &Nicholson

The SS was one of the most important institutions of Third Reich Germany, yet it is also among the least well understood. From the end of 1935, the SS had control over all police and internal security duties in Germany and the militarised Waffen SS had more than eight hundred thousand men serving in the field, in direct rivalry with the traditional German armed forces, the Wehrmacht.Making use of material not previously available, this definitive book refocuses attention on and enhances understanding of the hard-nosed political fanatics and opportunists who were responsible for one of the most appalling crimes in human history, the attempted execution of the Jews of Europe.

In Nazi Germany, they were called the Schutzstaffel. The world would know them as the dreaded SS—the most loyal and ruthless enforcers of the Third Reich… It began as a small squad of political thugs. Yet by the end of 1935, the SS had taken control of all police and internal security duties in Germany—ranging from local village “gendarmes” all they way up to the secret political police and the Gestapo. And by 1944 the militarized Waffen SS had more than eight hundred thousand men serving in the field, even rivaling Germany’s regular armed forces, the Wehrmacht. In Army of Evil: A History of the SS, author Adrian Weale delves into materials not previously available, including recently released intelligence files, the most up-to-date research and rare and never-before-published photographs. Going beyond the myths and characterizations, this comprehensive account reveals the reality of the SS as a cadre of unwavering political fanatics and power-seeking opportunists who slavishly followed an ideology that disdained traditional morality, and were prepared to implement it to the utmost, murderous extreme that ultimately resulted in the Holocaust. This is a definitive historical narrative of the birth, legacy, and ultimate demise of one of the most feared political and military organizations ever known, and those twisted, cruel men who were responsible for one of the most appalling crimes against humanity in all history.

Yet by the end of 1935, the SS had taken control of all police and internal security duties in Germany—ranging from local village “gendarmes” all the way up to the secret political police and the Gestapo.

In the 20th century only four British citizens were convicted of the ancient crime of High Treason and only two of these - Roger Casement and John Amery - suffered what was, until 1998, the only penalty allowed by the law: execution. During the First World War, Casement, a retired British consular official knighted by King Edward VII for his humanitarian work in Africa and South America, attempted to recruit a brigade of Irish prisoners of war to liberate Ireland after German victory on the Western front. In the Second World War, Amery, the son of Churchill's Secretary of State for India, tried to recruit a legion of British soldiers into the Waffen-SS to fight against Bolshevism on the Eastern front. But even a cursory examination of their crimes reveals both men to have been inept and ineffectual traitors, more of a burden to their German sponsors than an asset. By coincidence, both renegade units attracted the same miserable number of recruits -57 - and neither was used in the role for which it was intended. Instead, both men fell into British hands, were tried and executed. In fact, the full weight of state power, legitimate and illegitimate, was brought to bear to ensure that they were hanged. This even though the government knew that Casement was a confused, naive idealist and a barely controlled, compulsive pederast, and that Amery was a psychopathic, sexually bizarre "moral imbecile", incapable of understanding the concepts of right and wrong. Neither man was capable of mounting any kind of threat to the state. Why was this so? The answer lies not in what Casement and Amery did but in who they were: they both came from the heart of the establishment but had rejected the ideas and the forms of the British state; neither could be tolerated. "Patriot Traitors" is the first serious historical study to use the newly released MI5 personal files on Casement, Amery and other renegades. Drawing on these, and a wide range of different sources, Weale has been able to illuminate one of the darkest corners of recent British history. In comparing the career of the last two British citizens to be executed by the state for their political beliefs, he is able to shed new light on the real meaning of treason.

At the end of the Second World War, nearly 200 British citizens were under investigation for assisting Nazi Germany. Many have remained notorious, but this study shows there was a much larger and more intriguing story below the surface. Drawing from original documents, eyewitness accounts, and intelligence files, Adrian Weale traces the course of British treason in World War II, from its roots in Oswald Mosley’s British Union of Fascists, through the war and subsequent investigations, up to the trial, imprisonment, and, in some cases, execution of the traitors. In fact, German efforts to cultivate British traitors were largely unsuccessfulnot least, as this book reveals, because much of that effort was entrusted to a British Fascist-turned-double agent at work in the heart of the Third Reich.

By the time the Nazi interlude in German history came to a close, almost everything in the country had been destroyed. But, despite the millions of refugees and wrecked homes, and the dereliction of German industry, it was all rebuilt surprisingly quickly. Germany once more became a leading technological nation. German artists and writers emerged from hiding and resumed their work. But one thing was never repaired. When the Nazis took over Germany, German science was the best in the world. Despite all efforts to revive it, it has never recovered. This book looks at the often dubious work German scientists undertook during the Nazi era, especially in the fields of biology, medicine, aeronautics and nuclear physics, and chronicles the ultimate decline and death of German science
