| British Nazi propagandist, born in New York City, USA. As a child he lived in Ireland, and in 1922 his family emigrated to England. He founded the fascist British National Socialist Party and fled to Germany before war broke out. Throughout World War 2 he broadcast from Radio Hamburg propaganda against Britain, gaining his nickname from his upper-class drawl. He was captured by the British at Flensburg, convicted of treason, and executed in London. |
