Ah he's great auld craic - his lack of political correctness seems genuinely clumsy and innocent, not hate-filled. The nazi allegations seem way off. Doubt he'd by the type if auld fella who wishes to see races exterminated.

That picture was taken in 1937 at the funeral of his sister.Bearing in mind he was born in 1921 , that means he was 16..... hardly a hardened Nazi.

Half German / Half Greek and decorated for his Royal Navy Service...

He was 16. it was 1937.

I can understand people latching on to something or somebody who appeared to be appealing to their patriotism and trying to get things going. You can understand how attractive it was.

He added that there was 'a lot of enthusiasm for the Nazis at the time, the economy was good, we were anti-Communist and who knew what was going to happen to the regime?'

Doesn't say he was a Nazi - says he understood where the support for them was coming from. As could anyone who studied German history between the wars. Doesn't make you a Nazi. Not even the Daily Mail could pull a case for it.

There are plenty of ideas Hitler had that we all agree on were good. Its just the genocide the majority of people disagree with.

A big surprise, as he (and Elizabeth) were related to the Romanov royals killed in the Russian revolution. Has he ever come out and said that he STILL admires Nazism? Pre-1945, they were highly respected. Not a huge deal at all.

Not enough quotes in this thread!

Everybody was saying we must have more leisure. Now they are complaining they are unemployed - in 1986

If you stay here much longer, you'll all be slitty-eyed. - Said to a group of British students in China in 1986

Deaf? If you are near there, no wonder you are deaf - Said to a group of deaf children standing next to a Jamaican steel drum band

People usually say that after a fire it is water damage that is the worst. We are still trying to dry out Windsor Castle - Said on a visit to Lockerbie in 1993 to a man who lived in a road where eleven people had been killed by wreckage from the Pan Am jumbo jet

How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to get them through the test? - Asked of a driving instructor in Scotland

“So who’s on drugs here?... HE looks as if he’s on drugs.” - At a Bangladeshi youth club in 2002

Personal favourite....

“You look like you’re ready for bed!” - To the President of Nigeria, dressed in traditional robes

Loads more here...

Madam_X

I get the feeling the Lockerbie comment was intended to lighten the mood - no harm sometimes. I certainly don't think there was intentional insensitivity - he just doesnt strike me as that way inclined.

No, wait..

1) The "Irish Republic" was not in existence in 1933, or even 1939, or even 1945, or even between 1933 and 1945. Let me guess, as the "Irish Republic" is very much in existence on BBC news bulletins: you're British?

2) It's Nazis, unless this mythical "Irish Republic" fought against something which belonged to a single Nazi.

3) And yes, the Nazis would be the same people with whom the British state collaborated for six years, between 1933 and 1939, while the Rhineland, Austria and Czechslovakia were invaded. The British suddenly abandoned their very popular (in Britain) policy of "appeasement" and found a love for fighting against Nazism towards the end of 1939, 6 years and 7 months after Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany. Impressed!

4) Indeed, during this time our erstwhile heroes in Britain joined with Hitler and Mussolini to support the fascist overthrow of, and war against, the legitimately elected government of Spain (particularly by using the British navy to prevent arms getting to the elected government). Its crime? The Spaniards had voted for a socialist/communist government - something far worse than fascism to the British establishment in the 1930s. With British nationalist organisations like the Royal British Legion raising volunteers to fight with the Germans in their invasion of Czechoslovakia in September 1938, the current professed hatred of British nationalists for Nazism is risible.

5) And not to totally throw the spanner in the works for all you British xenophobes and your newfound post-WW II hatred for the Nazis, no fewer than four of the sisters of this Duke of Edinburgh married Nazis, with his sister Sophie marrying Christopher of Hesse-Cassel, an SS colonel who named his eldest son Karl Adolf in Hitler’s honour, and attending the wedding of Herman Goering. Indeed, this Prince Philip character was only one of many British royals and nobles who had quite the admiration for the Nazis in the 1930s. Again, you wouldn't find that in the wholesale revisionism of post-WWII British school textbooks.

6) Here's a photo of this Duke of Edinburgh at a Nazi funeral in 1937, flanked by his sister Cecile and relatives in the SS and Brownshirts.

Glass. Everywhere.

B.A._Baracus

Officially the Duke was anti-nazi. A very likeable quality. But it has to be said that was the Duke really close to the battle in WW2? I mean in recent times other royals "served" their time in the military but reality was they were well out of harms way.

Blackadder said it best:

- Melchett (to Baldrick): "Don't you worry my boy, if you should falter, remember that Captain Darling and I are behind you!"
- Blackadder: "About 35 miles behind you!"


But personally I have an issue with the "Royals" and no, not because I am "Irish" and thus automatically hate them. But because who are they. How are they different from your average person?

Because they were born with a silver spoon in their mouths & of "royal blood" they are placed on a pedestal above us? .... why? Why should I be more interested in him than some 91 year old thats currently in Tallaght Hospital? What because the guy in Tallaght Hospital isnt on the news?

I dont care what anyone says but if you have "Royal Blood" (be it english or german or whatever) you are nothing more than the descendant of a person who took control with force and why the f**k should I care about you?

Well, given that it was Cecile who was being buried, there's likely to be something scattered around if she was flanking him.

Embalming fluid, probably.

Actually if you read the wordy bit with the picture, it was at the funeral of his sister Cecile, I wonder would people be complaining if he hadn't attended HIS SISTER'S funeral
