Royal Nazi History

One of the biggest public relations hoaxes ever perpetrated by the British Crown, is that King Edward VIII, who abdicated the throne in 1938, due to his support for the Nazis, was a black sheep, an aberration in an otherwise unblemished Windsor line. Nothing could be further from the truth. The British monarchy, and the City of London’s leading Crown bankers, enthusiastically backed Hitler and the Nazis, bankrolled the Fuhrer’s election, and did everything possible to build the Nazi war machine, for Britain’s planned geopolitical war between Germany and Russia. Support for Nazi-style genocide has always been at the heart of House of Windsor policy, and long after the abdication of Edward VIII, the Merry Windsors maintained their direct Nazi links.

So, when Prince Philip, co-founder with Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), tells an interviewer that he hopes to be reincarnated as a deadly virus to help solve the population problem, he is justdoin’ what comes naturally for any scion of the Anglo-Dutch oligarchy.

To get beyond the soap opera stuff and truly understand the Windsors today, it is useful to start with Prince Philip. Not only was he trained in the Hitler Youth curriculum, but his German brothers-in-law, with whom he lived, all became high-ranking figures in the Nazi Party.

Before his family was forced into exile, Prince Philip had been in line of succession to the Greek throne, established after a British-run coup against the son of King Ludwig of Bavaria, who became King Otto I of the Hellenes. Having dispatched King Otto in 1862, London ran a talent search for a successor, which resulted in the selection of Prince William, the son of the designated heir and nephew to the Danish king, Crown Prince Christian. In 1862, Prince William of the Danes was installed as King George I of Greece, and married a granddaughter of Czar Nicholas I in 1866. Prince Philip is a grandson of Queen Victoria, and he is related to most of the current and former crowned heads of Europe, including seven czars. Prince Philip’s mother was Princess Alice of Battenburg, who was the daughter of Princess Victoria of Hesse, whose mother was another Princess Alice, Victoria’s second daughter and third child.

The marriages of Prince Philip’s sisters definitely strengthened the German aristocratic ties. During 1931-1932, Philip’s four older sisters married as follows: Margarita to a Czech-Austrian prince named Gottfried von Hohenlohe-Langenburg, a great-grandson of England’s Queen Victoria; Theodora to Berthold, the margrave of Baden; Cecilia to Georg Donatus, grand duke of Hesse-by-Rhine, also a great-grandson of Queen Victoria; and, Sophie to Prince Christoph of Hesse.

Three of Philip’s brothers-in-law were part of a group of German aristocrats who were Anglophile and pro-Nazi at the same time, and who remain a subversive force in Germany to this day.

Enter Prince Bernhard

His Royal Highness Prince Bernhard, royal consort to Queen Juliana of the Netherlands and father of the current Queen Beatrix, co-founded and became the first head of the World Wildlife Fund (now the World Wide Fund for Nature) in October 1961. When the Lockheed scandal forced Prince Bernhard to resign from his most important public functions in 1971, he was replaced by Prince Philip. Prince Bernhard, like Prince Philip, whom he recruited to the eco-fascist cause, had strong roots in the Nazi movement. In fact, the whole House of Orange did: Queen Wilhelmina, mother of the future Queen Juliana, married a right-wing playboy who begged for money for Hitler; Juliana married an SS man (Prince Bernhard); and, Queen Juliana’s daughter Beatrix married a former member of Hitler Youth.

Prince Bernhard first became interested in the Nazis in 1934, during his last year of study at the University of Berlin. He was recruited by a member of the Nazi intelligence services, but first worked openly in the motorized SS. Bernhard went to Paris to work for the firm IG Farben, which pioneered Nazi Economics Minister Hjalmar Schacht’s slave labor camp system by building concentration camps to convert coal into synthetic gasoline and rubber. Bernhard’s role was to conduct espionage on behalf of the SS. According to the April 5, 1976 issue of Newsweek, this role, as part of a special SS intelligence unit in IG Farbenindustrie, had been revealed in testimony at the Nuremberg trials.

When Bernhard left the SS to marry the future Queen Juliana, he signed his letter of resignation to Adolf Hitler, Heil Hitler! William Hoffman writes in his book Queen Juliana:

“Tensions [over the marriage] were not cooled when Adolf Hitler forwarded his own congratulatory message. The newspaper Het Volk editorialized that ‘it would be better if the future Queen had found a consort in some democratic country rather than in the Third Reich’.”

This is the man who recruited Prince Philip to eco-facism, but Prince Philip’s Nazi roots had been laid much earlier.

Hitler Youth and Universal Fascism

Through the influence of his sister Theodora, young Philip was sent to the German school near Lake Constance that had been founded by Berthold’s father, Max von Baden, working through his longtime personal secretary, Kurt Hahn. During World War I, Prince Max von Baden had been chancellor, while the Oxford-trained Hahn first served as head of the Berlin Foreign Ministry’s intelligence desk, then as special adviser to Prince Max in the Versailles Treaty negotiations. Von Baden and Hahn set up a school in a wing of Schloss Salem, employing a combination of monasticism and the Nazis’ strength-through-joy system. At first a supporter of the Nazis, Hahn, who was part Jewish, soon got into trouble with the SS, and came to support the more centrist elements of the Nazi Party. What Hahn really had become is what Henry Kissinger’s friend, Michael Ledeen has termed a universal fascist, in the sense of Vladimir Jabotinsky, Count Coudenhove-Kalergi, the Strasser brothers, and other fascists whom the hard-core Nazis would have no dealings with. Although Hahn’s powerful connections permitted him to escape the concentration camps, he was forced to leave the school he founded in Germany before Philip’s arrival there, and established a new school in Scotland, called Gordonstoun. It would play a major role in rearing all the male children of Queen Elizabeth II and Philip. When Philip arrived at Hahn’s school in Schloss Salem, it was in control of the Hitler Youth and the Nazi Party, and the curriculum had become Nazi race science. Hahn became an adviser to the Foreign Office in London, urging policies of appeasement based upon appeals to the centrist Nazis.

Philip’s Relatives Work for the SS

The husband of Philip’s sister Sophie, Prince Christoph, was embraced by the Nazis, who saw him as a channel to the appeasement faction in Britain epitomized by King Edward VIII. Joining the Nazi Party in 1933, by 1935 Prince Christoph was chief of the Forschungsamt (directorate of scientific research), a special intelligence operation run by Hermann Goering, and he was also an SS Colonel on Heinrich Himmler’s personal staff. The Forschungsamt used electronic intelligence-gathering methods to police the Nazi Party, while working with the Gestapo against the Catholic Church, the Jews, and labor organizations. When rumors of homosexuality spread against Capt. Ernst Roehm of the Stormtroopers, Himmler turned to the Forschungsamt’s eavesdroppers, and ordered the Night of the Long Knives as a result. The eldest of Prince Christoph and Sophie’s children was named Karl Adolf, after Hitler. Later, Prince Philip would promote his education. Prince Christoph’s brother, Philip of Hesse, married a daughter of the King of Italy, and became the official liaison between the Nazi and Fascist regimes.

Four years after Prince Philip left Schloss Salem to attend Gordonstoun Academy in Scotland, on Nov. 16, 1937, Philip learned that his sister Cecilia and her husband Georg Donatus, hereditary grand duke of Hesse-by-Rhine, had crashed in one of Goering’s Junker aircraft on a trip to London for Georg’s brother’s wedding. According to the British magazine Private Eye, the funeral became a gathering point for leading Nazis and their appeasers. Prince Philip himself developed secretive ties with King Edward VIII, continuing after Edward was deposed in 1938.

In fact, one of the central figures in the 1930s Nazi-British back-channel was Philip’s uncle and sponsor, Lord Louis Mountbatten (originally, Battenberg, a branch of the House of Hesse). Until he was forced to abdicate, King Edward VIII enjoyed the full backing of Dickie Mountbatten. Through much of World War II, secret channels of communication were maintained between the British royal family and their pro-Hitler cousins in Germany, by Lord Mountbatten, through his sister Louise, who was crown princess of pro-Nazi Sweden. Louise was Prince Philip’s aunt.

Although Buckingham Palace’s rumor mill has tried to depict this wartime collaboration with the enemy as mere family correspondence, the channel apparently included messages from Prince Philip’s secret ally, the Duke of Windsor (the former Edward VIII). On Nov. 20, 1995, the Washington Times reported, based on recently discovered Portuguese Secret Service files first published in the London Observer, that the Duke of Windsor had been in close collaboration with the Nazis in Spain and Portugal to foment a revolution in wartime Britain, that would topple the Churchill government, depose his brother King George VI, and allow him to regain the throne, with Queen Wallis [Simpson, the American divorcà ©e, for whom he abdicated the throne] at his side. Portuguese surveillance revealed that Walter Schellenberg, head of Gestapo counterintelligence, was one point of contact in this plot. After Schellenberg met with the Spanish ambassador to Portugal, Nicol ¡s Franco, brother of fascist Gen. Francisco Franco, Ambassador Franco told a Portuguese diplomat: The Duke of Windsor, free from the responsibilities of the war, in disagreement with English politicians, could be the man to put at the head of the Empire.

Whatever correspondence was hidden in Sophie and Prince Christoph’s Kronberg Castle, King George VI, in June 1945, felt compelled to dispatch the former MI-5 officer turned Surveyor of the King’s Pictures, Anthony Blunt, to gather up the correspondence. Queen Elizabeth II reportedly insisted that there be no interrogation of Blunt about his secret trip to the castle. Otherwise, it is notable that starting with an exchange between King George VI and President Eisenhower, the House of Windsor has been desperate to keep classified those documents from Kronberg Castle that fell into American Army hands, long beyond the normal length of time. Clearly, Prince Philip’s patron Lord Dickie Mountbatten, Mountbatten’s sister Crown Princess Louise, and Philip’s brother-in-law Prince Christoph of Hesse were not just exchanging Christmas greetings.

    From your site I received (March 28, 2009) an e-mail from “The Fight And The Future (kermit@lostblogger.com)” in which the author (“melt”) labeled me a “Zio-Nazi” because of a post of mine comparing Jewish and Muslim Nobel-prize-winner.

    I quote:

    There is a new comment on the post “Royal Nazi History”.
    https://www.lostblogger.com/site/british-royal-family-nazi-history/

    “Goran the zio-nazi who on the one hand condemns anti-Jewish comments, then goes on to make a totally irrelevant and Islamophobic rant, comparing Jewish Nobel prize winners to ‘Muslim’ ones ”

    Unquote

    The ease with which some people (sadly on your site too) label others “nazis” (when untrue this charge is an often simply a subconscious vent of very Left-wing views) and “Zionist (when untrue, it is simply a vent of anti-Semitic feelings) is truly amazing. My first thought was that it was a tasteless joke but unfortunately it wasn’t.

    For the sake of readers here (though of course the ethical damage done by that post to those who wont read these words of mine is irreparable) I wish to state that I am neither a Zionist nor of course a Nazi. Nazism assumes hatred against other RACES, and Zionism assumes looking down (but, often, not hatred!) on non-Jews. I have NOTHING against Arabs (some of my friends are Arabs) though I have a lot of objections to Islam (a religion, not a race). My comments on Nobel-Prize winners were based on pure facts.

    For the slanderer soul’s sake I request an apology (not that I hope to get it).

    Best wishes to the readers.

    Actually In 1936, a constitutional crisis in the British Empire was caused by King-Emperor Edward VIII’s proposal to marry Wallis Simpson, a twice-divorced American socialite.

    The marriage was opposed by the King’s governments in the United Kingdom and the autonomous Dominions of the British Commonwealth. Religious, legal, political, and moral objections were raised. Mrs Simpson was perceived to be an unsuitable consort because of her two failed marriages, and it was widely assumed by the Establishment that she was driven by love of money or position rather than love for the King. Despite the opposition, Edward declared that he loved Mrs Simpson and intended to marry her whether the governments approved or not.

    The widespread unwillingness to accept Mrs Simpson as the King’s consort, and the King’s refusal to give her up, led to Edward’s abdication in December 1936.[1] He remains the only British monarch to have voluntarily renounced the throne since the Anglo-Saxon period. He was succeeded by his brother Albert, who took the regnal name George VI. Edward was given the title His Royal Highness the Duke of Windsor following his abdication, and he married Mrs Simpson the following year. They remained married until his death 35 years later.

  3. Notgera Durchlaucht says:

    You bring up several very interesting points but please be careful how you label people either Jews or Nazis. The connections between and among the German royal families is indeed breathtaking and you might do well to go into greater detail about Prince Philip’s in-laws (and certain letters retrieved immediately after the war, hint hint) and allow your readers to draw their own conclusions. Have you heard of the house of Oettingen-Spielberg being replaced by Jewish Usurpers around the end of World War Two? Or the house of Hesse being replaced by Jews two centuries ago? What about former Nazis escaping prosecution by going to Israel with Jewish documents? There is a wealth of facts available without labeling people.

    What a stupid, illiterate jerk! Where do you buy your mushrooms?

  9. DrTCH says:

    Yikes, what horrible sentiments (from Waffenlitess!!). If the reader will use his noggin, he will acknowledge that both Bolshevism and Nazism both posed a horrible threat to self-determinism and to the lives of millions who died in WWII, and in the Soviet pograms and concentration camps. As someone once said, “Tyranny in any form is still tyranny.”

  10. DrTCH says:

    And, we know that–minimally–the Nazis were supported by the Bank of England and the American corporations such as Shell Oil, ITT, Ford Motors, General Motors, and Du Pont. I suspect that there is much truth in this page’s contents. And, I would suggest that Nazi Deputy Fuehrer Rudolph Hess’s flight to Scotland was not simply the behavior of a madman. Unfortunately–for him–the British Government “hung tough” with the cover story of GB’s resolute opposition to Nazi Germany…and, even today, we do not know the complete story of the Hess episode.

    Such Hubris

  12. markpkessinger says:

    Prince Philip is a grandson of Queen Victoria,

    This statement is factually incorrect. Prince Phillip is actually a great-great-grandson of Queen Victoria. Phillip’s mother was Princess Alice of Battenberg, daughter of Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine, who was the daughter of Princess Alice of the United Kingdom, who was the daughter of Queen Victoria.

  13. Ryan Paul says:

    It’s not really factually incorrect because he is in fact her grandson. How many times removed doesn’t matter.

  14. markpkessinger says:

    Virtually no one uses any variant of ‘grandchild,’ absent any generational qualifiers, to mean anything other than the offspring of one’s child. By your logic, I could call myself the ‘grandson’ of Charlemagne — my 39th great grandfather if records are correct. Perhaps I could technically make that statement, but few would view it as being honest.
