THE ROYAL CONNECTION In the Autumn of 1937 the Duke of Windsor, the abdicated King of England, Edward VIII, and his wife, Mrs Wallace Simpson, met Rudolf Hess. He had invited them to a private dinner to round-off a day in which they had met Adolf Hitler.(See photo below.) We therefore have evidence to suggest that Hess had a Royal connection. What part did this play in Hess' mission to make peace with Great Britain in May 1941? British Intelligence had already prevented the Duke from becoming King of England, using Mrs Simpson as a pretext to make him abdicate. They didn't want a Nazi sympathiser on the throne of the British Empire. The Duke of Windsor had been under observation by the British Security Service since 1936 when Military Intelligence had established his links with minor officials of the Nazis regime. Hess would meet the Duke again on the 28th July 1940 in Lisbon. The meeting was secret and very brief, but it must have been about one thing alone: Germany wanted to obtain re-assurances that Great Britain would not attack her when she invaded Poland. This meeting, between Rudolf Hess and the King's brother was supposed to secure peace. Both governments denied that it ever happened and many secret documents were destroyed by subsequent British governments to hide the truth. The meeting was arranged through high officials in Nazi Germany, notably the Schellenberg and Reinhard Heydrich, the chiefs of the SS and SD Intelligence organisations. The Duke saw Germany as a bulwark against the spread of Stalinist World Communism. Hitler was pro-Royal family. The Duke was absolutely convinced that Britain should try to avoid war, and isolate herself from participating in a war with Nazi Germany. Such a war he must have thought, could only strengthen Communist Russia. members.aol.com

So you think we fought the wrong side in WWII? Figured I had you pegged right. in the WWII case the inevitable was the unification of Europe that was delayed for half a century with a Cold War in the middle that could have been avoided if USA hadn't fought the wrong enemy). So I'm not surprised you think a nation's ancient ethnic stock is of importance in modern politics. Good luck to the French and Germans in their dual citizenship plan. You gotta wonder about all those centuries of wars though.
