interesting article on Oswald Mosley's son
http://observer.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,,1885141,00.html?gusrc=rss&feed=11
A fascinating footnote to WWII history was Mosely and his Blackshirts. The man lived well into my lifetime and I saw him speak twice on television. A very scary person because of his calm self assurance and aritocratic demeanor - one could see the poltical charisma in him, even as an old man. It was evil portrayed not in some ignorant spittle-throwing diatribe, but cloaked in a tweed jacket with an Oxbridge accent.
