, was an Irish-American fascist politician and Nazi propaganda
broadcaster to the United Kingdom
during the Second World War. He was hanged for treason

I don't regard Jews as a class. I regard them as a privileged misfortune.
We know that England is crying for a leader, and that leader has emerged in the person of the greatest Englishman I have ever known, Sir Oswald Mosley ... When the history of Europe comes to be written I can assure you that his name will not be second to either Benito Mussolini|Mussolini or Adolf Hitler|Hitler.
I would gladly say 'Heil Hitler!' and at once part company with him, realizing what a pitiable insult it is to such a great man to try to flatter him with such an imitation which he has always disdained. His way is for Germany, ours is for Britain; let us tread our paths with mutual respect, which is rarely increased by borrowing.
If war breaks out, I will fight for Hitler since such a war would be against Jewry.
Germany calling! Germany Calling!
The people of England will curse themselves for having preferred ruin from Winston Churchill|Churchill to peace from Hitler.
