There was some stuff in the papers a few years ago about the possibility 
that he might even have passed military secrets to the Nazi High Command 
during the war years. I don't know if this was conclusively established, 
however. For a one-time King of England not just to be a Nazi supporter (and 
at the very end of the war, Edward said that he was still not sure if 
Britain had been on the right side) but possibly to have committed high 
treason towards such ends, is of course dynamite.

Ian Kershaw's 'Making Friends with Hitler', about Lord Londonderry's 
connections with the Nazis, is interesting to read. A very sizeable 
percentage of the British aristocracy were Nazi sympathisers.

Solidarity,
Ian
