Correct Josh, the British royal family and several prominent British gentry members had very real and very demonstrable links to Hitler and various other elements of the Nazi party, long after their tendencies for violence and supremacy were known.
I find it mind-boggling that people are so desperate to rewrite this history. Well no actually, I know exactly why people want to, what I find mind-boggling is that people are so able to.
I guess there's a certain set "narrative" to the second world war that people just don't want to deviate from.
