"My Village lies under the green hills, at the head of a valley; the valley opens into the sea a mile and a half to the south-west. Cottages, cob and thatch, stone and brick and slate - ancient and modern - stand beside the roads..." "In 1935, Henry Williamson visited the National Socialist German Workers Party Congress at Nuremberg and was greatly impressed, particularly with the Hitler Youth movement, whose healthy outlook on life he compared with the sickly youth of the London slums. He had a "well-known belief that Hitler was essentially a good man who wanted only to build a new and better Germany." Opposed to war and believing that wars were caused by "usurial moneyed interests", he was attracted to Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists, and joined it in 1937." ; Signed by Author .
