DUKE OF WINDSOR "TRIED TO PASS MILITARY SECRETS TO HITLER" SAYS NEW BOOK. by David Icke The Duke of Windsor, who abdicated in 1936 to marry the American divorcee, Wallis Simpson, gave military secrets to Adolf Hitler, a new book claims. The author, Martin Allen, claims to have a letter written by the Duke to Hitler, dated November 4th, 1939, two months after the start of the war. It begins "Dear Mr. Hitler" and is signed "EP" - Edward Prince, a term which the Duke sometimes used. The letter talks about a tour of the French frontline, which the Duke had made for the British military high command and he asks Hitler to pay close attention to information which the man taking the letter to Berlin had memorised. This man was Charles Bedaux, a pro-German spy and a friend of the Duke. Martin Allen believes that Bedaux gave Hitler vital information from the Duke which allowed the Germans to overrun the French defences at their weakest point and occupy France in just six weeks. The letter appears to suggest that the Duke would be willing to resume the British throne once they had agreed a peace settlement with Hitler. Certainly there were massive links between Hitler and the British royal family, much as they have tried to keep this quiet. Some of Hitler's biggest supporters were the German relatives of Prince Philip and the Queen (See The Biggest Secret). Indeed the House of Windsor-Mountbatten is actually the German houses of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, and Battenberg. The royal family changed their name in 1917 during the first world war to make their German name sound "British". So Saxe-Coburg-Gotha became Windsor and Battenberg became Mountbatten. The question remains: is the Duke's letter genuine or fake? Philippa Lavell, a handwriting analyst commissioned by Martin Allen, says it was definitely written by the Duke. Two forensic document examiners says they doubt it is authentic. Allen says the original source of the letter was Albert Speer, Hitler's former munitions minister.
