I found the wikipedia article on him and thought some of you might be
interested:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Neilson
I also skim read his essay on Hitler on jstor. It pretty much read like an
apologia for Hitler. Interestingly he claims that Alan Bullock's ''Hitler: A
Study in Tyranny'' directly refutes the notion that Hitler bullied Hacha when
he met him in March 1939. Its been a while since I looked at Bullock but I am
guess this is a fabrication, as every other work on the subject I have seen
accepts that Hitler bullied Hacha into surrendering his nation.

To the editor, thank you very much for the link to back issues of Finest Hour.
That is a treasure trove that I wish I had known of earlier.
Jim, great addition to the discussion! I'm going to track down that article.
