Revealed: Nazis' friends inside the British �lite

Exclusive by Paul Lashmar


9 January 2000

A list of leading Nazi sympathisers in the British establishment at the
outbreak of the Second World War has at last been put on public view.

The infamous Red Book, which reveals the membership of the upper-class Right
Club, was written more than 60 years ago. It offers a chilling insight into
the virulence of the anti-Semitism which was rife among peers, MPs, knights
of the realm and other leading society figures at that time. Those listed
include the 5th Duke of Westminster, the second Baron Redesdale (the father
of the Mitford sisters) and the famous aviator Lord Sempill who was later
suspected of spying for the Japanese. Others named are The Earl of Galloway,
Lord Carnegie, Lord Ronald Graham and William Joyce, who later achieved
notoriety as Lord Haw-Haw, broadcasting propaganda from Germany .

The Right Club was set up by Captain Archibald Ramsay MP, an outspoken
anti-Semite, a few months before the war in May 1939 "to oppose and expose
the activities of Organised Jewry". In meetings chaired by the Duke of
Wellington it sought to influence government policy to stop war with Germany.

Ramsay drew up the secret membership list in his distinctive spiky
handwriting. There are 135 names on the men's list and 100 on the women's. In
the women's list is Anna Wolkoff, who was later accused of spying with
American cypher clerk Tyler Kent. Also listed is Majorie Amor, one of several
MI5 agents who had infiltrated the club.

Interleaved in the Red Book are a number of extraordinary documents relating
to Ramsay and the Right Club. These included a manuscript of his vicious
anti-semitic rhyme "Land of Dope and Jewry", hand-written by Ramsay on House
of Commons notepaper the day after war was declared. There is also a letter
from the man who was to become Lord Haw-Haw, apologising for being able to
afford only five shillings (25p) as his membership fee.

The book was seized by MI5 in a dawn raid in May 1940. Later that day, its
brass lock was forced in the presence of the American Ambassador. For many
years it was lost. It now rests in the Wiener Library in London where it can
be viewed with prior permission.
