People like Oswald and Diana Moseley were born into families that didn’t know real life was like. Moseley wanted power at any price no matter who had to suffer. They seem in some ways even more grotesque than Hitler himself because they don’t rant, they speak in a calm clipped British way but they are not aware of how awful they are. The Moseley’s were very fortunate to escape the death penalty because they were traitors which is still considered a capital offence. They refused to accept how terrible the results of racism really were right up to their deaths.
I wholly agree with your assessment of these conceited, ghastly, nincompoops. As a deceitful, unrepentant old dear, she is especially repellent. However they were saved by imprisonment from provably "adhering to the Kings enemies". Make no mistake: after the war they would've been prosecuted if it were feasible, as demonstrated by the conviction and execution of Lord Haw Haw at the extremist stretch of the law.
Ah yes, a man who wanted to avoid another "great" war (the first of which took most of Sir Oswald's friends, and destroyed European civilisation)! Yes he must be such a monster. After all, it's better to have your young generation mown down while being "democratic" than to have peace while being "undemocratic."

They had an unintentional good effect, I think. They were the ones that gave Hitler the idea that England would eventually come over to his side without bloodshed. If Hitler had not believed that, he would have made more of an effort to capture and destroy the British army at Dunkirk, and more of an effort to invade England right after Dunkirk. As it was, he thought he could leave England alone for a while while he invaded Russia.
There is no doubt the Nazi's were evil. Hitler hid in his bunker and sent German kids and old people to die for nothing fighting the Russians. He did't even care about his own people.

She's evil. Through and through. Make no mistake - she was always well aware of her and her husband's traitorous conduct - she just simply didn't care.
I will be the Devil’s Advocate: Oswald's conduct was not traitorous until 1939 when the UK passed a law that made it so. At 41:30 “18-B allowed the government to arrest anyone who might be subject to foreign influence or control.” Arrest & held without trial. Sounds like something that happened in Nazi Germany, not in the UK. And that was BEFORE the UK declared war. Oswald was an avowed Fascist, but why? The UK’s economy was crushed by the Great Depression & Fascism solved (or better said appeared to solve) high unemployment, lack of business investment, etc. Fascism as a form of government seemed to be the answer. Oswald was an antisemite but was hardly alone in blaming the Jews for everything wrong in the world in the 1930’s. From this video, prior to WWII, I didn’t get the impression that that was a bad thing in the public’s eye. Lastly Oswald didn’t want to go to war with Germany but what Englishman would want to? At the end of WWI, the German Army occupied foreign soil when its government surrendered. Its country was never invaded. The UK went from the world's biggest creditor to the world's biggest debtor; all for protecting Belgium’s neutrality. WWI UK casualties: 800,000+ UK soldiers dead, x2 wounded. I read that the 1921 census was 106 Englishwomen for every man. Now 20 years later the UK wants to go to war with Germany over its invasion of Poland? Poland, a country that didn’t exist until the Treaty of Versailles? And the UK will be an ally with the Soviet Union?? A country that had a nonaggression treaty with every Axis country?
All her family except for 1 sister were pro Hitler. She came from the privileged upper class. Spoiled, and selfish. I really can't imagine her worrying about the poor. These types worried about losing their privileges if a socialist government came to power. Look at Edward and Mrs Simpson 2 more Nazis, another pair that should have gone to prison.😢😢😢
@@Mark-f9y2rI don't know about 106 women to 1 man, but 1921 was right after the First World War. Plus, it was only a couple of years after the Spanish Flu. So many men from every country died in that war. Trenches, machine guns, poison gas, bombing...people hadn't experienced mechanized war, so they just marched right into the meat grinder.
Merchants of death are quite able in deceit tactics. For instance, the European Peace Fund has collected trillions to finance the war in Ukraine, which has killed 700,000 Ukrainiand and 200,000 Russians so far.
the so called Merchants of death from your perspective tried 22 times for peace and allowed their country to be bombed for three months before any retaliation. Like many you were brainwashed. The real evil was not in Germany...
I went to school at Dulwich College Preparitory School with Mosley's grandchildren. They were ignorant, common bullies. Due to my size and vigor, I alluded their attention.
fascinating. For all that privilege, culture access, money; they were only dumb thugs. Pathetically trying to prove themselves bullying the weakest. A good reminder.
I had never heard of the Mosleys before stumbling upon this outstanding bigraphical report. Well presented against the background of historical events and the influence of the times on our lives. But also not without the important factor of consideration and reflection of how human lives get caught in the nets of the era into which a person is born. The decisions one makes can only be understood if viewed from the narrow window of a particular generation. In retrospect, the knowledge we gain changes the entire spectrum. We may be wiser, but should be careful to judge what happened then through the prism of what we know now. Enjoyed this top notch documentary immensely.
What do you expect from rich people. In those times, at least, they showed themselves how they were like. Rich people nowadays disguise under the mask of philanthropy but they are always the same bunch of selfish narcissists playing with the world and other people's life.
The most balanced documentary I have seen of Diana, and the only one in my experience that was not sensationalized. Most (but not quite all) presentations treating of the Mitfords generally are flawed by surrender to that false impulse. Their lives were all, to one degree or another, supremely interesting but also supremely complicated. Would I had been younger when I became aware of them A lifetime might not afford time to absorb the full picture.
@@DonHendrickson-xd7jw is that so? Jessica sounds like a courageous woman & in an interview with Christopher Hitchen (also on youtube), said she didn't speak to Diana after the age of 19. Diana & Mosely might be a good example of fidelity as understood by the upper class (also covered by Jane Austen in Mansfield Park & the recent filming of Mary Shelley): infidelity is accepted (& expected?) provided there's no divorce or scandal? Where marriages are arranged, adultery is a compensation (or consolation)? Think one of her sisters said that Diana was conveniently blind to the faults of the men she admired. Diana & Mosley seem to think they (he was?) were right & mis-represented, but the only people likely to know much about them now are those on the "wrong side" of the argument. Enoch Powell took up the baton about mass Immigration 40 years later...pretty sure he thought he was miss-represented as a racist. Did he ever say what he thought of Mosely & vice-versa?

Indeed, her sister Jessica or Decca was a strong liberal who married a labor lawyer and lived in the US. She wrote a great expose about the funeral industry. I think it was called “The American Way of Death”?
@@busterbiloxi3833 you do realise that British fascists were fighting the Nazis from the first day of the war while the communists were told not to fight because of the Russian/German non aggression pact which allowed the two countries to carve Poland up between them and the fact that Mosley was one of the first politicians to call for rearmament when Hitler came to power, if you read a history book then perhaps you wouldn't make silly comments.
@@davidpollard1139. How does one realise that "british fascists were fighting the Nazis from the first day of the war"? Not from this video showing the Mosleys supporting Hit, for sure. What history book to be precise.... we all know many many british like H.... at the begining, even the crown....😂
Apparently, Britain declared war on Germany because it was in a "fight against Fascism" but most people are unaware that the country in whose defence Britain entered the war as a pretext (but never actually intended to defend), Poland, was also a dictatorship at the time. In reality, the Allies were only fighting against Fascism because Fascism was fighting against Finance.
The war is well studied and the majority in Britain know the history. Germany knew Britain and France would declare war should Poland be invaded. It knew Russia would not join in. The US would always support Britain and France. Balance of power and a just cause. We know everything has to be paid for.
How were they traitors? They shared a political ideology with men who became Britain's enemies. The documentary. Made no suggestion that once war had begun that the moseley' did anything to undermine or betray Britain's war effort.
Traitors ??? They were against throwing another generation away to the meat grinder of war. Mosley saw first hand the horrors of WW1 and didn't want to ever see Britain repeat it
Reading DM's biography now by Anne de Courcy. Diana might be beautiful, but she is devoid of morality. Indifferent toward evil. I'd be curious to hear some off-the-cuff psychological assessment of her...theories on nature (sociopathy); nurture (lack of?).
I spoke with a psychiatrist who told me that the worst kind of narcissist is the wealthy narcissist. She was referring to D T***p before he even won the primary election.
I think she had remorse for bringing her sister Unity to Germany, but not for her love for Mosely and loyalty to him and belief that fascism was the way out of the Great Depression. As for anti-Semitism, that was common at the time all over the world and in all political and class circles.
I wouldn't say that of Jessica: her autobiography 'Hons and Rebels 1961 paints a very interesting picture of her rambunctious father Lord Redesdale.His character is also fictionalised as 'Uncle Matthew in her sister Nancy's novels: 'The Pursuit Of Love' 1945, and 'Love in a Cold Climate' 1949. He was an indulgent and loving father, who took his daughters hunting and riding - I think they were way more fortunate than many of their female peers. Then again, I'm 'Old School' - and have no use for a pop psych term like 'Daddy Issues', and probably don't understand it.
I received a letter from Mosley to meet him in France in 1973. I was then a newsworthy young up and coming politically involved businessman that believed in a new Britain. I turned down his invite because of the facist tag but on investigation into his past I understood and shared his beliefs in shaking up what was then and has been ever since the stifling class system of Britain in which both Labour and its Unions are as much as fault as the entrenched Establishment in their petulant divisions which are the cause of Britain's ruin.
Fascism is about as democratic as our own system, that is, not at all. The main difference is that fascism doesn't pretend to be something it isn't, whereas a great deal of time and effort goes into convincing the people in democracies that their opinion is actually worth something.

She always makes me so cross. She had every reason to be better than this, but she and Unity chose fascism. I understand what was appealing about the theory at the time, but she defended all of their actions as a couple until the end. She couldn't even see how deeply evil her ideas had been in real life. Shame on you, Diana. Wherever you are now, I raise my middle finger towards your spirit.
@@joseplaza9442 Exactly m8!! It's beyond me how anyone from Britain can look around & not see what's happened & continues to happen to our once Great Nation. She & Oswald's views & ideas were for the most part definitely on point.
Britain went to war because we had a treaty with Poland to come to their aid if attacked. Britain honoured their promise. Further, Churchill wasn't in the government when war was declared.

Interestingly, the concept of “follow the money” is rarely applied to these historical documentaries. Ron Chernow’s “House of Morgan” has some really interesting parts relating to the British and American banking community’s relationship with European fascism and its strain of anti-semitism. There was an enormous amount of Jewish-American banking investment in Germany during WW1 prior to the US declaration of war. Meanwhile Morgan was absolutely in Great Britain’s camp. Among other things Germany simply ran out of money / credit by 1918. Much of Hitler’s hatred of Jews was related in part to this and what he believed about the stabbed in the back myth. By the mid-1920s, American banks were loaning large sums to Weimar Germany and (then) fascist Italy. Reichsbank president Hjalmar Schacht had deep connections with the international banking community and managed to raise huge sums for the Nazis mid-30s spending sprees and military buildup. It didn’t last and when Schacht was forced out in 1937.
That's because “follow the money” is for the naive and gullible. Its not a tool for investigation its a tool to trigger imagination. That's why “follow the money” end up with conspiracy rubbish. If I wanted to spread conspiracy first I would spread “follow the money” thinking. Think about what I have written and its seriously not smart despite sounding clever.
America was making those loans in an attempt to shore up the way the German economy had been plundered by the Treaty of Versailles, something that America's President Wilson begged England and France not to do after WW1 knowing it would plunge Germany into the kind of abyss that radicals rise to power out of, and you're also conveniently forgetting that at the same time loans were being given to England and France and American industry was building Ford and GM plants there also, and all the while both had their colonies around the world they took all the riches from while leaving the people of those places with nothing. So take your "everything's America's fault" narrative and shove it.

She's evil. Through and through. Make no mistake - she was always well aware of her and her husband's traitorous conduct - she just simply didn't care.
she -didnt care- admired it*
the ruling class are by and very large, sociopathic the world over ime.
I will be the Devil’s Advocate: Oswald's conduct was not traitorous until 1939 when the UK passed a law that made it so. At 41:30 “18-B allowed the government to arrest anyone who might be subject to foreign influence or control.” Arrest & held without trial. Sounds like something that happened in Nazi Germany, not in the UK. And that was BEFORE the UK declared war.
Oswald was an avowed Fascist, but why? The UK’s economy was crushed by the Great Depression & Fascism solved (or better said appeared to solve) high unemployment, lack of business investment, etc. Fascism as a form of government seemed to be the answer.
Oswald was an antisemite but was hardly alone in blaming the Jews for everything wrong in the world in the 1930’s. From this video, prior to WWII, I didn’t get the impression that that was a bad thing in the public’s eye.
Lastly Oswald didn’t want to go to war with Germany but what Englishman would want to? At the end of WWI, the German Army occupied foreign soil when its government surrendered. Its country was never invaded. The UK went from the world's biggest creditor to the world's biggest debtor; all for protecting Belgium’s neutrality. WWI UK casualties: 800,000+ UK soldiers dead, x2 wounded. I read that the 1921 census was 106 Englishwomen for every man. Now 20 years later the UK wants to go to war with Germany over its invasion of Poland? Poland, a country that didn’t exist until the Treaty of Versailles? And the UK will be an ally with the Soviet Union?? A country that had a nonaggression treaty with every Axis country?
All her family except for 1 sister were pro Hitler. She came from the privileged upper class. Spoiled, and selfish. I really can't imagine her worrying about the poor. These types worried about losing their privileges if a socialist government came to power. Look at Edward and Mrs Simpson 2 more Nazis, another pair that should have gone to prison.😢😢😢
@@shoofly529 106 women for every man?
@@Mark-f9y2rI don't know about 106 women to 1 man, but 1921 was right after the First World War. Plus, it was only a couple of years after the Spanish Flu. So many men from every country died in that war. Trenches, machine guns, poison gas, bombing...people hadn't experienced mechanized war, so they just marched right into the meat grinder.
What a beautiful visionary couple. True Patriots!
Her son Alexander Mosley is the spitting image of his mother. Wow.
Suicide....drugs
You loved life; so you chose to be friends with merchants of death!! Wonderful 😮
Merchants of death are quite able in deceit tactics. For instance, the European Peace Fund has collected trillions to finance the war in Ukraine, which has killed 700,000 Ukrainiand and 200,000 Russians so far.
the so called Merchants of death from your perspective tried 22 times for peace and allowed their country to be bombed for three months before any retaliation. Like many you were brainwashed. The real evil was not in Germany...
And you draw your conclusions about the so called merchants of death after being told so by media and books written by Jews, right?
Nicely put, so to say.
In fairness, do you honestly think she knew that was going to happen
There are echoes of friendly arrogance that are cloaked in ignorance and naïveté.

Dulwich eh, farage went there -- keeping up tradition no doubt.
I had never heard of the Mosleys before stumbling upon this outstanding bigraphical report. Well presented against the background of historical events and the influence of the times on our lives. But also not without the important factor of consideration and reflection of how human lives get caught in the nets of the era into which a person is born. The decisions one makes can only be understood if viewed from the narrow window of a particular generation. In retrospect, the knowledge we gain changes the entire spectrum. We may be wiser, but should be careful to judge what happened then through the prism of what we know now.
Enjoyed this top notch documentary immensely.

Many thnaks for sharing this
The most balanced documentary I have seen of Diana, and the only one in my experience that was not sensationalized. Most (but not quite all) presentations treating of the Mitfords generally are flawed by surrender to that false impulse. Their lives were all, to one degree or another, supremely interesting but also supremely complicated. Would I had been younger when I became aware of them A lifetime might not afford time to absorb the full picture.
Good point
"Interesting and complicated" its a way of giving an aura of mistique to the inmoral behaviour of the upper class!!!!
^ 50:15 50:15 Not convinced it was balanced, but perhaps they felt they needed to make it clear which side they were on?
The Mitford sisters are not worth a lot of your time.
@@DonHendrickson-xd7jw is that so?
Jessica sounds like a courageous woman & in an interview with Christopher Hitchen (also on youtube), said she didn't speak to Diana after the age of 19.
Diana & Mosely might be a good example of fidelity as understood by the upper class (also covered by Jane Austen in Mansfield Park & the recent filming of Mary Shelley):
infidelity is accepted (& expected?) provided there's no divorce or scandal?
Where marriages are arranged, adultery is a compensation (or consolation)?
Think one of her sisters said that Diana was conveniently blind to the faults of the men she admired.
Diana & Mosley seem to think they (he was?) were right & mis-represented, but the only people likely to know much about them now are those on the "wrong side" of the argument.
Enoch Powell took up the baton about mass Immigration 40 years later...pretty sure he thought he was miss-represented as a racist.
Did he ever say what he thought of Mosely & vice-versa?
The Mitford sisters were controversial and a bit whacky. But whatever else they were, they were definitely fascinating.
Agree never boring
And did not care a jot for their subhuman underlings. Never worked a day in their lives....parasites and bloodsuckers.

Her younger sister hated her politics.
Indeed, her sister Jessica or Decca was a strong liberal who married a labor lawyer and lived in the US. She wrote a great expose about the funeral industry. I think it was called “The American Way of Death”?

Jessica’s first husband Romilly was killed in the Spanish Civil War. They were on the Republican side against Franco.
@@busterbiloxi3833 you do realise that British fascists were fighting the Nazis from the first day of the war while the communists were told not to fight because of the Russian/German non aggression pact which allowed the two countries to carve Poland up between them and the fact that Mosley was one of the first politicians to call for rearmament when Hitler came to power, if you read a history book then perhaps you wouldn't make silly comments.
@@davidpollard1139. How does one realise that "british fascists were fighting the Nazis from the first day of the war"? Not from this video showing the Mosleys supporting Hit, for sure. What history book to be precise.... we all know many many british like H.... at the begining, even the crown....😂
Apparently, Britain declared war on Germany because it was in a "fight against Fascism" but most people are unaware that the country in whose defence Britain entered the war as a pretext (but never actually intended to defend), Poland, was also a dictatorship at the time. In reality, the Allies were only fighting against Fascism because Fascism was fighting against Finance.
@@satireofcircumstance6458 ... very astute! And who were the financiers? Jews.
The war is well studied and the majority in Britain know the history.
Germany knew Britain and France would declare war should Poland be invaded. It knew Russia would not join in.
The US would always support Britain and France. Balance of power and a just cause.
We know everything has to be paid for.
Traitors are Not Glamorous….😊
How were they traitors? They shared a political ideology with men who became Britain's enemies. The documentary. Made no suggestion that once war had begun that the moseley' did anything to undermine or betray Britain's war effort.
That statement is more apt for the present crop of fascists
Traitors ??? They were against throwing another generation away to the meat grinder of war. Mosley saw first hand the horrors of WW1 and didn't want to ever see Britain repeat it

I read about a mini-series about to drop on a streaming channel.
I think she had remorse for bringing her sister Unity to Germany, but not for her love for Mosely and loyalty to him and belief that fascism was the way out of the Great Depression. As for anti-Semitism, that was common at the time all over the world and in all political and class circles.
And still is
These Mitford girl, every single one had 'daddy' issues.
Definitely
They completely lacked moral integrity and critical thinking skills. Horrible family.
I wouldn't say that of Jessica: her autobiography 'Hons and Rebels 1961 paints a very interesting picture of her rambunctious father Lord Redesdale.His character is also fictionalised as 'Uncle Matthew in her sister Nancy's novels: 'The Pursuit Of Love' 1945, and 'Love in a Cold Climate' 1949. He was an indulgent and loving father, who took his daughters hunting and riding - I think they were way more fortunate than many of their female peers.

I received a letter from Mosley to meet him in France in 1973. I was then a newsworthy young up and coming politically involved businessman that believed in a new Britain. I turned down his invite because of the facist tag but on investigation into his past I understood and shared his beliefs in shaking up what was then and has been ever since the stifling class system of Britain in which both Labour and its Unions are as much as fault as the entrenched Establishment in their petulant divisions which are the cause of Britain's ruin.

Fascism is about as democratic as our own system, that is, not at all. The main difference is that fascism doesn't pretend to be something it isn't, whereas a great deal of time and effort goes into convincing the people in democracies that their opinion is actually worth something.
Well said.

Interestingly, the concept of “follow the money” is rarely applied to these historical documentaries. Ron Chernow’s “House of Morgan” has some really interesting parts relating to the British and American banking community’s relationship with European fascism and its strain of anti-semitism. There was an enormous amount of Jewish-American banking investment in Germany during WW1 prior to the US declaration of war. Meanwhile Morgan was absolutely in Great Britain’s camp. Among other things Germany simply ran out of money / credit by 1918. Much of Hitler’s hatred of Jews was related in part to this and what he believed about the stabbed in the back myth.
By the mid-1920s, American banks were loaning large sums to Weimar Germany and (then) fascist Italy. Reichsbank president Hjalmar Schacht had deep connections with the international banking community and managed to raise huge sums for the Nazis mid-30s spending sprees and military buildup. It didn’t last and when Schacht was forced out in 1937.
Joseph good point very interesting Henry Ford ?
That's because “follow the money” is for the naive and gullible. Its not a tool for investigation its a tool to trigger imagination. That's why “follow the money” end up with conspiracy rubbish. If I wanted to spread conspiracy first I would spread “follow the money” thinking. Think about what I have written and its seriously not smart despite sounding clever.
IOW, Hitler believed an exaggerated lie & you are repeating it to exculpate him. Great job!
right you are. Following the money is essential to make sense of history. British history.
America was making those loans in an attempt to shore up the way the German economy had been plundered by the Treaty of Versailles, something that America's President Wilson begged England and France not to do after WW1 knowing it would plunge Germany into the kind of abyss that radicals rise to power out of, and you're also conveniently forgetting that at the same time loans were being given to England and France and American industry was building Ford and GM plants there also, and all the while both had their colonies around the world they took all the riches from while leaving the people of those places with nothing.
So take your "everything's America's fault" narrative and shove it.
