As the Russian army moved towards Berlin in the last months of the Third Reich, the crumbling Nazi forces were joined by some unlikely reinforcements – a British SS unit. This documentary, based on formerly classified information, tells the story of these treacherous men.The pro-Nazi soldiers were the brainchild of the upper-class, Harrow-educated John Amery, a conman and sexual psychopath whose father served in Churchill’s war cabinet. Although he was a quarter Jewish (his father was half Jewish), Amery was an anti-Semite renowned for making speeches welcoming the German invaders in France. He then offered his services to Nazi propaganda minister Goebbels, and began working with notorious broadcaster Lord Haw-Haw.
