Feature in "The Independent"
Helen has recently been featured in an article in The Independent entitled ‘Archive video shows Nazi flag flying in Glasgow; Hitler salute in London – but what should we read into it?’
The article, by Kiran Moodley, represents an attempt to understand how, in 1930s Britain, symbols of Hitler’s Germany – such as the swastika and the Heli Hitler salute – had not yet gained the notoriety and connotations that they possess today.
The piece is a response to the recently-discovered archival footage which apparently shows members of the Royal Family (including the Queen) practising their “Heiling” in the gardens of Balmoral.
