Nazis in West Street shock

[Barrow Boy]

It's true, members of the Hitler Youth have been photographed massing at the bottom of West Street. Mind you it was in 1936 and they were queing to see an 'Ice Spectacular' at the S.S. Brighton which had recently been converted from a swimming pool into an ice rink!
Just think, three years later both sets of these youngsters pictured were probably fighting and killing each other, funny old world.

It was in 1936 that the BUF changed its name to the British Uinon Of Fascist and National Socialists.

They were going to name it the British Union of National Socialists, but it didn't have quite the right ring to it...mind you, they were a bunch of master bakers.

BUFNS doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

Perhaps the British Union of Fascists and Official Organisation of National Socialists would have been better.

I love that website.

Mods, can you move this to the 'Old Git's ramblings' of NSC. There appears to be a popularist move buildin (currently numbering 1) which wants anything over 40 confined to a 'home'.
