William Joyce Zitate

William Joyce alias Lord Haw-Haw war ein irisch-US-amerikanischer faschistischer Politiker und während des Zweiten Weltkrieges ein Propaganda-Rundfunksprecher der Nationalsozialisten. Er wurde von den Briten wegen Hochverrats hingerichtet. Als Inhaber eines britischen Passes habe er dem britischen Staat Treue geschuldet – ironischerweise hatte er sich das Ausweispapier mit falschen Angaben erschwindelt. Wikipedia
