Top Nazi’s grandchild hosts Nigel Farage at AfD rally

Nigel Farage entered the German election campaign by telling supporters of an anti-immigrant party that Angela Merkel’s welcome to a million asylum seekers was “the worst decision made by a national leader in modern history”.

Mr Farage, a radio presenter, MEP and former Ukip leader, was invited to address a rally of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) by one of its MEPs, Beatrix von Storch, a duchess who is the granddaughter of Adolf Hitler’s finance minister, Lutz Graf Schwerin von Krosigk.

Well I didn't know Hitler had a grand daughter (or a daughter for that matter) but how embarrassing to be directly related AND be a Nazi! I mean surely you would want to be as far from a Nazi as possible but nope :nono:

I knew it!
She battled through in every kind of tribulation,
She revelled in adventure and imagination.
She never listened to no hater, liar,
Breaking boundaries and chasing fire.

So it's weird because when I started this thread I would never have guessed that Hitlers granddaughter was in fact, James O'Brien the LBC radio host!

The weird thing...The last post here was from November 2, but this came up top of "New Posts" for me. So yeah, stroke.

How about I confuse you a little more? There are no duchesses in Germany, nor have there been for the last 99 years. Or dukes, for that matter.

Is someone claiming that the Nazis have a time machine that they are using to feck about with a chat room on the internet? :ask:

She would be a duchess if the aristocracy hadn't been abolished quite some time ago.

The former MEP Otto von Habsburg, too, would have been emperor of Austria-Hungary had it not been for some intervening events.

Farage leaving UKIP is a bit like Hitler leaving the Nazis for being a bit too Nazi.
