David Irving comments: I AM not sure how undiscovered these letters are. I remember reading a Sunday Express series about thirty years ago in which letters of William Joyce were reproduced. They showed great strength of character, and fearlessness in the face of his adversaries. To his mother on the day of his execution he wrote, I recall: “I am not afraid of death. My death will cause less pain to me than my birth caused to you.” And more in the same vein.
BBC Monitoring Reports regularly transcribed Joyce’s radio broadcasts from Berlin. On the occasion of the 1945 British air raid on Dresden he broadcast that while the British were gloating that there would not be much china left undestroyed in the city that morning, they failed to realize that what was at stake was more than just the future of a few pieces of porcelain.
His style went down well with the British working classes, and at one time he had a listening audience of millions in England. His fellow traitor in Berlin was John Amery , son of Churchill’s schoolfriend and Cabinet Minister Leo Amery . On trial for his life at the Old Bailey in 1945, John Amery was asked on the first day, Nov 28, 1945, how he pleaded. He said: “Guilty, Your Honour.”
Shocked, the judge put on the black cap and sentenced him to death immediately, and he was hanged a few days later. His father was recently outed by Prof William Rubinstein as a secret Jew. Go figure that one. Curious detail: In 1959, when I was having my scurrilous London University magazine Carnival Times produced, I was given a tour of the London printing work, Haycock Press, situated in London’s Bermondsey I think.
A printer came up to me, wiping his ink-stained hands on an overall, and thrust out one paw to me. “Great Editorial, David,” he said. “Right stuff.” He was Mr Joyce, William’s brother. Small world. A reader suggests: “If you want to download some programmes of Lord Haw-Haw. go to http://www.winmx.com/ install it and type in Lord Haw Haw in the search bit.”
The letters, written by Joyce as he awaited trial and then sentence in 1946 for broadcasting Nazi propaganda during the Second World War, have been discovered in an attic. In the last, dated December 28, 1945, just six days before he was hanged, Joyce made it clear there was no sense of repentance.
He wrote from Wandsworth prison: “The execution will take place at 9 am on Thursday; and you can think of me at that time as entering upon a triumph and of your friend as carrying this friendship to the other Bank (sic).” Joyce, who was dubbed Lord Haw Haw for his broadcasts from Berlin which always began with the words: “Germany calling”, made his pro-Hitler, anti-Semitic broadcasts throughout the war, dismissing England’s chances of resisting the Nazis.
His German passport, sealed his fate in the British Court His diary: March 24, 1945 Website note: William Joyce was picked up by troops near the Danish border on May 28, 1945, shot in the arm by a soldier who believed he was trying to resist arrest, and brought
