Guy Stair Sainty labelled as Hitler-fan

Guy Stair Sainty’s posts have only one function: to attract the attention of the many people with – for whatever reason – a fascination for Hitler and to hide his true nature and—in this case—the true message of the book he promotes: that the British were wrong by fighting Hitler.

Adolf Hitler is considered to be the most villainous man of the twentieth century. His vile and ruthless deeds are common knowledge. In fact, the name Hitler has now become synonymous with evil. Hitler still is the icon of evil, who is best known for employing concentration camps. His deeds were so monstrous that other mass murderers are shoved into the shadows. Hitler is the subject of numerous and various kinds of films, books etc.; fact as well as fiction. Hitler is also a hobby for many people, and some of these, like Guy Stair Sainty, are even on such a level of involvement that one could definitely label them “fans.”

This is alarming. Media coverage of recent racist riots in the East German city of Chemnitz showed just the tip of the iceberg: what lurks beneath the surface remains hidden. This Neo-Nazism comprises the post–World War II militant, social, and political movements that seek to revive and reinstate Nazi ideology. Neo-Nazis employ their ideology to promote hatred and white supremacy, attack racial and ethnic minorities (which include antisemitism and Islamophobia), and in some cases to create a fascist state.

It is shocking to see that Guy Stair Sainty is “happy” to promote a book about Nazi tea parties in Downing Street, banquets at London’s best hotels, the Coronation of George VI, coffee and cake at Hitler’s Bavarian mountain home, champagne galas at the Berlin Olympics, and afternoon receptions at the Nuremberg Rallies.
