Lord Haw Haw

[Cleo]

I am interested in the history of our house. Apparently Lord Hawhaw was arrested here - does anyone know any more about him?

British Nazi who broadcasted propoganda from Germany during the war and was hung afterwards

On the southwark website it says:

"Like most of South London, Dulwich was hit by the bombing raids of World War Two with many civilians killed, and properties destroyed. Ironically one of the houses that was destroyed was once inhabited by the infamous Lord Haw Haw. During the war Dulwich was used as a training base by the Dutch government in exile to train agents before their return to the Netherlands."

but any mention of arrests happened on the Danish borders

No, Wood Vale. The story is that Lord Hawhaw used to court the daughter of the house? Does anyone know more?

Thanks

I've been to the house where he lived -OverHill it was a while back I think. Certainly on the hilliest bit of E Dulwich. And you could See Dawsons.

I believe there was some dispute as to whether Mr Joyce could actually be convicted for treason as he was of American birth (or something like that). Fat lot of good that did him. I think the Crown's argument was that he had claimed British citizenship or protection and that was good enough.

Reminds me of Eamon de Valera, the Irish statesman, who escaped execution after the Easter Rising on similar gounds of claiming American origins. Didn't stop hjim becoming President and Prime Minister of Ireland any amount of times.
