Fascist Fables: The Mitford Sisters' Sanitisation with Guy Walters 41:59

منذ 6 weeks41:59

41:59

In this fiery episode of History Rage , host Paul Bavill welcomes back historian, journalist, and author Guy Walters to rage against the sanitized veneration of the Mitford Sisters. These interwar aristocrats have often been glamorized in books, media, and society, but beneath their glittering façade lies a much darker reality. Fascist Fables: Unity Mitford's Obsession with Hitler : Unity stalked Adolf Hitler, met him over 130 times, and became one of his closest British confidantes. Her diaries, recently unearthed and published, reveal her disturbing Nazi sympathies and personal infatuation with the Führer. Diana Mitford's Glamour and Extremism : Diana married Oswald Mosley, leader of the British Union of Fascists, in Joseph Goebbels' living room, with Hitler himself in attendance. Despite her aristocratic charm, Diana remained an unrepentant fascist even decades after the war. The Mitford Dynamic: The Extreme Spectrum : With parents steeped in fascist ideology, the Mitford siblings included fascists like Diana and Unity, alongside Jessica Mitford, an avowed communist. Guy explores how political extremism permeated the family’s psyche. Romanticisation in Media : From syrupy books to glossy TV dramas, the Mitfords are too often depicted as glamorous, eccentric aristocrats, overshadowing their political extremism and disturbing sympathies. Guy’s Call to Action: Stop the Mitford glorification. Shift your fascination to figures like the women of the SOE—glamorous, courageous, and committed to fighting tyranny, not enabling it. Join Guy Walters as he dismantles the myths surrounding the Mitford Sisters and rages against the misplaced admiration for these controversial figures. 📝 For more on this topic, follow him on X (formerly Twitter) at @guywalters .

The Rage Against Historical Distortion: - Dr. Tibble debunks the common misconceptions about the Crusades, highlighting the diverse and complex nature of the Crusader states, where Europeans, Arabs, and Armenians intermingled and intermarried. - Discover how the image of the noble, white knight is far from the reality, as Crusader armies were a melting pot of different ethnicities and religions. Crusader Criminality Unveiled: - Explore the seedy underbelly of the Crusader states, where piracy, banditry, and rogue knights were rampant. - Hear about the shocking tales of pirates who terrorized the seas and bandits who made travel perilous, even for high-ranking officials. The True Nature of the Crusades: - Dr. Tibble challenges the notion that the Crusades were purely religious wars, arguing that they were also a clash between nomadic and sedentary societies, driven by climate change and mass migration. - Learn about the fragmented and competitive nature of the Middle East during the Crusades, where local Muslim rulers often fought each other as much as they did the Crusaders. Saladin: The Great Conqueror: - Reevaluate the legacy of Saladin, often portrayed as a unifier and chivalrous leader, but who spent most of his career fighting and conquering his Muslim neighbours. - Understand the complex and often brutal tactics used by Saladin to maintain his power and expand his territory.
