The British Free Corps ((ドイツ語:Britisches Freikorps)) was a unit of the Waffen SS during World War II consisting of British and Dominion prisoners of war who had been recruited by the Nazis. The unit was originally known as the Legion of St. George. Research by British journalist Adrian Weale〔(BRITISH FREE CORPS IN SS-WAFFEN – MYTH AND HISTORIC REALITY )〕 has identified 54 men〔Weale, Adrian (2014-11-12). Renegades - Appendix 5 British Members of the British Free Corps and their Aliases(Kindle Locations 3757-3758). Random House. Kindle Edition.〕 who belonged to this unit at one time or another, some for only a few days. At no time did it reach more than 27 men in strength – smaller than a contemporary German platoon. ==Origin== The idea for the British Free Corps came from John Amery, a British fascist, son of the serving British Secretary of State for India, Leo Amery. John Amery traveled to Berlin in October 1942 and proposed to the Germans the formation of a British volunteer force to help fight the Bolsheviks. The British volunteer force was to be modeled after the ''Légion des volontaires français contre le bolchévisme'' (Legion of French Volunteers against Bolshevism), a French volunteer force fighting with the German Wehrmacht. Apart from touting the idea of a British volunteer force, Amery also actively tried to recruit Britons. He made a series of pro-German propaganda radio broadcasts, appealing to his fellow countrymen to join the war on communism. After the war he was sentenced to death for high treason and hanged.
