Gertrude Blount Hiscox (1910 Hendon, Middlesex - 1966 Ipswich) was a British collaborator with Nazi Germany in World War II. In 1941, she was convicted of an offence under the Defence Regulations and sentenced to 5 years' penal servitude. ==Biography== Hiscox was heavily involved in the inter-war politics of the British far Right. She joined the British Union of Fascists in 1934 and was the Organizer of the 8th London Area BUF. She was the girlfriend of the notorious BUF member, Richard A. V. "Jock" Houston, a prominent street activist and anti-Semitic agitator. The couple lived at 50 Thornton Road, Streatham. Hiscox was employed as a travel agent specialising in German holidays and visited Germany regularly from 1935. In July 1937, she was a founding member of the Link, an organisation to promote Anglo-German friendship. She was also a member of the Right Club, a pro-German society founded by the right-wing extremist, Captain Archibald Maule Ramsay, the MP for Peebles and Southern Midlothian. She wrote a letter to Hitler on 31 August 1939 pledging her support to Germany in the event of conflict. Great Britain declared war on 3 September 1939 and the letter was intercepted by the wartime censor and returned to Hiscox. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gertrude Hiscox」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
