Nice to know he was hanged for his behavior. It doesn’t matter what people say to try to cloud the facts. The result was proper.

How could Joyce be tried for treason when he was a German citizen, and had never been a British subject?

A fascinating story of a ghastly man who got what he deserved.

William Joyce was a two-time loser who played a very dangerous game,
and lost everything including his life. He is almost a forgotten figure these
days. Few people under 40 will have heard of him, if at all.

I am from Myanmar (formerly Burma). We have been under British colonial rule as well as under Japanese fascism. So we are unbiased as to which is better: the allies or the fascists. This is because we hate both. But if you ask to choose us one, we would gladly be under British reign than inhumane fascism. So, british people who romanticize the likes of Lord Haw Haw, should bear in mind that Britain and Allies would be wiped from the face of the earth should the Axis Powers win. This is the fact that those of us from unbiased country see.

I have to say there seems to be a miscarriage of justice here he lied to get a British passport in my mind that doesn’t make him British! he did after all take out German nationality.

Lots of people are traitors.If you are on the winning side you will be fine. Although you try to convince your fellow man in what you believe in. William Joyce believed in what he was doing. No worse than Walter Lippmann for example. The list is endless the price is high if you nail your flag to the wrong mast.
Think Nuremberg and the US Presidents who are still floating around. Criminals all of them. Joyce a minor actor was made an example off.

“I am sorry for the sons of Britain who have died without knowing why” – were the last words of this cynical nazi bastard. I hope he was happy with being hanged knowing why.
