corrigendum/oxford university press
18 Nov 1998
Format:Paperback
footnote 45 on pp. 392-3 should read; "The Times, 9 August 1943. By 1945 Gordon-Canning has disappeared from Who's Who. I am told that he helped to defray the legal costs involved in the defence of William Joyce for treason in 1945, and he achieved notoriety for purchasing a bust of Hitler at the sale of contents of the German Embassy. This was to be used in Kingdom House in connection with the worship of Hitler, and he told a reporter after the sale that, like Christ, Hitler would come into his own again. See the New York Times, 28 November 1945. Prince Henry joined the British Army as soon as his Detention Order was revoked, and in due course was granted a commision. He must have been cleared of all suspicion, as in 1947 he was granted British nationality.
