The Heroic Duke of Edinburgh
Prince Philip is a Nazi sympathizer alright. There's nothing ridiculously torqued up about that phrase whatsoever, is there. Obviously knowing what we know, if you were alive back in the 1930s, you likely fell into one of three camps: an appeaser, a sympathizer, or worse, an active partaker slash collaborator. It tarnished every nation, every government, and with the notable exception of a certain Sir Winston Churchill (God bless his soul), every public figure at the time. It tarnished even the neutrals (how could the Swiss and Swedes stand by?), even the King (what the hell was Edward thinking?), even the Pope. Yes, even His former Holiness, the Vicar of Christ. So spare us the continuing grief.
Besides, between the time the Nazis came to power and the British Commonwealth declared war, he was between like 12 and 18 years old. And we all know what happened when he turned 18, don't we - he joined the Royal Navy. As a dashing and courageous naval officer in his youth, the man became a war hero overnight. He served in the Mediterranean Fleet and was engaged in the battle of Matapan against the Italian fleet, for which he was mentioned in despatches and awarded the Greek War Cross of Valour. He later served in the Pacific, and was present in Tokyo Bay for the Japanese surrender on 2nd September 1945.
Since then the Duke of Edinburgh has distinguished himself with a lifetime of public service to the Commonwealth. The official record in this regard is absolutely breathtaking to behold. I encourage you, indeed challenge you, to read the whole thing. It'll knock your socks off.
Prince Philip is an inspiration to the world's youth, the leading war veteran of the British Commonwealth Ex-Services League and the most elegant man on the planet. I take great issue with anyone who unfairly associates this gentleman royal consort with the despicable Nazis of the past.
POSTSCRIPT: Not sure if this bolsters his image any further, but most incredibly the islanders of Tanna in the South Pacific apparently worship Prince Philip as a god.
