About
John Amery was born in Chelsea, London, England. He was a British fascist who proposed to the Wehrmacht the formation of a British volunteer force and made recruitment efforts and propaganda broadcasts for Nazi Germany. Because of such activities he was executed for treason after the war. He was the son of Leo Amery , a Member of Parliament and later Conservative government minister. John's brother Julian Amery also became an MP and served in a Conservative government. At the age of 21, he married Una Wing, a former prostitute, but was never able to earn enough to keep her for himself. He left Britain permanently to live in France after being declared bankrupt in 1936. In Paris, he met the French fascist leader Jacques Doriot, with whom he travelled to Austria, Italy, and Germany to witness the effects of fascism in those countries.
