Swastika over Wales?

2014
On 30 September 1938, the Swastika flag was raised over Cardiff’s Town Hall, where it fluttered alongside the flags of Britain, France and Fascist Italy. The instructions came directly from Tory mayor Oliver Purnell and within hours he had received a message from the German consul “expressing delight at the Lord Mayor’s gesture of friendship”. Purnell himself described it as “a gesture of jubilation” at the outcome of the Munich conference. An agreement by which Britain and France conceded to Hitler’s demand for Nazi Germany to annex the Sudetenland in return for a dubious promise of peace.[

Nazis: Ultimate Evil

2014
When we think of the most evil Nazis, the first that comes to mind is Adolf Hitler. But Hitler couldn't have done it alone. The atrocities of the Nazi party required a vast network of evil; from the intellectual elite who legitimized Hitler's ideas to the public, to the desk-jockeys who carried out his orders with ruthless efficiency, to the low-level thugs who delivered those orders face-to-face and blow-by-blow to their intended victims. Who were these people? What did they do? How did they become this way? And which ones--in some people's minds--are considered as evil--or maybe even more evil--than Hitler himself?
