Leo Amery was a Birmingham M.P. from 1911 to 1945. I was watching a programme on one of the cable tv history channels the other day. It turns out that his son, John Amery, sided with with Hitler and instigated the forming of the British Free Korps a unit of the Waffen SS. The unit only managed to attract around 20 or so British P.O.W.'s to join its ranks and they never saw active service. John Amery was caught after the war and hung at Wandsworth Jail in 1945.
