British Union of Fascists

From Turtledove

The British Union of Fascists was a far-right political party in Britain founded by Oswald Mosley that supported the Nazis. Partisans of the BUF wore black tunics and trousers and had a reputation for being violent thugs. In later years, members were quite proud of the fact that Mosley was cracking skulls about the same time Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party were in Germany.

After Britain was defeated in the Second World War, Germany installed the British Union of Fascists as the only legal political party in Britain with Oswald Mosley as prime minister.

By 2010, Oswald was long dead and the BUF was still the only party in British politics. However, prior to the death of German Führer Kurt Haldweim, the BUF began a period of quiet subversiveness, extolling the virtues of the First Edition of Mein Kampf, wherein Hitler, before he came to power, supported the democratic election of the party leader. This idea galvanized the BUF's younger generation. At their 2010 convention, Charlie Lynton was elected prime minister.
