Couple Who Named Baby After Hitler Face Charges

A couple who named their son Adolf in honour of Hitler were today convicted of being members of a British neo-Nazi terrorist group.

Adam Thomas, 22, and Portuguese-born partner Claudia Patatas, 38, from Banbury in south England, were charged along with Daniel Bogunovic, 27, from Leicester in central England with being members of banned group National Action (NA).

Jurors at Birmingham Crown Court in central England reached a unanimous verdict after being shown photographs during the four-week trial of Thomas wearing Ku Klux Klan robes while holding his baby.

Thomas claimed the photographs were “just play” but also told the court he was a racist.

A terrorist manual, showing how to make home made explosives “including soft drink can bomb” was found on his laptop.

Prosecutors said Thomas had a “fanatical and tribal belief in white supremacy”.

The neo-Nazi group was founded in 2013 and outlawed three years later after it celebrated the murder of Labour MP Jo Cox by a Nazi sympathiser in northern England.
