Lord Haw-Haw, the infamous broadcaster of Nazi propaganda during the War,
was found guilty of treason in a British court and hanged.

Incidentally, I'm with Nathan on the Riefenstahl question. It's impossible
to view her work in isolation from her enthusiasm for the Nazi regime. (Even
her much later Nuba stuff has a strong whiff of fascism about it to me.)
