I feel it would. Hitler was very certain that the British, with their mixture of Saxon, Celt and Norse, were also Aryans. In the Nazi order of peoples, the British were second only to Germans - ahead of Italians and Japanese. With the British on side, the Commonwealth, Dominions and United States could be pushed towards supporting the European fascist movement - as these areas were heavily populated by those of German and British descent. Canada may not have been so supportive, due to their French heritage - although France might have avoided war without British support.Would Moseley's British nationalism butt up against Hitler's?
On the eve of war the Poles asked the Germans for their demands. They were refused.Hitler made up his mind to invade Poland only after UK offered their "guarantees".
If UK doesn't guarantee Poland, then Poles will accept German demands.
Croats were claimed by the Germans and Ustache as being descended from Goths. Hitler said that Bulgaria were Slavic speakers but more related to Turks (and I believe he or another suggested they adopt the Latin alphabet), while the Slovaks... They didn't really care about them SNO long as they kept to their mountains and shut up. Hell, he thought the Czech were related to Huns and perfectly Germanizable due to their centuries of acting German, while Himmler found Bohemia-Moravia had more racially desirable people by percentage than the Sudetenland did. And this was AFTER their annexation. But yes, the main focus was against Poles and East Slavs, with other Slavic speakers being in less than desirable areas. Heck, Himmler (not the exactly a big leader for most of the war, of course) apparently suggested that they would pressure the Finns into taking northern Norway and Sweden after they had declined German feelers about it.Axis members: Croatia, Slovakia, Bulgaria. Cossacks being "aryan" and "descendants of Goth". Field marshal "honorary aryan" Erhard Milch.
Ideology was fanatically followed, until Fuhrer declared something an exception. Then it was an exception, no matter how outrageously arbitrary, and everyone fanatically fell in line.

Oh, that makes more sense - my brain was having the day off. Sorry.Apologies but I meant butt up against as in "be in conflict with" as opposed to "join with".
I feel Moseley wouldn't take kindly to being given orders by Germans.

Here, he gained the public's eye as speculation concerning the receipt of a Victoria Cross - which he could not recieve as a civillian. As the First World War progressed, he came again into the public eye. He was instrumental in the invention of the "landships" and was integral to the Gallipoli campaign. My point over all, is that Churchill was a national hero
Of course. By 30th August, war was already decided, and Molotov-Ribbetropp pact signed. Too late for Poles to negotiate, or even surrender. Negotiation had to be done months earlier, preferably immediately after rump Czechoslovakia was annexed by Germany,On the eve of war the Poles asked the Germans for their demands. They were refused.
