Subject: Enquiry: Meeting Between Leon Degrelle and Winston Churchill
Dear Crecy Puiblishers
I attach the back dustcover to the Crecy Publication Imprint of Leon Degrelle’s book entitled ‘Campaign in Russia – The Waffen SS on the Eastern Front’ (originally a French-language biography covering his time in the Belgian SS) – although the above reference is from the 1985 ‘English’ language rendition – published by the ‘Institute for Historical Review’. The back dustcover states that Degrelle met Churchill – implying that this meeting happened in 1936 (the same year Degrelle met Hitler).
I would be very grateful if you could provide the historical reference for the statement that Leon Degrelle met with Winston Churchill in 1936.
Thank you for your time in this matter.

Thank you Hannah!
We have checked the records of the Holocaust Memorial Museum (US) and the records of the Churchill Archives of Cambridge University (UK). Both historical Authorities agree that no such meeting took place – and this finding will be reflected in the resultant research paper.
Kind Regards
Adrian
