William Dudley Pelley, An American Nazi in King Arthur’s Court

The names of King Arthur and his knights have been invoked by many, perhaps none more infamous in twentieth-century American history than William Dudley Pelley, author of the screenplay for an important 1922 American silent film about the Grail, founder in the early 1930s of Galahad College and Galahad Press, but also a rabid anti-Semite, convicted-swindler, and racketeer, and Nazi sympathizer before, and traitor to America during, the Second World War.
