F. P. Yockey

Sir: Would the mystery author of the letter on Jewish war dead (31 July) who signs himself 'F. P. Yockey, Box 76062, Los Angeles, California' care to reveal his identity ? Francis Parker Yockey (alias 'Ulrick Varange') was the author of lmperium: The Philosophy of History and Politics. His main contentions in this book were that the Second World War came too soon, that Hitler was the Hero of the War and represented the Spirit of the Age, and that the Jews were responsible for the decline of the West. The original F. P. Yockey did us all the favour of committing suicide in an American prison in 1961.
