Shocking Max Mosley pictures show him punching anti-fascist protesters during rally for father’s far-right party
The anti-press campaigner, along with his dad Sir Oswald Mosley, also toured a concentration camp on their way to meet top fascists in 1962
SHOCKING photos showing Max Mosley clashing with anti-fascist protesters have emerged.
He was at a rally of his father’s far-right Union Movement in the heart of London’s Jewish community in July 1962.
Sir Oswald Mosley was greeted with sickening Hitler salutes by some of the neo-Nazi thugs he had come to address in Hackney.
One supporter, seen performing a Nazi salute, was Peter Dawson, a racist who drew Nazi slogans on synagogues.
Another was Max’s pal, UM political secretary Keith Gibson, who had been jailed a decade earlier for saying: “Hitler had the right idea about Jews.”
Seconds later, protesters tried to grab the fascist leader.
Photos show Max turning to confront them before throwing a punch with his right fist.
He was arrested in minutes and charged with threatening behaviour.

But magistrates cleared him days later after he insisted he was acting to protect his dad.
A Daily Mirror report of August 2, 1962, noted: “The magistrate, Mr Harold Sturge, finding Max Mosley not guilty, said, ‘It must not be assumed I accede to any of the submissions you have made’.”
DEATH CAMP TRIP

MAX Mosley toured a concentration camp with pals on their way to meet Europe’s top fascists in 1962.
They stopped at Dachau near Munich where the Nazis killed 41,000 people between 1933-45.
Ex-art dealer Barry Ayres said one of their group, a Holocaust denier called Keith Gibson, joked about writing in the visitors’ book: “Good try, but not good enough.”
Mr Ayres told The Daily Mail: “Max was very cross with (Gibson) and said: ‘Don’t you (write) anything, we’re leaving.’
“I don’t think Max had any illusion at all: He fully accepted the Holocaust.”
Mr Ayres added of the tour: “Max was curious. It was nothing nasty.
“We were light-hearted when we entered but the crematoria changed the mood.”
At the fascist gathering in Venice, Italy, where he was joined by his father Sir Oswald, the group met Hans-Ulrich Rudel, who helped Auschwitz beast Dr Josef Mengele escape to South America.
They were also joined by SS commander Otto “Scarface” Skorzeny — selected by Hitler to lead a mission to free deposed Italian dictator Benito Mussolini in 1943.
