Abstract
In the spring and early summer of 1940, the British government carried out a programme
of mass internment without trial. On 11th May, the first of thousands of 'enemy aliens'
were interned. Many of these internees were refugees from Nazi Germany, often Jews
who had fled Germany in fear of their lives. Others were long time residents of Italian or
German origin. By July, some 27,000 of these people had been deported to Canada, or
interned in makeshift camps in the UK. But another group were also interned without
trial, British citizens who were members of Sir Oswald Mosley's British Union (BU), and
other, smaller, fascist and nazi groups. The historical study of internment has been slow
to develop, and most attention has been directed at the internment of 'enemy aliens'.
