23 May 1940 Oswald Mosley Interned

On 23 May 1940, Oswald Mosley, leader of the British Union of Fascists, who by then was  focused on advocating a negotiated peace, was interned under Defence Regulation 18B along with most active fascists in Britain. His wife Diana Mitford was also interned, shortly after the birth of their son Max. They lived together for most of the war in a house in the grounds of Holloway prison.
