BARNABY JAMESON QC PROSECUTING
DENIES CHARGE Mum Patatas A DAD accused of belonging to banned neo-Nazi National Action posed in a Ku Klux Klan outfit holding his newborn son, a court heard.
Jurors were shown a photo said to be of Adam Thomas in the gown and hood of the US white supremacy organisation.
Another is said to show Thomas, 22, and Claudia Patatas, 38, by a Nazi flag with their son, who was allegedly named after Adolf Hitler.
Prosecutor Barnaby Jameson QC told jurors the snaps were from the “Thomas-Patatas family album”.
Describing the photo of Thomas in a KKK outfit holding his son, he said: “The suggestion is that is Mr Thomas BY MARTIN FRICKER and his child, whose middle name is Adolf.”
And talking about a photo of a hooded man with a machete, he said: “There is a strong inference it was taken inside their home, and the person in the robes was Thomas.”
Jurors were also shown a card, with KKK figures and the words: “May all your Christmases be white.”
Birmingham Crown Court was told Nazi gear found in their home included a Swastika cookie-cutter, cushions, armbands and far-right uniforms.
Other items seized by police included a copy of a letter written by SS chief Heinrich Himmler plus Nazi flags and banners. It is also alleged the couple allowed a convicted racist to pose for a snap with their son while making a “Hitler salute”.
Thomas and Patatas, of Banbury, Oxfordshire, are accused of having a “fanatical and tribal belief ” in white Xmas card & dagger supremacy. They allegedly belonged to far-right National Action, now deemed a terrorist group.
Jurors were told the group held an online beauty pageant called “Miss Hitler” in 2016.
Patatas, Thomas and Daniel Bogunovic, 27, of Leicester, deny belonging to a banned organisation. Thomas also denies a charge relating to possessing items which could be used for a terrorist act.
The defendants allegedly had “extensive weaponry” including an axe, crossbows and knives.
Thomas and Bogunovic are said to have had a “particular interest” in machetes. Police also allegedly found National Action flags and banners. The trial continues.
