British Union, name given to the British Union of Fascists (founded in 1932) in the autumn of 1937. Led by
Oswald Mosley its membership was then in decline from its height of 50,000 in June 1934, and by the summer of 1939 was about 11,000. The Italian government supported it early on, but there is no evidence that Germany did so or was interested in using it for intelligence purposes. In May 1940 Mosley and 33 other BU leaders were arrested under the Defence Regulations (18B) and interned. Altogether 747 BU members were detained, 200 of whom were still in detention in December 1941, 130 in the spring of 1943, and 15 in September 1944. The BU was never actually proscribed, but by September 1940 it was judged to be defunct.
