A fanatical neo-Nazi couple who named their baby son “Adolf”, after Adlof Hitler, and were part of a group banned under anti-terror laws, were sent to prison by a British court on Tuesday.
Adam Thomas, the 22-year-old husband, was sentenced to six and half years in prison while his 38-year-old wife Claudia Patatas, from Portuguese, was sentenced to five years.
Judge Melbourne Inman of the Birmingham Crown Court said the group had "horrific" goals.
The couple were among six people who were sentenced for their membership of the National Action. The group was the first right-wing group to be banned under anti-terror laws.
National Action wanted "the overthrow of democracy in this country by serious violence and murder, and the imposition of a Nazi-style state which would eradicate whole sections of society by such violence and mass-murder," the judge observed said.
Inman said the couple, who gave their child the middle name "Adolf", had "a long history of violent racist beliefs".
"You acted together in all you thought, said and did, in the naming of your son and the disturbing photographs of your child by symbols of Nazism and the Ku Klux Klan".
Photographs recovered from their house showed Thomas cradling his newborn son while wearing the Ku Klux Klan white robe.
The couple's close friend, Darren Fletcher, who admitted National Action membership before trial, was also jailed on Tuesday for five years for the same crime.
Fletcher, 28, had taught his daughter to give a Nazi salute.
Daniel Bogunovic, 27, a leading member of National Action's Midlands chapter, was sentenced to six years and four months.
Two other men, cyber security worker Joel Wilmore, 24, and van driver Nathan Pryke, 26, were also sent to prison.
