Oswald Mosley's Internment and Political Conduct

Oswald Mosley was interned under defense regulation 18B during wartime, which allowed the internment of individuals suspected of sympathizing with enemy states. This regulation was loosely defined, leading to contentious interpretations concerning what constituted sympathy for the enemy. Mosley adhered strictly to the law, refusing to divulge information regarding his comrades, while simultaneously encouraging his supporters to maintain allegiance to their military superiors. His actions stood in stark contrast to the narrative of him being a dangerous revolutionary, as even he cooperated with authorities to a degree, emphasizing the importance of lawful conduct amidst the political tensions of the time.
