Swastika over Wales?

Charting the political climate that saw a Nazi flag fly over Cardiff City Hall in 1938, and examining how the Nazis thought they could recruit the Welsh to their cause.

But ultimately the Germans' belief that they could recruit the Welsh to their cause would prove fatally damaging - not to Wales, but to the Nazis themselves.
