ABSTRACT

Joyce had always been active, busy and vigorous. But the episode in the wood at Flensburg had ended all that. He was now seriously disabled and in urgent need of medical treatment. He was therefore transported by British army personnel to a military hospital. Albert Cantor, a stretcher bearer, vividly remembers that journey. The driver deliberately hit every bump on the road. Joyce was being made to pay for his wartime taunts and threats. Cantor also remembers administering a shot of morphine, “not in the best tradition of the Medical Corps.” and placing a wound card around the prisoner’s neck which read: “Lord Haw-Haw … Traitor.” 1 A Jew had wounded Joyce. Lieutenant Perry, born Horst Pinschewer in Berlin in 1922, had arrived in Britain as a refugee in the 1930s and been interned under Regulation 18b before joining the services. 2 Another Jew, Cantor, was now administering to Joyce’s needs. Had he known, the unrepentant anti-Semite would have been apoplectic. 3
