The Silver Shirts were a far-right party of revanchist nationalists in Britain, headed by Oswald Mosley. They grew quickly in Britain by taking advantage of bitterness and frustration in the wake of Britain's defeat in the Great War, paralleling the rise of the Freedom Party in the Confederate States and the Action Francaise in France. When three British cities were destroyed by German superbombs in the last year of the Second Great War, the Churchill-Mosley government collapsed, and the Silver Shirts with it.
