The Black Book (list of people the Nazis would arrest upon invasion of the UK)

The Sonderfahndungsliste G.B. ("Special Search List Great Britain") was a secret list of prominent British residents to be arrested, produced in 1940 by the SS as part of the preparation for the proposed invasion of Britain. After the war, the list became known as the Black Book.

A print run of the list produced around 20,000 booklets, but the warehouse in which they were stored was destroyed in a bombing raid,[15] and only two originals are known to survive.

Prominent figures included: Winston Churchill, Noël Coward, Sigmund Freud, Virginia Woolf, Charles De Gaulle, Aldous Huxley, Harold Macmillan, Nancy Astor, J.B. Priestley, Bertrand Russell, H.G. Wells.

Came across this when looking up a certain MP.

Yes, that’s right: the Nazis wanted Seymour Cocks!
