A couple who named their baby after Adolf Hitler have been found guilty of being members of a banned terrorist group.<\/p>\n

Adam Thomas, 22, and Claudia Patatas, 38, from Banbury, along with Daniel Bogunovic, 27, from Leicester, were charged with being in National Action.<\/p>\n

Birmingham Crown Court heard the couple gave their child the middle name Adolf in honour of the Nazi leader.<\/p>\n

Jurors saw images of Thomas in Ku Klux Klan robes while cradling his baby.<\/p>\n

The Neo-Nazi terrorist group National Action, founded in 2013, was outlawed under anti-terror legislation three years later after it celebrated\u00a0the murder of Labour MP Jo Cox<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors said the East Midlands chapter of the group “shed one skin for another” and “rebranded” after being banned.<\/p>\n

Admitted racism<\/h2>\n

Prosecutors said the case was about “a specific type of terror… born out of fanatical and tribal belief in white supremacy”.<\/p>\n

Thomas told the court that the pictures showing him wearing KKK clothing were “just play”, but he admitted being a racist.<\/p>\n

Thomas was also found guilty of having a copy of terrorist manual the Anarchist Cookbook.<\/p>\n

Barnaby Jameson QC, prosecuting, said a deleted Skype log was recovered from Thomas’s laptop.<\/p>\n

He said the messages sent between two parties spoke of National Action being “destroyed”, with its leaders agreeing to disband with “no attempt at revival”.<\/p>\n

Reading from the log, Mr Jameson said: “But the Midlands branch of NA, which is just 17-20 of us, have decided to ignore this and we’ve renamed ourselves the Thule Combat League.<\/p>\n

“Traitors. Midlands will continue the fight alone.”<\/p>\n

Jurors reached unanimous verdicts after 12 hours of deliberating.<\/p>\n
