A mother and father accused of membership of a banned extreme far-right terrorist group named their baby after Adolf Hitler, a court heard.

Adam Thomas, 22, and his partner Claudia Patatas, 38, gave their child the middle name Adolf, which the prosecution alleged was in honour of the infamous Nazi leader.

The Crown also claimed the couple were pictured at home with another man, a convicted racist and "vehement Nazi", who was holding a Swastika flag and performing a Hitler-style salute over their baby.

Thomas and Patatas, both of Waltham Gardens, Banbury, Oxfordshire, are on trial at Birmingham Crown Court accused of being members of the group National Action.

Co-defendant Daniel Bogunovic, 27, of Crown Hills Rise, Leicester, is also in the dock facing the same membership charge.

Opening the case, Barnaby Jameson, prosecuting, told jurors on Tuesday all three defendants were alleged members of National Action - a group "so extreme and violent" it was banned by the Government in December 2016.

He said the case was about a "terror spread by a small cell of fanatics", built on a racist ideology and warned jurors they would find much of the evidence "upsetting and disturbing".

The barrister added the case would detail the "hate crime committed by National Action members and the ruthlessness with which they were prepared to spread terror".
