Father who named son Adolf Hitler dressed as Nazi for family court hearing

A man who gave his children Nazi-inspired names dressed up in full fascist regalia on Monday as he appeared in court seeking to secure visitation rights to his youngest son. Heath Campbell – father of Adolf Hitler Campbell, 7, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell, 6, Honzlynn Jeannie Campbell, 5, and Heinrich Hons Campbell, 18 months – donned a German Nazi uniform for the hearing in Flemington, New Jersey.

The 40-year-old, who also sports a large swastika tattoo on his neck, was appearing before the court in a bid to win the rights to see Heinrich Hons, who was taken into care by social services shortly after his birth in November 2011. Heinrich's elder siblings had already been taken into care in 2009.

"I'm going to tell the judge, I love my children. I wanna be a father, let me be it," Heath Campbell said shortly before the hearing. Campbell rejected claims by social workers that he had been violent towards his children in the past. "Let me prove to the world that I am a good father," he said. "I've never abused my children, I only name my children and I don't think it's right anymore.

"Basically, what they're saying is because of my beliefs and I'm a Nazi, that us people don't have any constitutional rights to fight for our children." Asked whether dressing up as a Nazi was likely to help his case, Campbell was confident it would not be held against him: "If they're good judges and they're good people, they'll look within, not what's on the outside."
