English-born Houston Stewart Chamberlain (1855-1927) became an ardent pro-German by his twenty-fifth year, and moved permanently to Germany in 1876. There he acquired a BSc in natural science and spent the rest of his life writing works promoting the greater German cause, including writing anti-English wartime propaganda during the First World War. He was also an early supporter of Adolf Hitler and the NSDAP and was the first celebrity to publicly endorse that party at the time of the 1923 Putsch.
