Adam Thomas, 22, and Claudia Patatas, 38, from Banbury, Oxfordshire, were found guilty of being members of National Action – an extreme right-wing group, which was banned in 2016.

Jurors at Birmingham Crown Court had heard how Thomas, a former Amazon security guard, and Patatas, a wedding photographer, gave their child the middle name “Adolf”.

Thomas, who even had swastika scatter cushions at his home, said the name was given in “admiration” of the German dictator.

Photos taken from the couple’s home showed Thomas holding his son while wearing the hooded white robe of the Ku Klux Klan.

The court also heard how Patatas, who moved to the UK from Portugal, told another National Action member “all Jews must be put to death”.

Thomas once told his partner he found “all non-whites intolerable”.

The couple, who also wanted to “bring back concentration camps”, were found guilty after a seven-week trial.

Thomas, a former Amazon security guard rejected from joining the army twice, was also convicted on a majority verdict
of having a terrorist manual.

Jurors heard the book, the Anarchist’s Cookbook, contained instructions on making “viable” bombs.

The couple held hands and wept as they were sentenced, Thomas for six years and six months, and Patatas for five years at Birmingham Crown Court.
