Adolf Hitler's dad shows up in court in full Nazi regalia
New Jersey white supremacist embroiled in custody battle says he's fit to be father: 'Look within, not what's on outside'
"I'm going to tell the judge, I love my children. I wanna be a father, let me be it. Let me prove to the world that I am a good father," said Heath Campbell, a 40-year-old white supremacist embroiled in a legal battle for the right to see his 18-month-old son Hons.

State authorities took Adolf Hitler Campbell, 6, and his younger sisters Joycelynn Aryan Nation, 5, and Honszlynn Hinler, 4, into custody in January 2009. They have all been adopted.
Welfare services claimed the children suffered from neglect and abuse, while Campbell vows he has never hit his children, and that he's only persecuted because of the names he chose for them.
Heath and his now-estranged-wife Deborah Campbell's fourth child Hons was taken from them by welfare services hours after he was born in November 2011. The Campbells lost their appeal to have their children returned last year.
When asked whether he believed his appearance will further his cause, Campbell told NBC network "Well, if they're good judges, and they're good people, they'll look within and not what's on the outside."
It is certainly difficult to ignore Campbell appearance which includes a Hitler-like moustache, swastika armbands and knee-high black boots. He was accompanied to court fellow Nazi whose name was reported as Bethanie White.
