Father who named his son Adolf Hitler told his ex-wife he was 'the devil reborn' and repeatedly abused her Ex-wife reveals Heath Campbell tried to name their first-born Lucifer She said: 'He believed he was the devil reborn to take over the world' Last week, Campbell said he was a good father outside New Jersey court A self-proclaimed Nazi who is trying to gain custody of his children having named his son after Adolf Hitler was a wife-beating tyrant who was obsessed with the devil, his wife has claimed. Cathy Bowlby, who was married to white supremacist Heath Campbell for three years, revealed he tried to name their first-born Lucifer. But she 'talked him out of it' by suggesting that their son take their father's name instead. Wife-beater: Heath Campbell, 40, appeared at a New Jersey court last week to try to reclaim custody of his children, wearing full Nazi regalia and accompanied by fellow Nazi Bethanie White Campbell appeared at court on Monday dressed in full Nazi uniform as he tried to convince a judge that he was a good father - despite having named one of his children Adolf. But Bowlby told the New York Daily News: 'He claimed that his mother was raped and he was the evil seed planted inside her. He believed he was the devil reborn to take over the world. He'd say, "I believe in the devil. I worship the devil. I am the devil. Last week, Heath Campbell, who had four children, asked the judge to be allowed to see his 18-month-old son Hons. Campbell, from New Jersey, has given three of his children Nazi-inspired names but claims he is fit to be a father and has never abused them. Bowlby said one of his favorite activities was taking her on car rides to a local cemetery. 'To show me where he was going to bury me when he killed me,' she said. She also claimed he terrorised their son, Heath. Once, furious that his two-year-old had knocked into the curtains, Campbell picked up a running vacuum cleaner and held it inches from Heath's face, she said. 'He was absolutely terrified,' Bowlby told the New York Daily News. For years after, he would scream and cry when he saw a vacuum cleaner. Before appearing in court, Campbell, who had a swastika tattoo clearly showing on his neck, told NBC10: 'I'm going to tell the judge, I love my children. The 40-year-old white appeared at a hearing in Hunterdon County Family Court in Flemington, New Jersey. The mother reportedly had also once given a note to her neighbour saying she was terrified of her husband, who had threatened to kill her.
