It's well known and well documented.
BUT...it's not that big a deal.
Princess Marina's father was an officer in the German army. Marina is really German royalty, not British.
The Duke of Windsor, in his younger days, was also known to have tried to keep peace between Germany and the United Kingdom. The Duke of Windsor's connections to German royalty, German nobility, and to the Nazi Party got him the distant post of Governor of Bermuda during WWII. The official reason was to make sure he was out of harm's way, but the real reason was that the George VI needed his half-baked brother far from the limelight, where he couldn't do any damage.
People who like to point to these connections are ignoring the bigger and much more important Jewish connections that the royal family have. England, for a thousand years, has been a relatively safe place for Jews, and the dynasties through the centuries have always been well connected to the big Jewish families. This is the more important connection, and it has served the nation and Jews very well.
In fact, without the monarchy, there really wouldn't even be an Israel, you know.
The German and Nazi connections before WWII
are there, but let's not run away with it.
