Didn't Harry sport a Nazi costume not long ago? It's in their blood. In their own private times they sing heil hitler.

My husband wore a Nazi officers uniform to a party once, turns out it didn't make him a Nazi. And also, I have German blood but that doesn't make me a Nazi either, Nor make me sing "heil Hitler".

That shows difference in sense of humour and standpoint in individuals. I would never find any sort of humour in wearing a costume of someone that was a mass murderer. Halloween on not.

Well I am sure at the time it was for any holocaust survivor.
As a black woman I wouldn't wear a kkk outfit out of respect for those who went through it. But we differ I suppose.

As an Irish woman I wouldn't wear a Potato costume out of respect for Potato famine survivors

Maybe the difference in approaches here is that the people who can ironically joke about and condone horrific events that happened to their ancestors are the ones who have moved forward from those horrible events; and those who hang up on them can't ever move forward from them and so they continue to this day. Just saying

I mean it would be easy to move forward if things like this weren't still happening. If people didn't get shot because of their skin color, if footballers didn't get monkey chants when they play, if I could wlk past n all white area without them staring or some sneering my way...the everyday list is endless.

I'm not surprised, there were many blackshirts in areas of privilege and influence, Edward was asked to abdicate due to his affiliations therefore this doesn't surprise me at all.
I posted a pic of our PM doing the same, however inadvertently I agreed it should be removed however due to the sensibilities of members, thinking about it it was in very bad taste. I don't agree with the idea of moving on or glossing over the past, we should recognise mistakes, acknowledge them and never attempt to make light of any past suffering for me it's hugely disrespectful.

well obviously she was too young to be accountable, but the fact that the royal family and large parts of the british aristocracy and barons of industry were nazi supporters is undeniable.

Makes Mr Brands comments a tad more credible that's for sure.

A lot of people supported the Nazis before the war when their true colours came to light. They had supporters all over Europe and America too. What's important is that the majority of people took a stand against them when it all came into the light.

Dezzy's point is basically what I was trying to say, people supported them before they knew what they were really about... No need to come for me with info I already know tbh |

All hail the Moyesiah

Worth remembering that Mussolini had been in power for ten years by 1933 and that many people recognised the very real nature of it and the threat that it could pose: the UK was witnessing street battles itself in the early 30s between Fascists and their opponents. Sure no one could have foreseen the war and the holocaust but then it's hardly as if Nazism was a perfectly benign force apart from those two blemishes on its record. Yes doing this salute would still be pretty uncontroversial but that just goes to show how easily dangerous ideas could spread and be accepted, and there were a lot of people amongst the upper echelons of society who saw a lot to admire in both Mussolini's Italy and in Hitler's Germany as much of the world suffered from the Depression and when the middle and upper classes felt themselves under threat from the spread of Communism and worker's movements.
None of this reflects anything on the Queen obviously, that goes without saying. Maybe even her mother and Edward VIII were doing it mockingly. I doubt that of Edward though. Either way the Royal family are a public institute, this was 80 years ago now, and it's pretty silly to say that only footage which shows them in a good light should be released. |

As you know the nazis had gathered momentum since the beginning of the 20s, if anything 33 was when hitler hit his stride as a dictator for our royal family to appear complicit as we headed towards war would have been seen as the ultimate betrayal.

true, and what's more important is that they still have significant amounts of supporters all over the muslim world.
