Columbus, IN Scottish Festival - Grumblings

I don't want to tread on American toes here, but, as a lad I saw nazi uniforms for real, on prisoners, the uniforms offended me then and the uniforms offend me still.

Jock - I cannot agree more. I lost family members in WWII.

If memory serves me correctly, there are WWII German reenactors in the UK as well. I belive Daz has posted photos of them before.

As a former reenactor (not WWII) I would agree with Hector's comments.

Todd - there are a couple of 'military vehicle groups' which display vehicles from both the Allies and the Axis in uniform, but as far as I know, no one, I repeat no one, wears either the swastika or the SS symbols. Off the top of my head, I don't know if the wearing of those symbols is illegal in the UK, but I know that it is in Germany and France.

Chas,

Highlander Daz has posted several photos of German Reenactors in the UK. They do exist.

Well, you live and learn. I am amazed and shocked and frankly quite saddened that such a thing is happening in my own country.
