dilligaf Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Er, the Sun has a habit of using this theme ... A Hitler youth.jpg Spot the difference? To be fair, The Sun does not create the news, just reports what others do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paswt Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Could a 'wave' to attract attention be interpreted by some to be a "Nazi salute" I've been given to understand that to wave a straight arm when in the sea for example is normally interpreted to mean that someone is in trouble/ drowning and is unlikely to indicate solidarity with a fascist dictator but I could be wrong just saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballaughbiker Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 The Sun does not create the news, just reports what others do To be fair, the sun chooses to suddenly report something trivial that happened 80+ years ago. I think (hope) they've shot themselves in the foot with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I think the Sun regards the Great British Public, incorrectly, as being particularly thick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sick Moon Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Can't see why the Royals are so bothered about it. It just goes to show how sensitive they are about their Germanic ancestry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrie Stevens Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Many years ago the "Examiner" I think it was published a 1930s picture of German soldiers with swastika flag etc marching past the war memorial on Douglas promenade...They were on an official UK visit that took in the Isle of Man also...I think they were parading as part of what was then known as "Armistice Day" I have tried to track down this photo from time to time but to no avail.

Chinahand Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I think the film is of historic interest. Hitler didn't just entrance Germamy, but many appeasers of his phobias and desires too. Edward VIII was almost certainly one of them and here is likely evidence of the beginnings of his romance. Sure there is more than an element of larking about. But that is the point. Fascist theatrics from Musselini to Hitler had caught a mood not only of their own countries but all across Europe and the World. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
