They have been going to the event for years with no problems or complaints , this year a drunken idiot starts trouble and assaults one of them and suddenly the main stream media (no doubt due to social media !) is all over the story.

If they were "fantasists indulging in a very unhealthy SS fascination " surely they would have hit the headlines before and wouldn't have been asked/allowed at the event.

That word "ignorance" again JT....
...I wonder how much the father of a nine-year-old that he'd dressed in SS black actually knew of the holocaust - if indeed he actually acknowledged it.

Anyway - let's get back to "sliders or lugs" & "the positions of the elephant's tail on the 19th Hussars POW badges".... That's what this wonderful forum is about, surely?
