A group of blokes decided to dress up in Nazi SS troops while attending a local 1940s festival.<\/p>\n

The group showed up at Sheringham High Street, Norfolk to take part in the annual festival, which celebrates cultural symbols of the 40s. It also highlights the community spirit during the Second World War.<\/p>\n

The controversial get-up included SS markings on their collars and badges with swastikas and \u2018death\u2019s head\u2019 symbols. And the rest of the festival wasn\u2019t happy about it.<\/p>\n

According to The Mirror, one man decided to confront the inappropriate group. It allegedly resulted in a brawl, which police had to break up. <\/p>\n

One of the uniformed men told officers they had been assaulted by a member of the public as officers escorted them from the scene. Officers removed the men in a bid to keep the peace.<\/p>\n

Festival organisers said to local media that German uniforms from the period are permitted at the event, but not if they "promote the Nazis". More conventional uniforms seen in the event's Re-enactment Parade included those of the British military, other allied forces, and classic police uniforms.<\/p>\n

Other people meanwhile wore outfits referencing celebrities and civilian fashion trends of the era. The demeanour of the men is said to have left some at the event feeling uncomfortable, with one attendee whose father escaped Nazi Germany in the Kindertransport claiming they were "marching in unison".<\/p>\n
