A row broke out at a 1940s re-enactment festival when an angry crowd confronted a group dressed up as Nazi soldiers.
"It was deeply offensive. These men were not milling about and blending in among people. They were marching and making a demonstration. It was frightening.
Responding to the news, historian Mike Walters said on Twitter: "People who dress like comedy SS clowns from 'Allo 'Allo teach us nothing, absolutely nothing, about the Second World War.The Eastern Front Living History Group defended themselves, saying they'd "never had a problem" over "four or five years" attending the festival.A spokesperson said: "We represent the western European nations that fought against Stalin and communism during World War II.
“As a group we’ve been attending the Sheringham 1940s weekend for four or five years running and never had any problems before.” “As a group we do not tolerate any politics or any form of religious persecution. We simply won’t have it. That behaviour disgusts us and tarnishes what we do. We were not asked to leave. We were leaving anyway to go back to our campsite. We felt it was the right thing to do."
