Ever heard of the British Free Corps? A unit of the SS, recruited among British POW's, some of which got the DEATH PENALTY for treason, after the war. I had to think of that, all of a sudden....

Two different articles in this case, but why on Earth do so many people here feel compelled to act as Posting Police? Has to be one of the most annoying tendencies I've ever encountered on an Internet board and I've been participating in them since way back in the Prodigy days. SHEESH.

I went to see 'The Producers' on Broadway. Lots of swastikas. No one upset.
This boy must not have normal intelligence. This would be tacky for any college kid, but for someone from the British royal family to do this is beyond stupid.He has to have had endless advice about being appropriate.
What was he thinking? A prince has all sorts of advisors and aides. Where were they?
People in the Prince's position simply have to understand they can't fool around with symbols like the Nazi swastika--even at a costume ball..
Many young adults from prominent families act out a bit, as do most kids. Most don't show this level of stupidity.
The kid is a real oaf.
As big an idiot as his father. (Chuck)
The House of Hanover was renamed the House of Windsor during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II's grandfather George V when World War I made it quite unfashionable to have a German monarch. Thus, George V was both the last Hanover monarch and the first Windsor monarch.
Oh yes, for you purists, I do realize there were three place-holding Stuart monarchs after James II, the last Stuart descendent alive when the Stuarts were first booted out, was given his walking papers in 1688. His father, of course, was the notorious Charles I, who forfeited his head as well as his throne in 1649.
You said IT, MM! I too often why it's sooooo necessary for others to jump right on some poor innocent soul who happens to post a duplicate/related article as one already posted. Where that "compelling impulse" comes from, I'll never understand! SHEESH is right!
It's a different article, for crying out loud.
And besides, lots of people, including me, did not see the other one!
It bugs the heck out of me when posters feel the need to act as police on the threads.
I do think the practice evolved from the early days when people tried to save bandwidth, but all the same, it's gotten out of hand.
Aw, give him a break, he was probably taught revised history: The Germans were just misunderstood and the French are really very lovely people. Both countries love England and the Euro is the best thing since sliced bread.
Or, on second thought, maybe he is just a complete idiot as you said.
Since Hitler bombed the crap out of his country and killed a whole lot of Brits
I'm betting on that he is a complete idiot
You're telling nobody saw him before he left and told him how inappropriate this would be? Is this what the best education money can buy gets ya?
Jews, as a rule, don't push Judaism onto people. We're generally not out to convert people, as Born Agains are.
The House of Hanover became the House of Saxe - Coburg after Victoria married Albert. This became the house of Windsor at the time of Geo V.
Frankly the only house they should be in is the jailhouse.
