Yet another story of a lunatic tea-party favoring republican, who in his spare time likes to dress up in his SS uniform (something you'd get arrested for in Germany and Austria) and reenact revisionist history. He claims it's only out of "purely historical interest", but apparently - since it's all so harmless you know - had his name and pictures taken down from his friends' Wiking-site...:doh:
And what do actual historians say?

And what do actual historians say?
"These guys don't know their history.They have a sanitized, romanticized view of what occurred."
"It is so unhistorical and so apologetic that you don't know to what degree they've simply caught up innocent war memorabilia enthusiasts who love putting on uniforms."
