Nazi Costume vs. Nazi Deeds

When I heard all the hoopla about Britain’s Prince Harry and his Nazi costume, of course I found his gesture ignorant and insensitive....and ultimately not worthy of 1/1000th of the news coverage it garnered.



Call me crazy, but I’m less concerned with those dress like Nazis than those who act like Nazis.



Prince Harry is a pampered dolt...but he hasn’t (as far as I know) participated in mass murder. Not to mention, if the U.S. hated Nazis so much, why did they recruit some of Hitler’s worst criminals in the post-war era, e.g. Otto Skorzeny (below)?



For a bit more on that, check out this old article of mine:
