This used to be one of my points about the ambiguities of reenacting any period. I've shouted the most bizarre stuff during ECWS events years ago, alongside people who would easily criticise any German reenactor while refusing to acknowledge that their beloved Cromwell had his moments of nailing people to walls etc.
Louis Theroux is the man to talk to the SS chaps, rather than Mr Sweeney's blunt and uninspired tabloid style attack.

Cheers,
Adam.
