Over the bank holiday weekend I caught the programme on BBC1 about Neo Nazis in WWII re-enactments. A lot of the men who dressed up in SS costumes, despite denying they had right wing views, actually did. One of them was even Jewish! It made me wonder what people actually saw in Adolf Hitler in today's world! This paticuler event even had David Irving, the infamous Holocaust denier there signing his books. I find it amazing how people can airbrush the terror and suffering from WWII history. For this to be even happening, let alone it being under the cover of an re-enactment make me sick and disappointed. I had relatives who died to save our country from the evil of the Nazis in WWII - and to have this happening on British soil is a very sad event.
After I finish reading the last Harry Potter novel and it got me thinking. The Death Eaters dressed in their black robes reminded me of the SS, Hitler's own Bodyguard of troops - very much like the Death Eaters are to Voldemort. Also the wanting of pure wizarding blood was a take on the Nazi view of pure Aryan blood. I had never realised the hidden message under the story before - but it could just be me - or has anyone else noticed it?
On a happier note - I am loving SKINS. I missed it on E4 - so getting my first chance to watch it. It is so realistic and makes what I think is an acturate portrayl of young people today - but I still love it. You really feel for the characters despite their rule breaking - and Maxxie - love you- so excellent!!!
One final thing - a warning - don't! The pigs know - they are very clever beings!
