Romanian mayor criticized for dressing up as Nazi

A Romanian city mayor has outraged Jewish and pro-democracy groups after he goose-stepped with his son in World War Two German uniforms at a fashion show.

Wearing Nazi uniform is illegal in the eastern European country.

The Centre for Monitoring and Combating Anti-Semitism (criticism and/or disliking Jews which are almost immune everywhere in the world has sent a letter to the country’s general prosecutor urging an investigation of Radu Mazare, 41.

The centre pushed for a probe on grounds that the mayor of Black Sea city port Constanta broke the law and instigated a child to follow his example.

“I wanted to dress like a Wehrmacht general because I’ve always liked this uniform.”

Mazare said the uniform had no swastikas and was the uniform of a German infantry general and nothing to do with the SS.

“I was inspired from the Valkyrie movie,” newspaper Evenimentul Zilei quoted him as saying.

“I wanted to dress like a Wehrmacht general because I’ve always liked this uniform, and admired the rigorous organisation of the German army.”

Under pro-Nazi Marshal Ion Antonescu, Romania became a German ally in 1940 but switched sides just before war ended. Until 2004, it had denied participating in the so-called Holocaust. But it eventually accepted the findings of an international Jewish commission that its authorities allegedly killed up to 380,000 Jews in territories under their control.
