I dressed up as the devil for Halloween one year. The DEVIL has to be worse then wearing a swastika armband, but nobody flashed my picture across the world’s media. What does a poor peasant boy have to do to get soon press?

"....Rommel hated Hitler". Right. He argued for an arrest of the then incompetent dictator. Rommel knew that man wanted to see Germany utterly destroyed with him. Hitler found out. Rommel was forced to commit suicide- or they would destroy his family. This you already will know.

Just mentioning it though for others. The old socialistic government controlled Canadian T/V called the German army in Africa- The NAZI AFRIKA CORPS. Pretty convenient these phrases, being as NAZI was a political party.

I wonder what happened to the scream and cry about WMD? Ask Harry- LOL

Nay maybe Stalin or Pol Pot, or better as Muhammed the Mad.

He already apologized. He is probably embaressed. We need to move on.

Most of the Royals are useless twits anyway. The Monarchy will be gone within a generation and England will become just like any other Eurofascist country.

Pop quiz, where did the swastika come from? And before Germany what country used it on it's medals?

Give the guy a break.

You might tell that to the millions of holocaust and other victims of the nazis all over Europe. Then to the thousands of victims and survivors who died in the Battle of Britain, the blitzkrieg and the V-2 rockets that came smashing down onto London and other cities.

The kid's a royal, for God's sake. And he can stuff his "sorry". It's inexcusable, even for the House of Hanover.

"He is probably embaressed."

I doubt that. It showed poor judgement on his part. If he had a brain he wouldn't have done in the first place.

Funny all this furor (fuerher?) about Rommel. He is looked at today in modern Germany as one of the few to stand up to Hitler, and therefore as a hero. So much so that there is a destroyer in the German navy named "Rommel" which I saw in port at Kiel some years ago. Harry could've gotten away with just the uniform, but the swastika was what pushed it over the top (imho).

If it is true that his father likes to dress up in full mufti and hop around the castle like Larry of Arabia....

You can see where Harry gets it from...

Good thing he didn't do that or put on a grass skirt...paint himself black and put a bone in his nose...and tried to fry up anyone dressed as a missionary...

imo

True. However, How many 20 year olds do you kow exercise good judgement 100% of the time.

Young adults make mistakes. Unfortunatley for him, This is VERY public.

[jb6]

Fewer words and more actions. Any fool can "apologize".

[blackbart.223]

"You might tell that to the millions of holocaust and other victims of the nazis all over Europe. Then to the thousands of victims and survivors who died in the Battle of Britain, the blitzkrieg and the V-2 rockets that came smashing down onto London and other cities."

It seems strange to me how myopic people are to history these days. That little turd showed very poor judgement.

[television is just wrong]

Hopefully he can in the coming weeks.

[jb6]

Now that would be priceless. :)

Don't forget about the Brits and Americans who died fighting and killing Nazi scum. They have survivors also. We lost over 400,000 of our own. Both of my grandparents fought in WW2.

"He is probably embarrassed."

"I doubt that."

Why do you doubt that? He's English, they're embarrassed all the time! That's like their greatest fear in life.

[blackbart.223]

"Young adults make mistakes. Unfortunatley for him, This is VERY public."

Granted. But it should have occured to him this was not a joke. He is twenty and should grow up. Or at least read history.

LOL!
