http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article2500368.ece Begs the question of who and why some people become re-enactors. Most are, of course, interested in history but obviously others are in it for more political and subversive reasons. When the BBC did a programme about the re-enactors at this years "War & Peace Show", (see Times article below) showing the attitudes and behaviour of some of those dressed up as Germans, there was an outcry against the programme-makers across the web. Personally, I would be suspicious of anyone who wants to go around dressed as an SS soldier - until they can satisfactorily explain their reasoning. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article2327844.ece
At best, a strange choice. Even if they don't specifically support Nazism, its difficult not to believe they must have a fascination with the Dark Side, or a desire to shock. There are plenty of heroes on our side to emulate, and if they really just admire the German war machine or want to provide balance, then as some other forumite said, whats wrong with the Afrika Korps or the Fallschirmjagers?
