Since the school had not previously put a restriction on what could or what could not be worn, were they out of order in making the pupil remove the said uniform?
Pity this piece was in the Guardian, I am sure if it had been the Daily Mail, they may have shown a photograph on the pupil in the Hitler Uniform complete with a little moustache, instead of just showing us the real thing, as if we had forgotten what Hitler looked like.

Its this kind of banter that makes AB a gem;
""they annexed the Sudetenland"
I must get my eyes tested - I read that (TWICE) as
"they annexed Sunderland""
From Sunny Dave ( probably because I made exactly the same error)
And Freds response;
"The nearest the Germans got in the North was when they bombarded Scarborough, from the sea, in the Great War, which gave rise to recruitment posters reading "Remember Scarborough!", a statement which I initially took as being from the local tourist board"
Oh and Zacs rather excellent comment about invasions and the Poles :) !
The little lad must be tremendously worthy is all I can say; As a 10 year old with a rudimentary knowledge of the cliff notes of WW2 the very last thing I would want to dress up as were I in his position would be the leader of the losers and something of a hate figure.
I am also quite surprised that the mother was seemingly very sanguine about the choice her son was making, helping with the moustache etc.
I can also imagine that, had the school not made a fuss when he showed up in that outfit, some of the media would likely have made a big story out of that too, had it come to light

I explained my surprise, didnt I, jno? As a parent myself I would always encourage independent and lateral thought in kids,certainly, but were I in that parents shoes and my child had come to me asking for help in dressing up as Hitler, I would have dissuaded them, I think, because of the reasons I have already given.
It seems very obvious to me that a 10 year old dressing up as Hitler is always going to be controversial. Maybe I am in the minority :)

The story is actually from the Sun, the Guardian are commenting on it. There is a link in the piece to the Sun article complete with photograph.

He looks good as a Littler.
Agree the school should have specified if they did not want any enemy uniforms.
