Group wearing Nazi SS uniforms clash with furious locals over costumes

The organisers of a popular 1940s festival are facing calls to ban Nazi uniforms after ugly scenes saw clashes between locals and a group of men dressed in 'deeply offensive' SS costumes complete with swastikas.

The men were confronted by crowds on Sheringham High Street in Norfolk during the resort's annual Second World War-themed festival at the weekend, which sees people dress up and watch aircraft from the time fly overhead.

The group of around ten to fifteen people subsequently had to be escorted out of the area during the '1940s weekend' by police to stop trouble escalating.
