'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

I wonder why he did it. Is he a Nazi and figured he could get away with because it was a costume party or is he actually that completely oblivious to reality?'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight.

Whats the big deal? Hes certainly not the first guy Ive seen dressed up as a nazi at a fancy dress party.
Is it considered bad form to dress up as any historical bad guy? Its just a costume. If he was preaching nazi ideology or dissing any Jews present or whatever, it would be a different matterSafer worlds through superior firepowerComment

it's not the brightest thing he's ever done, but there seems to be a bit of an overeaction here."The Christian way has not been tried and found wanting, it has been found to be hard and left untried" - GK Chesterton.

Overreaction? This man is third in line to the throne of the British Empire. This is a total lack of judgement on his part. Someone this close to the throne can't afford to exhibit this type of insensitivity. Tens of millions of people died due to the Nazis. Harry needs to realize that with his position comes a certain amount of responsibility."I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration." - Hillary Clinton, 2003Comment

yeah but it was at a fancy dress party, is it really that awful to go dressed as a bad guy from history? Lord knows there are enough of them."The Christian way has not been tried and found wanting, it has been found to be hard and left untried" - GK Chesterton.

They should force him to watch that "dressing-up-like-hitler-is-not-cool" video from South Park.

It is if the villain's victims are still around and you're flagrantly displaying yourself in their view. I wouldn't go dressed as Idi Amin to a party full of Ugandans, that's for sure.Originally posted by C0ckney

He apparently told reporters that he thought the swastika was a "communist windmill". I find that rather more worrying than wearing the thing in the first place.Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

There's TV comedies with people wearing Nazi uniforms, i don't see why people get their knickers in a twist over some drunkard public figure dressing up as one.Comment

buckseed, well i'm not sure it's quite the same, he didn't go dressed as hitler, he went dressed as a german military commander.
if it was an indication that harry was a nazi, then it would be something to worry about, but i don't think it is, anymore than wearing a 'CCCP' jacket is an indication of being a communist.
