There is a story in this weekend's Accrington Observer about complaints received over the display of a uniform in an antique shop window. Some members of the British Legion were incensed that it was on so prominent a display in the town, because they thought it was infact a uniform of the Hitler Youth. The owner of the shop is quoted as saying that in fact it is a World War II fireman's uniform.
What really made me laugh was this quote-
"A number of members thought it was a Hitler Youth uniform and they were asking what the Accrington Pals would say if they were around today and saw it in the window.
Since most of the Pals were killed at least ten years before the Hitler Youth were being formed, I doubt they'd have any inkling what the uniform was, unless they were time travellers.
