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.
