Whenever I've attended the war & peace show there's no shortage of Englishman dressed up in German kit & most, it seems prefer to masquerade as members of the Schutzstaffel.
The last time I went there was a sweet stall adorned with nazi flags.
If you like rein acting that's fine, I also get why people like German kit but I don't get the nazi thing. There were after all plenty of Wehrmacht units.

I know exactly what you mean. I saw this BBC docu a few years back trying to explain why so many Brits want to go to the Dark side and be a Nazi.
see 02:40 and onwards...
The other "interesting" thing is that a lot of the vendors at these events are Germans... who travel to the UK to sell their "goods"... while back home in Germany... sale of these artifacts is Illegal!! See video at 11:20...
