What's said and done in the dark will always come to the light. Now there had to be some sort of pride instilled in him as a German descendant and his relationship to the Nazis in order for him to feel comfortable wearing that. (it's the same thing as those in the south who praise their confederate ancestors, to me) That's fine if that's your heritage, but don't be surprised when those on the other end of the matter react to your pride.

Now the perception, at least in my opinion will be that the only reason there is any interest in the Camp is because of the negative PR as a result of this incident. I mean come on, this "boy" is old enough to know right from wrong as well as what the Holocaust was. He DID attend, supposedly the best schools in Europe. You can't convince me that no one ever taught him about that horrific event and if someone did and he STILL went out wearing that, then I feel sorry for the English who have to have such high regard for their royal family as leaders (those who do).

I guess, as I always thought, people who aren't a part of the group who suffered just don't have much of a sense of seriousness of their experiences.
