Country:  | I thought he was supposed to be dressed as a soldier in the Afrika Korps. I suppose it was the swastika armband that got the most notice. | |

Country:  | It was daft really - the Afrika Korps had no S.S or S.D in it's ranks, so nobody would have worn an armband.
I remember reading the Sun describing them as the hated Afrika Korps, which again was complete and utter B.S, as outside of the business of combat, both the A.K and British and Commonwealth troops treated each other very cordially.
In fact, there's an urban myth that a party of captured Italian soldiers were sent back by the Aussies with a message to send an equivalent number of A.K's instead! | |

Country: | Agreed, the armband was uncalled for. Just a tasteless addition. Quote: |

Country: | Ideally...
But seriously, "Rule Britannia" would be so much better. (I frequently sing Rule Brittania with the adapted lyrics, "Rule Italia"  )

Country: | It's a good old Imperial tune, but do you think it really makes sense today? 
Mind you, our own anthem seems a tad hypocritical these days.  | |
