Why are people going after the papers? Sky News and the BBC have been milking this all day. As if they're trying to get everyone offended.
Hands up whoever's never done a 'Hitler' salute...Oh, wait.
Just for ***** and giggles, and because she can, HM should have David Dinsmore, and whatever minions were involved in the story, arrested for treason under the The Treason Felony Act of 1848.
Sarcasm detected, there are currently no ways to commit treason.![]()

This would have been a story if it was filmed last week, or at any point after the war.
In 1933 Hitler hadn't ordered any of the horrific things which would happen in Germany in his pursuit of the Reich. As others have said, Hitlers right wing views sat quite nicely with a lot of the British upper and landowning classes in the early '30s. He was, after all, anti Union, at a time when the unions were becoming more organised, militant and powerful among the working classes.
It wasn't until the war started that Hitlers real agenda alienated him from the British upper classes.
Mein Kampf was published in 1925 and as most people know he clearly documented his dislike of Jews and how he would like to focus more on strengthening the Aryan race.
Churchill wasn't a fan of Jews either, what's your point?
FYI - Churchill was a fan of Islam and his family feared he might convert and become a Muslim. Just thought I'd throw that in and see where it goes.
How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity.
The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities - but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome
I was watching something earlier and they mentioned that the footage was from the Queens personal archive.
Which means that potentially the Sun has been paying for stuff that they have no right to show*, and could even still be in copyright (depending on who took the footage and when they died it could still be covered).
*Again.
