British Army Officers Investigated for Nazi Costumes

Two British Army sergeants from the Queen’s Royal Hussars are under investigation after wearing SS uniforms and giving Nazi salutes at a Halloween party in Tidworth, just days before Armistice Day. The Regimental Sergeant Major (RSM) approved their costumes but has since been suspended for misleading the Commanding Officer regarding this approval. Following complaints from shocked attendees, military police removed the soldiers from the event, and images of their actions circulated on social media, inciting outrage. The Army has issued an apology, acknowledging the unacceptable behavior and significant lapses in judgment that contradict military values. While formal inquiries are ongoing, there are concerns that the soldiers may escape severe repercussions due to the prior approval of their costumes. The incident has drawn condemnation from former officers, emphasizing the sensitivity surrounding remembrance of those lost in WWII.
