Constanta mayor’s Nazi uniform outrages international community

Mazare, 41, said he had not noticed the Nazi swastika symbol on the uniform before he wore it. “I really liked the look of the uniform after seeing it in the Tom Cruise film Valkyrie. I bought it from a costume hire shop in Germany,” he said, quoted by CNN.
Mazare later sent a letter of apology to all the Jewish organizations that felt offended by his gesture. “I wish to apologize to you and all those who felt offended by my appearance at the fashion show on July 18 in Mamaia dressed in the uniform of a Wehrmacht officer,” he wrote. “My appearance took place during an artistic event where I wished to interpret and pay homage to German officer Claus von Stauffenberg who was executed after his attempt to assassinate dictator Adolf Hitler.”
