Jesus Fuck. I was expecting this was fake, but it's not. Here's the AP article, it's image number 4 in the scroller thingy. Here's that dude's Wikipedia page.

It's one thing when eastern Europe plays it fast and loose with that period of history, but I expect better from my own government.

Edit: It looks like they've already apologised.

Not at all. Only that there is a difference and the distinction is noteworthy when talking about actual WW2 Nazis.
