Hell of a pic to wake up to

This is on the front page of our newspaper today. It made me gasp when I saw it, I can only imagine the gut-blow to real survivors and their families. A very dear friend has already written to the editors; that friend and his wife are the remnants of two families lost to the reality that fuels this young man's fantasies. A link to the article is below the pic.

1. Context?

The first question came to mind when I saw this post was why was this on The front page of your local newspaper?

What is the context? This is very clearly an imitation of the uniform of a high-ranking Nazi. But why would any newspaper decide to publish this?

Who is the man in the uniform? Is it some sort of role-play, or cos play?

and this is him in his costume. It sounds as if he's played this role for a few years now. I don't know why it's on the front page of your newspaper. If it's a story at all it should be buried elsewhere in the paper.
