A Republican politician in the US has been criticised after pictures of him dressed in a Nazi uniform emerged on the internet.
Senior Republican figures have now sought to distance themselves from Rich Iott, a House candidate from Ohio.
Mr Iott admitted being a member of a group that re-enacted SS battles.
But he said he had been involved in re-enacting from many different eras and did not mean “any disrespect to anyone” in the US military.
