An actor dressed as Hitler on the streets of Germany was begged to bring back labor camps and to pose for selfies.
Oliver Masucci plays the Nazi leader in ‘He’s Back’ (‘Er ist wieder da’), a biting social satire by author Timur Vermes which was released in German cinemas this week.
However, it is not his performance, but the reactions of people on the street to ‘Hitler’ which have got the country talking as it prepares to welcome hundreds of thousands of refugees this year alone…

The reaction horrified the actor, who revealed to the Guardian how he was made to feel like a ‘pop star’ when he arrived at the Brandenburg Gate.
‘People clustered around me,’ he said. ‘One told me she loved me, and asked me to hug her. One, to my relief, started hitting me.’
Older people began pouring their hearts out to him, often voicing extremist views.
‘Yes, bring back labour camps,’ one person says to the ‘dictator’ in the film.
