Fury as Neo-Nazis hold birthday party for Adolf Hitler complete with swastika flags and birthday cake

Neo-Nazi extremists openly gathered at an Oldham pub to celebrate Adolf Hitler’s birthday complete with flags and even a cake decorated with swastikas, it emerged today. Members of the north west branch of racist fringe group British Movement assembled at the Duke of Edinburgh last Saturday afternoon. The far right obsessives unfurled flags displaying Nazi symbols and even tucked into a black, red and white birthday cake emblazoned with a swastika. They then showed off about the shocking celebration on social media, sickeningly saying the pub had been filled with the ‘warm laughter of comrades’ as they marked ‘the 136th Birthday of Uncle A’. After been approached about the appalling scenes, the pub has said it had no knowledge of the actions of the group of up to eight men and one woman and had now reported them to police. (…) One picture, showing three men with their faces pixelated holding a flag emblazoned with a swastika, SS bolts and the Iron Cross, has been digitally altered to include a black and white photograph of Hitler. Another shows five men stood posing behind the British Movement flag. The footage shows the men unfurling the flags to pose for pictures before quickly hiding them away. It also shows one man, wearing a German national team football shirt with ‘Fuhrer 44’ printed on the back, appearing to do the Nazi salute. A post on the group’s Telegram feed reads: ‘On a gorgeous sunny afternoon in Greater Manchester, a platoon of Northwest British Movement met up to celebrate the 136th Birthday of Uncle A. (…) The Duke of Edinburgh’s incoming landlady Jean Anderson, who is taking over the pub from her partner Terry English, said she knew nothing about the group’s outrageous neo-Nazi stunt. She said: ‘We didn’t see anything until it was posted online.  ‘We thought it was a birthday party. ‘They said they had a cake, but we didn’t know what happened because they covered everything up. ‘The pub was full. There were about six to eight men and one woman.
