Locals stunned after resident puts a Nazi swastika flag up in their garden
Emblem sits next to other flag associated with the Ku Klux Klan
LOCALS in a posh English town have been left stunned - after one of their neighbours began flying a NAZI FLAG above their home.
People living in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, were horrified to see the hate symbol flying alongside an American Confederate flag - associated with racist groups like the Ku Klux Klan.
The swastika-emblazoned flag, snapped by an unnamed local, can be clearly seen by passers-by.
He said: "This is likely to cause a lot of offence in the area. Why would you put up a Nazi flag in your garden? It's horrific and people will find it very unsettling."
Another resident added: "I think people should be against this and fight against this kind of thing."
Trading Nazi memorabilia is illegal in Germany, France, Austria and Hungary but not in the UK.
However many auction rooms refuse to trade in the items and Ebay also has a ban on them.
MPs attempted to ban the sale of Nazi goods several years ago after items belonging to Holocaust victims were sold at a public auction.
At present it is unknown why the flag was erected.
