A Tory student group has apologised after leaked footage showed them dancing to a Nazi marching song.

The Warwick University Conservative Association asked the DJ at a gathering following their annual “chairman’s dinner” to play Erika, a song composed in 1938 by Nazi soldier Herms Niel.

In a leaked video published by The Times, students can be seen dancing and laughing to the song before one member spots the camera and says: “Don’t film!”

The students are also accused of chanting “Kill the Hughs” – substituting the word “Jews” for the name of their outgoing association chairman Hugh Herring.

Reports suggest they also said: “Heil the chairman”.

    While I think it is sus, Once saw a documentary on the battle and occupation of Narvik that used a germam march for “allied victory” (it was “unser Rommel”) The strange thing was that this march was used as a melody for a Norwegian nazi propaganda song.
