CB, all sides agreed as part of the Geneva Convention that it's not cricket to wear the other team's uniform. The word is "perfidy" apparently. It's a poor show to conduct such underhand strategy.

In the good old days, battles were fought with rank and file and manoeuvres on a battlefield. With serried glory and manly confrontation. Women and children were nowhere in sight. There was marching, bugles, pikes, flags, drums and bagpipes. Real men didn't skulk around in the shadows, dressed as girls or wearing another's uniform.

I don't think Germans complained about Hulme. I think it's just some New Zealand researchers checking out finer points of historical events. WWII involved Germans bombing cities and all sorts of human rights breaches. In the 1930s, they were attacking Jews and others. Jolly poor show. They were not harbingers of freedom and human rights.
