A new low for Hollywood.
Via Fox News:
Furious war veterans hit back last night after a Nazi invasion was filmed for the upcoming “Transformers” movie at Sir Winston Churchill’s birthplace.
They attacked film makers for turning historic Blenheim Palace into headquarters for Hitler.
Huge swastika flags were draped from the mansion, where Britain’s wartime PM was born.
Actors dressed as storm troopers from the Fuhrer’s feared SS strutted up the entrance steps.
They were shooting Hollywood’s fifth “Transformers” film “The Last Knight” on Wednesday evening.
Close by were a Panzer tank, a German anti-aircraft gun, Mercedes staff cars and ammo boxes stamped with eagle emblems.
Blenheim Palace would not confirm whether it knew the nature of the script beforehand but film insiders said it was “inconceivable” that it would be kept in the dark.
Tony Hayes, of Veteran’s Association UK, said those left who fought in World War Two “will be appalled by this.”
Ex-commander of British forces in Afghanistan, Colonel Richard Kemp, said: “I know its a film, but it’s symbolically disrespectful to Churchill. He will be turning in his grave.”
