A Romanian city mayor has outraged Jewish and pro-democracy groups after he goose-stepped with his son in World War Two German uniforms at a fashion show.

Wearing Nazi uniform is illegal in the eastern European country.
The Centre for Monitoring and Combating Anti-Semitism has sent a letter to the country's general prosecutor urging an investigation of Radu Mazare, 41.
The centre pushed for a probe on grounds that the mayor of Black Sea city port Constanta broke the law and instigated a child to follow his example.
Mayor Radu MazareI wanted to dress like a Wehrmacht general because I've always liked this uniform.
Mazare said the uniform had no swastikas and was the uniform of a German infantry general and nothing to do with the SS.
"I was inspired from the Valkyrie movie," newspaper Evenimentul Zilei quoted him as saying.

"I wanted to dress like a Wehrmacht general because I've always liked this uniform, and admired the rigorous organisation of the German army."
Under pro-Nazi Marshal Ian Antonescu, Romania became a German ally in 1940 but switched sides just before war ended.
Until 2004, it had denied participating in the Holocaust.
But it eventually accepted the findings of an international commission that its authorities killed up to 380,000 Jews in territories under their control.
Reactiile liderilor PSD la uniforma lui Mazare: Nu stim, n-am vazut. Ponta: Domnul Mazare este major si vaccinat si e dreptul dansului cum se imbraca in timpul liber
Vladimir Tismaneanu despre defilarea lui Mazare: O actiune indecenta si sfidatoare
Radu Ioanid, director la Muzeul Holocaustului din Washington despre Mazare: Uniforma in sine este un simbol nazist. Ea a fost abolita dupa razboi de statele succesoare ale celui de al III-lea Reich
