| | Scoop: Rik Mayall Defends Nazi Use In Anti-Euro Film |
 | | In Mayall’s cameo of several seconds he yells ‘Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Euro’, a reference to the Nazi slogan ‘Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Fuehrer’ (one people, one empire, one leader). |
 | | However, in an interview in yesterday’s Sunday Times Mayall said he had always wanted to play the part of the Nazi dictator, and his part playing Hitler endorsing the Euro and one European empire was satirical. |
 | | And I suppose that if the SS were to march in, I'd be in the concentration camp, too, for collaboration simply for marrying Barbara.’ Mayall is well known for his parts in the television series The Young One’s, the New Statesman and Bottom. |
