A man from Kentucky was forced to apologise after he dressed up his son as Adolf Hitler and himself wore a Nazi soldier costume for a Halloween family photo, Daily Mail reported. Brant Goldbach, who was wearing a Waffen-SS uniform, said that he regrets dressing up his five-year-old as the German dictator.

The incident, which created quite a buzz on social media, blew up when Goldbach justified the costumes by saying that his son loved dressing up as ‘historical figures shared’ and called out those people who approached him and threatened him during a local trick or treat event.
However, Goldbach faced backlash when people publicly shamed him and called him a “racist” and a “coward” on various social media platforms. Others also called him ignorant for celebrating Hitler and SS soldiers. The post was later deleted by Goldbach.
