A shopper asked to leave a supermarket for dressing in a Nazi uniform has tweeted that he has worn similar items to the store for the past three years.
Paul Dutton, from Cambridge, claimed on Twitter that he was the man escorted from a branch of Asda on Thursday.
But he revealed that this was not the first time he had visited the store in Nazi regalia.
He tweeted: "I wear a black SS armband in Asda twice a week for past three years.
"I've shopped in Asda since the place was opened twice a week. This is how Asda repay me for my loyalty."
He added that he had wanted to hand out cards promoting his website, which explains the reasons for his fascination with Adolf Hitler.
Police were called to a branch of Asda in Cambridge at 2pm yesterday, following reports of a man wearing what resembled a black SS uniform complete with cap and red armband.
The manager of the Beehive Centre store asked the man to leave after complaints from other customers. A police spokeswoman said: "By the time we got there he had already left peacefully."
Rosina Rusin, 60, from Milton, told the Cambridge News: "I was waiting in a queue when a lady came up and she was really quite distressed about it.
"People's mouths were falling open. You are not going to come out like that unless you want to draw attention to yourself."
It had been thought the man was part of a Halloween stunt.
