Nazi Monkeys to Lead World War II Celebrations

The Russian Yekaterinburg circus is to help in the celebrations marking the 60th anniversary of the Soviet victory over Germany in WWII by parading monkeys dressed up as Nazis. "You can not dress a horse like a Nazi" commented the circus director.

Originally, leopards were cast as the Nazis because they were seen as perfectly representative of the National Socialists, but they could not fit the felines into the uniforms.
