Nazi Flags To Flow From Belfast City Hall?

It is quite possible that one of mankind's most hated symbols will find a home on top of city hall in Belfast--if you can believe it. But it is not what it seems.....

The swastikas will fly if a proposal to use the building as a set for a new drama about Nazi Germany is approved, according to a report in The Belfast Telegraph.

"The producers of the film, which will see Doctor Who actor Matt Smith playing the lead, are also hoping to use the civic centre's internal courtyard to recreate one of the infamous book burning episodes of the era," the report said.

The 90-minute feature, written by acclaimed playwright Kevin Elyot, will tell the story of English novelist Christopher Isherwood (Smith) who lived in Berlin in the pre-war period.
