Formula One boss Max Mosely has been humiliated by tabloid newspaper revelations about a Nazi-themed S&M sex orgy he took part in with several prostitutes.
The News of the World has published explicit images and their website is hosting clips from a video of Mosely beating and being beaten by the prostitutes, then engaging in sex acts with them.
But it is the Nazi overtones of the session that have caught the headlines: some of the women involved wear Third Reich paraphernalia and Mosely is heard to speak in German during the session.
Roleplay also takes on sinister tones, with Mosely's hair and pubic area inspected for lice in the same manner as Jews were processed when they entered German concentration camps while one of the prostitutes wears the black-and-white-striped uniforms of the condemned.
The scenario has extra poignance because of Mosely family history: his father Oswald was a famous fascist and Nazi sympathiser who organised his own army of blackshirts to terrorise Jews in London's East End in the 1930s.
His mother was a Holocaust denier and admirer of Hitler while one of her sisters attempted suicide after writing to Adolf Hitler when Britain declared war on Germany in 1939.
Mosely was involved in right-wing politics as a young man — at one stage helping his father establish the short-lived Union Movement, a political organisation said to have fascist links — but chose to pursue motorsport after being introduced to it by his wife of 48 years, Jean.
