A school charity today promised to crack down on car boot sellers after Nazi memorabilia was put up for sale during a fundraising day.

Parents at Chiswick School spotted the items at a car boot sale on November 6. The sale is held on the first Sunday of each month to raise money for the academy’s Parent Teacher Association.

A woman photographed the items, which included decorative objects adorned with swastikas and German World War Two military medals.

Among the images she posted on Facebook was a plaque with the words “Deutsche Arbeitsfront” and the Nazi emblem printed on a white background.

The German Labour Front was set up by Hitler to replace trade unions during his rise to power.

Another photograph showed a Blood Order medal which was handed out by the Nazi government to participants in the 1923 Munich Putsch, a failed coup attempt by Hitler, and to commemorate loyal party members.

The stall also appears to show a Nazi Waffen-SS proficiency medal handed out to members of the brutal armed wing of the Nazi party.

The woman who took the photographs posted: “Local car boot today highlighted disturbing trend for Third Reich ephemera. Sign of the times?”

The PTA receives income from the entrance fee and sellers keep the profits. The sale takes place in the school grounds in Burlington Lane, in the car park and school playing fields.

A PTA spokeswoman said the stall and its seller were not known to the organisers and the charity would ban such items from sale in the future.

She added: “A seller has contacted us to report the stall. This stall is unknown to us and as reported, would certainly be inappropriate for any car boot, school-based or not.

We have never encountered this before and will be amending our website and flyers to reflect our views. I have informed the lady who raised the issue that this is the action that we would be taking.”
