Oliver Masucci, the actor who plays Hitler in the satirical film 'He's Back' has revealed racist tensions within Germany despite the country portraying the image migrants are welcome.

He travelled around the country for a month speaking with "ordinary people" while dressed as the long-dead Fuehrer. Two cameras rolled to capture their sometimes shocking views.

He said rather than being shocked about Hitler's policies, the war and the Holocaust, men greeted him and seemed "happy to see me!"

He said: "They forgot relatively quickly that the two cameras were running and began to pour their hearts out to this man, to say what was really on their minds."
