HOW pathetic that the North Yorkshire Moors Railway has decided to stop having people dressed up as German soldiers in its annual Railway in Wartime event (Echo, Apr 6).

This must be another example of political correctness gone mad.

My father and his four brothers fought in the Second World War, and two of them died.

If I have no objection to this harmless show, why should anyone else?
