Of all the uniforms in all the world they choose those and then toasted the ideology!

French prosecutors on Wednesday called for a €1,500 (£1,258) fine against a Briton who wore a Nazi uniform and insignia to his stag party at a French ski-resort, attended by Aiden Burley, a Conservative MP.

Mr Burley, MP for Cannock Chase, was sacked as parliamentary private secretary to the Transport Minister after British media published footage of the party and reported that guests had been toasting the memory of Nazi leaders.

Mark Fournier, the stag, was subsequently prosecuted for wearing a Nazi uniform and insignia, which is illegal in France.

A police tribunal in Albertville in the French Alps will deliver its verdict on January 21.

The controversial party took place on December 3, 2011 in a restaurant in Val Thorens, Europe's highest ski resort in the famous Three Valleys range.

Mr Fournier, who was photographed in full SS regalia whilst giving the Nazi salute, initially faced more serious charges including denial of war crimes or crimes against humanity and incitement to racial hatred.

During the drink-filled soirée, one of the guests raised a glass to "the ideology and thought process of the Third Reich".
