A Kentucky man was forced to apologize after dressing his son in Adolf Hitler and himself dressed in a Nazi soldier costume for a Halloween family photo, Daily mail reported. Brant Goldbach, who wore the uniform of the Waffen-SS, said he regretted dressing his five-year-old child as a German dictator.

The incident, which sparked a lot of excitement on social media, broke out when Goldbach justified the costumes saying his son loved dressing up as "shared historical characters" and called the people who approached her and threatened her at a local tip an event.

However, Goldbach faced negative reactions when people publicly shamed him and called him "racist" and "cowardly" on various social media platforms. Others have also called it ignorant for celebrating Hitler and his SS soldiers. The message was then removed by Goldbach.

You dress your child as a hitler as if you were proud of him, but you did not learn how bad hitler was and you do not want your child to be like him.

I do not have words – just sympathy for the child.
