The outfit included a swastika-like emblem made of two crossed hammers – iconography that also appeared on costumes in the 1982 film starring rock star turned campaigner Bob Geldof. The costume worn by Waters “is deemed capable of violating the dignity of the victims, as well as approving, glorifying or justifying the violent and arbitrary rule of the Nazi regime in a way that disrupts public peace,” a police spokesperson said..Other German cities including Munich, Frankfurt and Cologne tried to cancel Waters’ concerts after Jewish groups including the Central Council of Jews accused him of anti-Semitism.
