A group of young far-right supporters have shocked Austria by wearing pro-Nazi T-shirts and giving the Hitler salute during a visit to a death camp where 120,000 people were murdered.

The skinhead group from the town of Wels posted photographs of themselves on the Internet wearing the shirts at the site of the Mauthausen camp where tens of thousands of people were gassed, worked to death or killed in hideous medical experiments.

Perhaps the sickest picture of all shows three of the shaven-headed thugs giving the Hitler salute outside the entrance to the gas chambers.
