Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s official Twitter account posted a photo Tuesday that appears to show men in German World War II uniforms beneath an American flag instead of American troops.
The image, showing Trump’s face and an American flag, as well as an image of marching soldiers, says “We need real leadership. We need results. Let’s put the U.S. back into business!”

University of North Texas Professor Robert Citino, an expert on German military history, confirmed to CNN that the photo included German uniforms as “Waffen-SS,” a Nazi unit.
In a statement, a Trump spokesman blamed a “young intern” for the mistake.
