Former paratroopers sue army over 'years of racism from soldiers'

Barracks decorated with Nazi and Confederate flags claims ex-soldier at tribunal

A black former paratrooper has said he and a colleague had to endure years of racism in his army unit, with fellow soldiers decorating the barracks they shared with Nazi flags and pictures of Adolf Hitler.

Racial slurs and racist language were also regularly used by colleagues in 3 Para, according to Hani Gue, who is bringing a discrimination claim against the Ministry of Defence (MoD) at an employment tribunal in central London.
