This is the best summary I could come up with:
A Tory student group has apologised after a video reportedly showed its members singing and dancing to a Nazi marching song.
The clip, taken at a chairman’s dinner at the University of Warwick Conservatives Association two weeks ago, shows people singing Erika - a song that was used by the armed forces of Nazi Germany.
The Sunday Times, which obtained the footage, said it shows several members of the association dancing and laughing as the song plays on the sound system.
In a statement, the University of Warwick Conservatives Association said it “wholeheartedly condemns the behaviour exhibited during this video and apologises for any offence that has been caused”.
“Our members have also worked hard to ensure the Students Union commemorates Holocaust Memorial Day in a fitting way,” it added.
“There is no place for racism in the Conservative Party and we will always ensure appropriate action is taken against any member who acts in ways that are not in accordance with our values of tolerance and respect,” the spokesperson added.
