    That’s James Jeter playing Martin Bormann. Great character actor who always had small but memorable roles. Died in 2007. He did the little spoken intro at the beginning of the song.

      ​@@FellowHuman137 If you are not trollig ... Why? The band clearly stated, back in the day, how this song were against the moralism which was silencing the horrors of the holocaust in order not to shock the "good citiziens" and in order not to awaken people to question how harmful were other racist empires, such as the UK and the USA, that called themselves democracies...as long as they don't disturbed England, Churchill were friendly to Mussolini and indifferent to Hitler, while being himself a ferocioius racist (in more ways, he considered the indians an inferior race, he considered Italians - like me -an inferior race and he were glad we had M. to oppress us, and he were also antisemite). And he once said one thing, in the WW second aftermath (probably unconsciously speaking also about himself): "the fascists of the future will call themselves antifascists" ...and if you truly reported the video, you perfectly fit the definition, along with the politically correct replicants who, thinking to get discriminated people respected, will make impossible FOR THOSE OF US WHO REALLY CARE TO REALLY DEFEND THEM because, in order to show to the world what a good citizen you are, you will try and censor every dirty word, every angry exclamation, or simply many things said for what they are. For example, i see very little to no politically correct robot defending (say) psychiatric patients, or hard drugs users, as these categories tend to be disliked by the majority, and so you cannot risk loosing approvation for defending the categories that many consider as the untochable caste in India.
      BTW, ANTIFASCIST HERE, not "antifà". ANTITOTALITARIAN 360°, TO BE PRECISE.

      I have always thought that this song is a sarcastic one. And in the mid 1970's the very many of the people who really were in the nazi concentration camps as prisoners (if were not gassed or died from other reasons) or as guards (if were not hanged as war criminals after the war), they were then only about 50 years old or more. I am much older now!

    Here's the big joke on everyone. Martin Bormann was a friend of Biggs. That Martin Bormann was there for the filming of this. He met Steve Jones and Paul Cook. Cook and Jones had to keep this secret and have to this day but they have only told closest friends but word has gotten out about this.

    Well today I learned the vocals on this track were done by an escaped train robber from the UK living in Brazil where he didn't face extradition. He would later return to Britain and spent an additional 8 years in prison (serving 10 of his 30 year sentence).
    Really one hell of a life this Ronnie Biggs had, to quote another accidental tantrik Hunter S. Thompson,
    “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming 'Wow! What a Ride!"
    If nothing else, Ronnie Biggs demonstrated that much and thus lived a full and complete life that we should all aspire to grasp from the jaws of the titans in living our own (while remembering always that all things have their price and the Lady Kali conquerors all in the end).
