Hateful Hitler supporter caught out after vile Auschwitz death camp tattoo is spotted while he was swimming in public pools
Marcel Zech, 28, was not shy in celebrating the barbaric atrocities carried out by Adolf Hitler's regime
A SICK neo-Nazi has been jailed after his vile Auschwitz tattoo was revealed to the public while he went swimming.
Marcel Zech was spotted in Germany with a silhouette of the notorious death camp on his back.
The 28-year-old was also seen with the words ";Jedem das seinem" etched on his skin, which translates to: "Everyone gets what he deserves".
Those words were inscribed at the entrance to the Buchenwald concentration camp in Germany.
Zech is a politician with the far-right NPD party, a group which the German government has been unsuccessfully trying to ban for several years.
More than one million Jews were murdered at the Auschwitz death camp, which was located in Nazi-occupied Poland during the war.

Thousands were brutally killed or worked to death at Buchenwald.
Appearing at a court in Brandenburg on Monday, Zech was jailed for eight months for sedition.
Displaying Nazi imagery in public is forbidden under Germany's postwar constitution.
Previously Zech had been sentenced to a six-month suspended jail term, but prosecutors successfully appealed against what they said was a soft sentence.
Jörn Kalbow, the court chairman, said: "A suspended sentence would have been perceived by the population as a retreat from the dangers of right-wing radicalism."
The incident in the public swimming pool took place last year, leaving locals horrified.
Zech has a criminal record for race hate crimes, which includes an incident in June last year when he was ordered to pay €360 after posing as a police officer.
He pretended to be a police officer in a bid to learn the identities of anti-fascist demonstrators who tore down NPD posters in his town.
Before that, a court appearance in 2013 saw him fined €1,300 for assault.
As well as being elected in 2014 as a local councillor in Barnim, Zech also works as a window cleaner.
During his court appearance he wore a Thor Steiner sweat shirt, clothing which is favoured by far-right sympathisers in Europe.
He also appeared to be shocked when he was told he would be going to jail, after which his legal team said they would be appealing the sentence.
