A group of England fans have been filmed performing Nazi salutes and singing anti-Semitic songs in a bar in Russia.
The video features a group of men in Volgograd, the city where England played Tunisia in the World Cup on Monday night, raising their arms and shouting 'sieg-heil'.
Filmed at the Galleriya Pub, one man sitting at a bar and two more standing are seen to be singing.
The men, who appear to have southern English accents, are singing to the tune of an old Tottenham Hotspur song called Ossie's Dream, which had the lyrics, "We're on our way to Wembley".
In the video, which was shared by Bryan MacDonald, and Irish journalist based in Russia, the men singing have changed the lyrics to, "We're on the way to Auschwitz".

It is the major first incident involving England fans to make headlines this summer.
There were concerns heading into the tournament about safety of supporters travelling because of the trouble at Euro 2016.
But so far, no violent scenes have been documented.
Reacting to the video on Twitter, England fans slammed the action of supporters.
One said: "No place in football for idiots like that. Total morons."
Another branded the actions "disgusting" and another described it as a "shame".
England secured a 2-1 victory over Tunisia in Volgograd, scoring in stoppage time for the win.
It was the Three Lions' first game since arriving in Russia, with the second against Panama in Nizhny Novgorod taking place on Sunday afternoon.
