PICTURES: Shock as Doncaster Racecourse invaded by Nazis and covered in swastikas for filming shoot
The infamous banners were plastered across Town Moor early this morning - but don't worry, the decorations are props for the filming of a new movie based around the 1936 Olympics in Berlin.
Meanwhile, scores of actors have been parading around in full Nazi costume and regalia throughout the day for the film shoot.

Hide AdCamera crews are understood to be capturing scenes for Gold, a Bollywood feature film about India's first ever Olympic medal.
Scenes have already been shot at York City’s Bootham Crescent ground, which doubled up as Berlin's Olympic Stadium more than 80 years ago.
The movie, directed by Reema Kagti, stars Bollywood star Akshay Kumar.
According to online movie database IMDB, the film is set in 1948, and tells the historic story of India’s first Olympic medal post independence.

Filming has also taken place at Dalton Mill in Keighley, and the Yorkshire scenes are reportedly part of a short sequence looking back to the Berlin Olympics a decade before.
Bradford Film Office spokesman David Wilson said: “Gold is quite a big production, with about 2,000 extras from across Yorkshire filming between now and August.
“It’s a different approach to Bollywood. It’s trying to recreate that world of 1948."
