The conversion of Winston Churchill’s former home into the swastika-draped headquarters of Adolf Hitler for a Transformers movie has been denounced by veterans’ groups and former military commanders.

Blenheim Palace in Woodstock, Oxfordshire, has been reimagined as the headquarters of the Nazi leader in The Last Knight, the fifth Transformers film, which is currently shooting.

The set-dressing includes enormous swastika flags, a variety of German military equipment and SS stormtroopers filling the forecourt.

“I know it’s a film,” Col Richard Kemp, the former commander of British forces in Afghanistan, told the Sun. “But it’s symbolically disrespectful to Churchill. He will be turning in his grave.”

1. Assuming this isn't happening for free, Churchill liked to get paid.

2. As well it should

the filmmaker wants to use a location, they should pay for it's use. I think this could have or was addressed in the contract for it's use. If not, then there is probably a discussion that needs to take place.
