By Allan Hall PUBLISHED: 17:00, Tue, Oct 6, 2015 | UPDATED: 17:13, Tue, Oct 6, 2015 Star CONSTANTIN FILMOliver Masucci believes there is an increase in racism and intolerance in Germany Oliver Masucci, the actor who plays Hitler in the satirical film 'He's Back' has revealed racist tensions within Germany despite the country portraying the image migrants are welcome. He travelled around the country for a month speaking with "ordinary people" while dressed as the long-dead Fuehrer. Two cameras rolled to capture their sometimes shocking views. He said rather than being shocked about Hitler's policies, the war and the Holocaust, men greeted him and seemed "happy to see me!" He said: "They forgot relatively quickly that the two cameras were running and began to pour their hearts out to this man, to say what was really on their minds." Oliver CONSTANTIN FILM Masucci went around Germany dressed as Hitler They forgot relatively quickly that the two cameras were running and began to pour their hearts out to this man, to say what was really on their minds Oliver Masucci He spoke out a day after mass demonstrations in Germany against the immigration policies of Angela Merkel's government. While Germany is opening its arms to hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing Syria, the country has an underlying anti-Islamic movement called Pegida. The Dresden-based movement has been at the forefront of protests against the massive influx of refugees into Germany in recent months. The group has been dubbed "Pinstripe Nazis" by commentators because it attracts predominantly middle-class people. Mr Masucci said soon after he started shooting the film he saw the rise of Pegida. He added: "That didn't surprise us that they suddenly went into the streets. Because this middle-class that's swinging to the right, we'd already seen all that on camera. "By the end of our filming, our questions had totally changed. How can it be that so many people react so positively to Hitler, accept him like that?" Masucci CONSTANTIN FILM The actor stars in a new satirical film about the Nazi leader He said he and the director of the movie paid an actor to shout anti-Germany slogans among football fans in Berlin during the 2014 World Cup. He was set upon by a violent group and Wnendt had to call security "so that he didn't end up hung from the nearest tree". Mr Masucci added: "We wanted to see if you could escalate something like that, if it works. And sadly it did work."
