By Hannah Roberts PUBLISHED: 17:34 EST, 17 December 2012 | UPDATED: 12:14 EST, 18 December 2012 Punishment: Nurse Stephen Johnson faces being struck off for his treatment of mentally ill patients A senior nurse who goose-stepped around a room of mentally ill patients while performing Nazi salutes faces being struck off. Stephen Johnson put a finger under his nose to represent a Hitler moustache and marched around the NHS care home in Essex like Basil Fawlty in the comedy classic Fawlty Towers. He reduced a patient who suffered from delusions that he was Adolf Hitler to tears. The patient – identified as Patient C – had a strange obsession with Nazi Germany and suffered from hallucinations.
