 Brand said Hugo Boss 'made the Nazis look f****** fantastic' and goose-stepped onstage 
 
 Comedian Russell Brand was allegedly ejected from the GQ Men Of The Year Awards after-show party after he made jibes onstage about the event's sponsors Hugo Boss - and its historical links to the Nazis. 
 
 The comic, who picked up a gong at the GQ Men of the Year Awards, criticised the German fashion firm, who sponsored the show, for making uniforms for Hitler's regime. 
 
 The wild bunch: Rita Ora, Noel Gallagher and Russell Brand caught up at the after-party before he was allegedly asked to leave by the event's organisers 
 
 Brand took to the stage after Boris Johnson who received GQ magazine’s award for Politician of the Year at Tuesday night's event at the Royal Opera House in London.

 And after the mayor made jokes regarding the recent chemical attacks and subsequent deaths in Syria, Brand said: 'Glad to grace the stage where Boris Johnson has just made light of the use of chemical weapons in Syria,' during his acceptance speech for the Oracle award. 
 
 
 
 'Meaning that GQ can now stand for genocide quips. 
 
 'I mention that only to make the next comment a bit lighter because if any of you know a little bit about history and fashion, you'll know Hugo Boss made the uniforms for the Nazis,' he added. 
 
 'But they did look f****** fantastic, lets face it, while they were killing people on the basis of their religion and sexuality." 
 
 Brand, who ended his speech by telling Noel Gallagher, another of the winners on the night, "Good luck getting more offensive than that, son", was then according to The Sun kicked out of the aftershow party in central London. 
 
 
 
 A spokesman for GQ declined to comment on the claims when contacted. 
 
 Brand was seen chatting to Noel Gallagher and Rita Ora at the party, but he looked unnerved after taking a few photos with fans, and then made a swift exit accompanied by his security guard.

 Brand took to Twitter to tell his fans about an exchange he said he had with Jones 
 
 The comic took to Twitter to tell his fans about an exchange he said he had with the magazine's editor Dylan Jones, writing: 'GQ editor: What you did was very offensive to Hugo Boss. 
 
 'Me: What Hugo Boss did was very offensive to the Jews', which was accompanied by the hashtag '#nazitailor'. 
 
 
 
 The fashion firm backed the event to the tune of £250,000, and would no doubt have been left reeling by Brand's tirade which included him putting a finger under his nose to mimic Hitler's moustache and goose-stepping on stage. 
 
 It isn't the first time Brand has run into trouble at the annual bash. In 2006 he was involved in a row with Rod Stewart after telling guests at the event he had slept with his daughter Kimberly. 
 
 In 1999, GQ editor James Brown resigned after the magazine published a list of of the 200 most stylish men of the 20th century, which included the Nazis and Field Marshal Rommel alongside Humphrey Bogart and John F Kennedy.

 Off colour: Rob Brydon joked about Stephen Fry's suicide attempt 
 
 The event at the Royal Opera House, in Covent Garden, central London, was hosted by comic Rob Brydon who led from the front with an off colour remark about Stephen Fry. 
 
 Brydon reduced the audience to stunned silence when he joked bipolar Stephen Fry could not be 'left alone with vodka and pills', which comes after the actor and writer's admission that he tried to commit suicide last year. 
 
 Writer of the Year winner, Charles Moore took aim at Brand when took to the stage to collect his award. 
 
 
 
 He reminded the audience of the BBC scandal Brand resigned from Radio 2 over - Sachsgate. 
 
 
 
 Moore refused to pay his license fee in 2009 in protest over the affair, in which Brand, egged on by Jonathan Ross, left inappropriate messages on the voicemail of Fawlty Towers actor Andrew Sachs about his granddaughter. 
 
 
 
 The writer compared Brand's persecution of Sachs to that of the Nazis persecution of Sachs' forefathers. 
 
 
 
 Meanwhile Noel Gallagher criticised Foreign Secretary William Hague, who presented an award, for being 'here with all the s**t going on around the world you should be sorting out'. ||||| Hugo Boss apologises for founder's Nazi past 
 
 German fashion house Hugo Boss has apologised for its Nazi connections as details of the strength of its support for the Third Reich emerge in a new biography of the company. 
 
 BY Fiona Govan | 21 September 2011 
 
 Designer Hugo Boss won the contract to supply Nazi forces with their uniforms. 
 
 After the war he argued that he had supported Hitler "to save the company" rather than because of any National Socialism ideology, but new research shows that he was in fact a loyal Nazi. 
 
 A new book publishes records that show that during the second world war the company used 140 forced workers kidnapped by the Gestapo from Poland. 
 
 At its clothes factory based in Metzingen, Baden-Wurttemberg the work force also included 40 French prisoners of war in its production of Wehrmacht uniforms. 
 
 "It is clear that Hugo F Boss did not only join the party because it led to contracts for uniform production, but also because he was a follower of National Socialism," wrote Roman Koester, an economic historian at the Bundeswehr University in Munich in his book Hugo Boss, 1924-1945. 
 
 One of the company's first big contracts was to supply brown shirts to the early Nazi party. 
 
 By 1938, the firm was producing army uniforms, eventually manufacturing for the Waffen SS too. 
 
 From April 1940, Hugo Boss was using forced labourers, mostly women. 
 
 The company said on its website it wished to "express its profound regret to those who suffered harm or hardship at the factory run by Hugo Ferdinand Boss under National Socialist rule". 
 
 After the war Boss was tried and fined for his involvement in Nazi structures. ||||| Image caption Hugo Boss supplied uniforms to both the party and armed forces 
 
 The German fashion firm Hugo Boss has apologised for its maltreatment of forced workers during World War II when it supplied the Nazis with uniforms. 
 
 It issued the apology to coincide with the publication of a new history of the company during the Hitler years, which it commissioned itself. 
 
 Its factory used 140 Polish and 40 French forced workers. 
 
 The book concludes that company founder Hugo Boss, whose past is already well documented, was a loyal Nazi. 
 
 "It is clear that Hugo F Boss did not only join the party because it led to contracts for uniform production, but also because he was a follower of National Socialism," wrote the author, Roman Koester, an economic historian at the Bundeswehr (English: Federal Defence Force) University in Munich. 
 
 Both Mr Koester and the company insist that it had no influence over the contents of the book, although it provided the funding. 
 
 Brown shirts 
 
 Under the tile Hugo Boss, 1924-1945, the book recounts the history of the man who founded a clothes factory in Metzingen, Baden-Wuerttemberg in 1924. 
 
 One of his first big contracts was to supply brown shirts to the early Nazi party. 
 
 After the war Boss, who died in 1948, sought to argue that he had joined the party in order to save his company. 
 
 "That may have been the case, but one may not interpret Hugo F Boss' remarks to mean that he was personally far from National Socialism," said Mr Koester, his words quoted by The Local Germany news website. 
 
 "That was certainly not the case." 
 
 By 1938, the firm was producing army uniforms, and eventually it manufactured for the Waffen SS too - though it did not, apparently, design the SS uniform. 
 
 From April 1940, Hugo Boss was using forced labourers, mostly women. 
 
 A camp was built in the area of the factory to house the workers and, according to the abridged English version of Mr Koester's report, "hygiene levels and food supplies were extremely uncertain at times". 
 
 Mr Koester notes that Boss tried to improve conditions in 1944, a year before the war ended, by asking to house his workers himself, and attempting to improve their food situation. 
 
 "We can only repeat that the behaviour towards the forced labourers was at times harsh and involved coercion, but that concern for their welfare was also displayed, rendering simplistic characterisations impossible," he writes. 
 
 The company said on its website it wished to "express its profound regret to those who suffered harm or hardship at the factory run by Hugo Ferdinand Boss under National Socialist rule". 
 
 After the war Boss was tried and fined for his involvement in Nazi structures.
– Tip for Russell Brand: When accepting an award, maybe don't joke about the award show sponsor's Nazi ties. The comedian was accepting the Oracle Award at the British GQ Men of the Year Awards in London last week when he made this comment about fashion label Hugo Boss, which was sponsoring the event: "If any of you know a little bit about history and fashion, you'll know that Hugo Boss made the uniforms for the Nazis. The Nazis did have flaws, but, you know, they did look f---ing fantastic, let's face it, while they were killing people on the basis of their religion and sexuality." Later, he added, "We're selling a lot of these ... they're flying off the shelves!" and goose-stepped while doing a Nazi salute. The Sun reports Brand was booted from the after-party over the joke, and the Daily Mail says the comedian later elaborated on Twitter: "GQ editor: 'What you did was very offensive to Hugo Boss.' Me: 'What Hugo Boss did was very offensive to the Jews.' #GQAwards #nazitailor." Gawker posted video of Brand's speech today.
