Nazis have always fascinated Jesse James, says dad

Jesse James' father Larry says his son has always had a fascination with Nazis.

The world may have been shocked when snaps of the former Monster Garage host, 41, came to light but not daddy Larry.

"I don't ever recall my son dressing like that, but he did have a fascination with the Nazis," the New York Daily News quoted Larry as telling TMZ.com.

He added: "He liked the war machines, he liked their uniforms, he liked their guns, he liked everything about them."

According to Larry, Jesse had been fascinated with the Neo-Nazi movement right from his childhood and his interest grew more after he met one of Larry's friends who was a Nazi.

After meeting the blond haired and blue-eyed Nazi, Jesse is believed to have said: "There's a perfect example for the master race."

Larry recalled: "[Jesse] started getting really interested in it so I destroyed all of the information that I had been given and didn't let him pursue it any further."
