During the caravanning holiday, when James walks away to find some breakfast, he says to Clarckson:
"Remember, work sets you free." This is a direct reference to "Arbeit macht frei" the phrase which was on the gates of deathcamp Auschwitz.
Referring to a war, I can live with that. Referring to the Holocaust is a different matter altogether.
Normally I don't mind WW2 related jokes or references, but I personally felt that this was TOO much.
Many (Jewish) people will find this offensive. I think of it as a misplaced, not thought through remark.
