This is the latest racist graffiti to go up in Sandy Row in South Belfast, the scene of some of the most serious hate crimes in the North in recent years.
The Nazi slogans come after a recent drop in the number racially motivated attacks in the area and will be seen as an attempt to re-ignite racial division in the troubled loyalist area.
A leading local loyalist denied any paramilitary involvement and vowed to have the graffiti removed as soon as possible. And Colin Halliday of the UDA-linked Ulster Political Research Group (UPRG) added that very few in the loyalist stronghold would support such sentiments.
"This is not something that we would be encouraging. Our fathers and grandfathers fought the Nazis for our freedom so I imagine that this would be quite offensive to a lot of folk."
Mr Halliday also paid tribute to the "great advances" that have been made recently in relations with members of ethnic communities living in Sandy Row and the Village.
"We have gone out of our way to build bridges with ethnic minorities and approach them and explain that we had no hostility. We don't need this kind of thing here now."
The former loyalist prisoner confirmed that he would ensure that the racist graffiti would be removed at the first opportunity.
"I am going to make a phone call tomorrow (Monday) and see to it that it's removed. Nobody needs it.
"I know it's probably young people. There's a fascination with the whole Nazi thing amongst some of them here. But I want to make it clear that we do not welcome such graffiti here in Sandy Row."
The graffiti is the latest in a sustained and ongoing racist campaign orchestrated by far right groups, many of whom have close associations with loyalist paramilitary groups. Last year stickers and flyers from the White Nationalist Party were delivered throughout the area and coincided with an increase on attacks on ethnic minorities living there. South Belfast MLA Alex Maskey described this most recent action by local racists as "despicable".
"This is absolutely unacceptable. Unfortunately there are still people in society who hold these views.
"In light of the recent quiet in the area this is all the more worrying.
"I would trust that in good faith the local community would take the graffiti down immediately. I'm sure it won't be accepted by most decent-minded people," he said.
