Washington, June 16 Troubled singer Pete Doherty has lashed out at the hounding paparazzi, and has compared them to concentration camp guards during World War II.

The 30-year-old musician has been under constant media scrutiny ever since he began dating supermodel Kate Moss in 2005.

The Babyshambles frontman has become so sick of snappers stalking him that he has likened them to officers who assisted in the Holocaust in Nazi Germany.

"Even the people who were shovelling bodies into the gas chambers would just say they were just obeying orders," Contactmusic quoted Doherty as telling BBC documentary investigating privacy issues.

"If your actions as individuals are directly having a negative effect on someone else's life you can't say 'I'm doing my job'. You're not just doing your job, you're doing your job and f***ing up someone else's head," he added. (ANI)
