<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 137215, member: 54"]Remember Nazi technically refers to the National Socialist Party in Germany. I've bought and sold many WWII German military items which I don't consider "Nazi" items. Political items, banners, Hitler busts etc. can properly be called Nazi items. Not everyone in Germany during WWII was a Nazi party member. Anything with a prominent swastika, Hitler image, etc. on it is going to offend Jewish folks and many others and it is fine with me if local authorities take action to prevent their citizens from suffering mentally. Kind of like there's nothing patently harmful when people walk around in public unclothed, but it bothers enough people mentally that authorities respond and in fact in most places have laws prohibiting public nudity. WWII military equipment from any of the combatant countries is a part of history and any government would need a very good reason to persecute owners or vendors of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coming up on Springopedia: Nude Nazis[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
