I seem to remember / recall that the WW2 german army vets had to get "de nazi fied" medals -- not swastaki 's or nazi symbols allowed on them to be able to wear them publicly ----that was done postwar was done to "prevent" a nazi underground or "rebirth" of the "party" --- while the swastaki / nazi symbols were outlawed ( banned as symbols of hatred )--- maybe some folks today tend over look it. --more so than they in the past . ---when the war memory's were "fresh"
no I do not collect nazi items -- I do have a few coins from the nazi war era -- I got in a grab bag type thing once .
Oh I 'm sure there are "laws" in the USA on the books from 150 years ago that forbid the flying of "rebel flags" -- today no one thinks about it at all --but 150 years ago --you would been arrested and taken "downtown" ---- time dulls folks reactions --- the WW2 vets are all dying off --even a 13 year old "hitler boy" soldier used at the end of the war --64 years ago would be 77 years old these days if hes still alive that is.
