OK, that's enough. Now, what part of the rest of your posts should anyone give credence to? Logic does not work on reality. It is or is not. In this case it is not necessary for a flag to be in a recruitment poster.
Also note that although the Luftwaffe poster has small swastikas on it, they are not the focus of the poster ,proclaiming "OUR Luftwaffe." Joining the Luftwaffe is defending home and hearth: your family, is what this poster is saying. In that context I personally don't have a problem with the swastikas there. Others might.
Also you ignore the fact that the Nazi emblem and flag are not the national flag and emblem of Germany, but a party symbol and flag. The Nazi flag is not the same as the Japanese flag or American flag or British flag. Yes, the Nazis sought to establish an equivalency there, but repeating a lie often enough does not make it true.
Naziism was a disease. The nationality was afflicted by the disease but did not become the disease. They are now cured. |
The swastika was the flag of Germany for many years, that cannot be disputed. For those who grew up in the third reich, that was their flag and they used it during the thirties and half of the forties. I don't need you to give credence to anything I post, because you have already proved to be highly excitable and prone to inciting drama by this ridiculous thread and the derailment of the other. I posted my opinion, that there are bigger things to worry about then the old symbols of WWII. We are all men here and within the confines of a u-boat game , a realistic swastika does not make me piss myself. As an American who believes in common sense, lets leave the thought crime laws to the rest of the world.
