Not sure, but after reading hellas1's post's, I can't help but get the feeling that he'd really get bent out of shape if we had pics with a Swastika on it, claiming that it is a hateful symbol and it should not be used because it "may" offend someone here.

What may not seem appropriate today, does not change the fact that it was still part of history. It was this thinking that caused Sim Developers to not use the historic symbol on German WW2 aircraft (without a MOD or patch) cough..UBI..cough.

Same thinking caused museums to paint over the Swastika on historic aircraft.

Again, my point is, just because it may not be acceptable now, does not change the fact that it's historic. As long as the pin ups and even the Swastika are used in the proper context for the time period, I'm 100% in favor of them in Sims.
