Nazi symbols and "immersion": boundaries?

I've been thinking on this all day and I'll agree, as a sig, it's at least in bad taste. But I also wonder if Germany outlawing it's use is wrongheaded? Yes, the nation would love to live it down and make it go away, but it also did really happen and nothing can take that away. It seems to amount to covering your eyes with your hands and declaring it gone. In any case, why not let the current nazi's use it? It makes them easy to spot and they're still all over the place, at least in the USA.

Now correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the rising sun flag the Japanese maritime flag, and still in use today? I recall seeing it recently flying on the stern of a ship in a documentary about finding a sunken I-400.
