Sharing with you, an original Kriegsmarine sailor's cap that I received some days ago.
Sadly, the original owner of the cap, died in 2011.

Enjoy the photos !

Awesome!

You can buy very nice replicas, but there's always something special about the real thing.

Thats' so true, Steve.

You wear a hat with "swastika"?

I do not approve.

Who says he/she is wearing it.. it's part of history, just like museum items with that symbol.

The 'swastika', or irregular isosagon, has been used by many people all over the globe for thousands of years. Just because in 1920 some jumped-up little Austrian twerp hijacked it doesn't mean he has the rights forever. To live in hate, or fear, of it is surely letting said twerp win?

Edit: and actually Hitler's own version is specifically red flag, white disc, and black hakenkruez. Read Mein Kampf for details.

Exactly.

Covering the swastika, will in my opinion be to deny the history.
That symbol was, and will always be, a part of something that will hopefully never happen again.

Survivors of WW2 says: "We must never forget".

This means, that we should approve it.

Just imagine if the gay scene had taken it on instead of a rainbow!
