[QUOTE="JBK, post: 35381, member: 1101"]I live in Germany, too, and here in Munich you won't find anything resembling a swastika on display. The closest we come to (that I have seen) is a the former Luftwaffe HQ with German Helmets carved in stone all arounf the top floor on the facade of the building - there are small holes on them - probably there were flags or swastiksa as one time. I wonder if that house in your town had those symbols before the 1930s? I am surprised it escaped the de-Nazification after the war. The Allies were pretty strict on that stuff in general. Antique and coin dealers do sell pre-1946 items with it, but I am pretty sure the manufacture of Nazi era designs is illegal. Probably there are exemptions for theater, movies, eductaion, etc., but I am pretty sure you can't make Nazi flags and sell them to the general public. You would know better than me, though, since you might have grown up with the rules grilled into you. Originals are legal for sure, though (contrary to what eBay says). An interesting thing about the Hitler name. I knew it did not exist, but I wasn't use if it was illegal. Although, I think if you wanted to change your name to Hitler you might get turned down by the court.[/QUOTE]
