<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hookman, post: 4058413, member: 99642&quot;][USER=104486]@Chuck_A[/USER]&nbsp; &nbsp; Please post something, anything, that shows German Nazis using a representation of a Thunderbird as a representation of their Imperial Eagle.</p><p>While you&#039;re at it, Chuck, please post some examples of the Iron Front using Indian-type arrows, with feathers, as their symbol. </p><p><br /></p><p>Chuck, are you reading what TylerH is writing? He has actually discussed these symbols with a MUSEUM DIRECTOR. </p><p>Chuck, can you say the same?</p><p><br /></p><p>This is what a Museum Director told TylerH : &quot; .....the director of the 45th infantry museum also stated that arrows, the swastica and the thunderbird were all symbols of the 45th as well, and that it was tradition that Native American members of that division wore coins as good luck charms. &quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Chuck, as for as &quot;Do your own research.&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp; Have you read this thread from the beginning? Haven&#039;t you noticed all of the research I <i>have</i> done, and posted?</p><p><br /></p><p>Chuck, I&#039;m assuming the &quot;160+&quot; is referring to your IQ? Welcome to the party. I took a series of 6 IQ tests and my low was 126, my high was 159, and my average was 146. No +. I took those tests at age 53. How old were you when you scored 160, Chuck?</p><p><br /></p><p>Chuck, and this is for S86 also, none of this is about proving who is more intelligent, and none of this is an insult. When I say &quot;otherwise intelligent people&quot; it&#039;s because I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE INTELLIGENT. I just don&#039;t understand how you guys, WHO ARE INTELLIGENT, could,&nbsp; and did, devolve the markings on this coin down into some kind of Nazi Conspiracy.</p><p>Basically, Chuck, you guys who think this coin is all about Nazis are putting wayyyyy too much emphasis on the year of the coin (1939) and on the Swastika, which isn&#039;t even a Swastika anyway. It&#039;s a Sauwastika , which is both an ancient religious symbol and a good luck symbol.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would be willing to bet that if the Sauwastika was not on this coin, if it were just the arrow and the Thunderbird,&nbsp; then none of you would have brought up any such Nazi Symbolism.</p><p><br /></p><p>Be that as it may, I&#039;m outta here for tonight. I&#039;m off to &quot;do my research&quot; on the 45th Infantry.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for your inspiration [USER=97181]@TylerH[/USER][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
