This is an issue that
is hard to comprehend. I had a "discussion" with my wife on the Heinkle in Arizona, because it flies the swastika. She feels that it is wrong to display it because it gives legitimacy to the Nazi's. I feel it is part of history (although I'm a firm believer that glorifying is bad).
So, it is a hard and difficult issue for some collectors and I don't want to start anything, but lots of feelings run in something like this. I saw the movie, Capt Corelies (sp) Mandolin and it portrayed the Italians in a different light, was very interesting to watch, plus showed some bad Nazis and a good hearted one.
Much like life, you follow orders or be shot, you follow orders and be vilified later (if you lose), if you win, you are the good guys.
Not an easy subject.
