Default History or Glorified Villainy???

An inanimate object such as a kubelwagen, pistol of fin of a luftwaffe airplane should in my opinion be left as is to tell a story the truth. Reenactors parading around like valiant young soldiers of the reich borders on glorification of those we defeated in the name of decency and humanity. Maybe next in the name of fun we can create clandestine klan gatherings and the subsequent lynchings, torture, brutality, and abject inhumanity akin to that omitted by our soldiers of the fatherland. Lets be honest.. I used to tell my wife that my guns had no more attraction to me than my bowling ball. I appreciate the power, history, and the primal feel of discharging projectiles over several hundred feet persecond as well as their aesthetic beauty. Owning a stoeger luger like me is having a replication of an implement albeit an iniquitous one. But dressing up in full garb and playing nazi soldier is repugnant to the core.
