Reactions from others
Hi capkid,
A couple years ago we had a B-17 and a Henkle 111 from the Confederate Air Froce land at our airport. Since my primary interest in WWII is in the European air war, I had to go drool over these two historic aircraft.
As always, they had a "souvenir" shop set up next to the planes. One of the items was a beautiful black T shirt with the Henkle on the back. I had to have it.
Later I wore it out in public and was made to feel very uncomfortable by the stares of others. No one said anything to me but I was aware of the whispers going on behind my back. When I got home I examined the shirt more closely and found what I assumed was causing the stir. The Henkle had the swastika boldly displayed on the vertical stabilizer.
Since then it has been stored away in the bottom of my T shirt drawer.

PS I still love the shirt, just don't want to cause anyone discomfort.
