I agree guys,

When I said the swastika is a hated symbol, I was referring to the common perception of it, not my own views.

I've noticed that models of German airplanes no longer include the swastika tail fin decal as they did when I built them as a kid. That's absurd! If buy one of these models, I'll have to paint the swastikas on to make it authentic.

I did a "show and tell" of W.W. II memorabilia at a local elementary school today. When I asked the kids if they knew who created the swastika, they all responded it was Hitler, many of them referring to it as the "Nazi sign." They were surprised when I told them the history of it, and that it was once the symbol of our own 45th Infantry Division.
