I do not understand why many people still take offense of the word 'Nazi' or items relating to that political entity which ended over 50 years ago? I am a German national born 20 years after the war who has no affiliation with the Nazi party or its actions, but that era could be interesting from a historical and collecting point of view. Unfortunately, we cannot change the past, but we might be able to learn from it. It is time to turn that chapter and improve the future of the world as a whole in the new century. Besides mentioning only one terrible regime, we should not forget the millions of people who Stalin and other dicators have murdered. I assume that Stalin's brutal actions did not directly impact the US and its allies and, therefore, it is rarely mentioned today or labelled as offensive. It is hard to hide feelings or hate, but continued negative reactions do not improve situations.
Just a view I wanted to express without any offense intended.
