    I don’t want to nitpick but plenty of historical gun owners love both sides weaponry and display both. Personally, I know a friend that owns a STG 44 and a ppsh and a tommy.

      Collecting multiple kinds of guns is a bit different than collecting all of the other things that are clearly nazi branded propaganda. Having one or two guns isn’t really collecting in the same way as having a bunch of nazi branded everyday use items with the red black and white swastika flag.

        I’m not disagreeing that was my point. However the people who are in that hobby normally get other kit than just guns. What matters is how it’s displayed.

            Anyone displaying a swatstika anything that’s a reproduction or new production item needs to get their head checked IMHO. I’m only ok with actual historic pieces from the era.
