    Collecting it isn't a problem, Judas, it's when you keep trying to get me to join you in invading Poland is where I draw the line.

    I keep telling you, I have no interest in bayoneting babies.

    Have you taken down the big picture of Mein Fuhrer from your front window, as requested by Brighton council. ;)

    No, believing the Nazis were in any way right or thinking they were cool or sexy would deem you a Nazi. If you have a genuine interest in that aspect of history without subscribing to any of its beliefs that is intellectual curiosity. A great many people would find an interest in Nazi memorabilia disrespectful and insulting to the Jewish race so it would be unwise to get enthusiastic about any Nazi stuff publicly.

    As long as you don't goose step down to the pub and push your way to the front of the bar i see no harm in that.I notice that you have stated before that you have German family so it is only natural that you have interest in your countries heritage.Many people collect things.I collect violation notices from Yahoo.

    I had to see the school counselor three times.

    No it just means your intrested in German WW2 miltary.

    I have often wondered about the other side in all the wars we are taught about in school,like what they really went through.

  • i sure hope not, but a person cant help but be interested in the dynamics of one of the scariest times in our history, plus thinking about the mindset of the soldiers and the propaganda that drove them, or the fact they made it as far as they did before anyone even seen it coming

    No. Not unless you consider yourslef a Neonazi. Some people would think you are, though. It's natural, humans find sickening things fascinating.

    Not in the least Judas. I would consider it a healthy historical interest

    No, not any more than having an interest in paintings makes you an artist.
