I know a few people who collect Nazi memorabilia. They're collectors, not Nazis.

They're period pieces. If someone is interested in the era that these black figures come from, I don't see that it necessarily makes them racist to want to own them. Wouldn't want them in my house though.

An antique shop selling outdated things - whatever next?!

may have been a job lot at auction, the auction house often stick items together or it could have been in a box of odds from a dead persons estate, the shop owner could have bought the box because it had a vase in it he liked - you cnat just win tjhe lot and hand pick the vase out you have to take the box

Hmmmm if they collect general WW2 memorabilia then that's different, or even German military memorabilia. If they SPECIFICALLY collect Nazi-related items I'd have some questions tbqfh, as I'd be tempted to say that's an "enthusiast" not a collector.

Likewise with some of the items in this thread (the Alabama one for instance), if someone wanted it as part of a collection of American / colonial items then that seems reasonable. If they simply have a massive collection of black caricatures, gollywogs and pictures of people with blackface... well... there's something else going on there isn't there.

If i went to my local auction tomorrow with a German Luger, bayonette and a few medals Id have my hand bitten off for them in the car park with wads of folding being pressed into my hand.

Lots of collectors

All of which is German military memorabilia LT... not Nazi. I'm going to assume you know that there's a difference.

I do and if it has a swastika or an SS emblem then the demand goes up.

Twosugars 12-11-2018 05:01 PM

y'know who I feel especially sorry for? straight white male bigots ;)
they're not allowed to feel superior to people of colour, homosexuals, women..
I mean they're running out of people they can feel superior to by the mere fact they're born straight, white and male
no wonder they're bitter :D
