Selling a dark past.

[Johnboy60]

Hi, Why would anyone want to buy anything related to Hitler? I think people would want to forget the past more then want to remember the past.

I collect German Daggers of the Third Reich, because they are beautiful examples of the swordmakers art. We must remember the past if we are not to repeat it.....

I don't see anything wrong with it.

There isn't, historical things sell...Third Reich items are popular because its well made, beautiful items. Soviet items from that era are also very interesting.

Trying to forget the past is just a window to allow something as horrific as what Hitler did and stood for to happen again.

As we have already seen in Cambodia, the former Yugoslavia (Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo), Rwanda -- and now Somalia.

Frankly, I'd rather see these items donated to museums, particularly museums which deal with World War II and Halocaust museums, so people can see the catastrophes blind allegiance to charismatic leaders, combined with xenophobia can lead to.

I think it would be very interesting to read Hitler's notes to a speech. By no means does being interested and intrigued in Nazi Germany mean that you sympathize with Hitler's so-called cause.

I'd rather see these items be placed into a museum too, but there's no reason why a person cannot buy them if they are for sale. It's just like a famous work of art; it SHOULD be in a museum but we all know that it doesn't always end up that way.

Think again Robert! If you do not know the value of historical preservation, then I am just beating a dead horse.
