German air museums paint out the swastika because it's illegal to display

it's changed.

the reunification changed nothing in this respect.

Virtually none of those people are alive today to be reminded, and
their children are taught none of it, anyway.

Wrong.
Millions of both victims and perpetrators are still alive. I have seen
current interviews of German soldiers and citizens who were directly
involved in horrible acts who have no remorse whatsoever. They still live
good lives while their victims died eons ago. I'm not talking about one or
two ringleaders hiding out in argentina, I'm talking about throngs of 'men'
who still live in Germany enjoying life's good things who performed inhumane
and cruel acts of all types..

There are still rape victims alive today. There are still orphans, amputees,
and millions of other victims alive today.

I know, this is all off topic... keep the beer logo anyway.

NO, these are the guys who insanely tried to hide the Enola Gay because it
dropped a - gulp - atomic bomb.

Legislators Protest Beer Logos on Museum Exhibit

Just weeks before the opening of the Smithsonian's new aviation
museum, 20 House members have asked the Smithsonian to remove beer
logos from a historic aerobatics plane.


Are these the same yahoos who, in an insanely patriotic (or just insane)
moment, changed the names of French Fries to Freedom Fries?

Championship, deserved to be in the museum. However, they said the Bud

Aaah, the good 'ol "Will someone think of the children, please?" gambit.
If the plane had the Bud Light ad when it was making history, it
should retain them.

And I wonder: how do German air museums handle this little problem of
the swastika or hakenkruez? Nazi symbols carry more baggage in that
country than they do in the U.S. For example, the Bodenweiler(?) March
is banned in Germany but not in the U.S.

In the Airship museum at Friedrichshafen, where Graf von Zeppelin
tested his airships, they just blot out the Nazi markings whereever
they're found.

It's not that I miss the Swastika or anything, but I think it's possible to
take this sort of thing too far. The other day I saw a local high school
production of "The Diary of Anne Frank". At the end, when the Nazi SS men
stormed in and took everyone away, I noticed an interesting thing--their
uniforms were accurate in every particular except that they bore no
Swastikas.

So let me get this straight--you put on a play about the Holocaust, you
refer to Hitler and the Nazis by name at least a dozen times, but showing a
Swastika is too sensitive?

Speaking of PC wimps, what's wrong with simply typing "****"?
