<p>[QUOTE=&quot;the blacksmith, post: 12335654, member: 20148&quot;]Absolutely Komo, which was why I collected them! Though I do not collect them anymore, that is for other reasons (which I may recount in another thread) , and I never collected them for their political connection. As a kid when collecting these my mother and father never had any problems with my collecting them, they knew how obsessed I am with edged weapons ( I started collecting when I was six!), and that I was interested in the history of the period as well.</p><p>My mother lived under Nazi occupation for five years, and my father saw action from&nbsp; 1942 -1945 and was amongst the first liberators of Bergen Belsen, so he saw the atrocities the Nazi&#039;s commited absolutely first hand. </p><p><br /></p><p>If, collected for the right reasons I am absolutely fine with such items.......<u>if collected for the right reasons! </u>Though as I said earlier, do understand peoples horror and disgust at such things.</p><p>But we mustn&#039;t forget.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
