2024 Nazi Militaria Ban Australia - Explained

Everything you need to know about the restrictions against buying and selling Third Reich militaria in Australia as of Janurary 2024 by owner of JB Military Antiques, Jamey Blewitt.

[@MadHeadzOz]

Atrocities were carried out by every side. Yes the invasion of Poland can accurately be described as a catalyst. More accurately the fulcrum that European, primarily British interests leveraged in an attempt to stifle a superior industrial competitor. The british pioneered concentration camps in Africa against the Boer (mostly) women and children. It proved effective. The US eugenics movement was inspirational for complex superior type thinker. Fire bombing civilians. Rationing of resource. On and on thlists could go. There were no good guys. We have all been lied too and deliberately misled. It was a war for industrial, market, currency dominance. Lest we forget. It was NEVER our freedom that was fought for. It was profit for the few. Paid for with the blood of the many. The memorabilia represents how easily the very worst of humantiy can become popular culture. There is nothing glorious about industrialised slaughter. It only stopped with the threat of mutually assured destruction. FYI, the allies burned far more books than the nazis. The famous book burnings being organised by overzealous/misguided students who invited the head of pr to attend. We must remember that if we aren't vigilant we can find ourselves goose stepping.

If you still think the allies fought the 3rd Reich over moral principles, you should read outside of the victor approved literature. Why did the allies escalate what would have been a German-Polish war into a World War, just to give half of Europe to Stalin? Why did the British Empire start bombing German women and children while rejecting over 20 German appeals for peace at the start of the war, and why did Germany endure her civilians being carpet bombed for 3 months before retaliating? Because moral principles had nothing to do with the allies' motives.

It is not something to be brought before the bar of world history but rather something that has to be dealt with by the judicial administration of each country. It must be met with the same ruthless and even brutal means with which it strives to usurp power or hold power in its hands. Here there can be no bargaining; because the danger that threatens Europe is acute. Overnight it might break in among the civilised nations of the world and spread universal catastrophe.

Medals and uniforms for example will with swatstika on them. Are they going to spray paint over them or something ? The ME 109, ME 262 in the AWM currently. What about if I build a model aircraft kit of a German aircraft and display it at a scale model exhibition which happens around the country every year. Does that mean I can go to jail for building a representation of a German aircraft as it looked like. A hobby has become illegal, due to one having an interest in WWII history. What about a book or poster or movies showing swatstikas. Complete madness and stupidity, this is crazy. Wake up Australian politicians.

[@GrenzerKuK]

Revell Germany stopped supplying tail swastika decals in their aircraft model kits in the 1970s to comply with German law re display of Nazi symbols, etc. Same with their box art - no more swastikas on illustrations of WW2 Luftwaffe aircraft. Not sure if it later became EU law as well but many other model kit makers based in Europe seem to have followed suit so as to be able to access the German market. Think Heller, the French model kit maker, went down the same path too in the end. But, y'know, the Italian fasces symbol used on Italian WW2 aircraft - no problem; Soviet Red Stars and other communist symbols on kits of MiG, Polikarpov and Illushyin aircraft? again, no problem. The Japanese hinomaru symbol used on the aircraft of the Imperial Japanese Navy and Army air forces and the 'rising sun' war flag flown by both military services in WWII? Again, no problem - could get very tricky if it was to become a problem as both symbols are still used by the modern Japanese Self Defence Forces today. It makes no sense. Thankfully Tamiya, Hasegawa and now all the South Korean and Chinese companies like Dragon, Hobbycraft, Trumpeter, etc never saw the swastika as a problem. The AWM shop sells model kits of most the 'big toys' in their collection - guess they'll only be stocking Revell Germany kits of the Bf-109 now despite being able to see a genuine swastika on the tail of the real aircraft just down the hall...

haha Australia is a joke. I'm first gen Australian, both my parents came to Australia from Germany after WW2, all my relatives fought for Germany, none were Nazi's. I got into collecting German WW2 memorabilia after I was called a Nazi at my school which I didn't have a clue what it was. Then asked my parents, then got into collecting in my 20's. I have a ton of stuff from when I collected seriously from about 10 to 15 years ago, I haven't bought anything for a long time now, but have kept all my stuff in boxes. From soldiers letters, photos, stamps, currency, medal, patches, death cards etc. Its all a part of history. Why ban one part of history and not others, religions done worse to humanty,haha. Is the hammer and sickle symbol banned? I mean the Swastika isn't even soley a national socilaist symbol, the Finnish used it, pilots used it on planes in WW1 and the Hindus been using it for ages before. The country is soft, we cant even be proud of the Australian flag anymore. On the plus side, you can always post your unwanted memorabilia to people you don't like and get them arrested for it 😂

[@keithad6485]

Was in Germany in 1998 with my then German GF, Though I am not a collector of Nazi stuff, she did tell me that anything with swastikas will never be found for sale or on public display. First weekend market we went to, found a WW2 gas mask and canister with the usual acceptance marks (AMT) with eagle and swastika. And a nazi dagger with the swastika very clearly displayed on the cross piece. Both on open display on the table. And this is in a country where the police have a duty to confiscate anything bearing the swastika, they can break a shop window legally to carry out such consfications and the shop keeper has no legal standing to sue the copper for damages.

[@crazyprayingmantis5596]

I don't think they thought that far.

[@chrisbrent7487]

No. There are specific exemptions for education, literature and exhibitions where it is done in good faith for educational or historical purposes. The Hollocaust museum in Melbourn has a huge collection of 3rd Reich items and they can display them without issue. Same goes if you were writing history book, you can include photos and such without issues. If you were to write an ideological book promoting national socialism, then you would be in breach. These really are stupid laws. Banning the public display of NAZI imagery for poltical or ideological reasons would have gone far enough. It would be in line with many European nations.

What gets me is how laws are arrived at. MPs used to be mostly lawyers who were comparatively wary of lumbering us with extra rules, but today a donkey can get itself elected and instead of formulating all the other 16,000 paragraphs that go with the edict "if you rent a spare bedroom to..." they get some powerful public servant to write them and then they rubber stamp it because they personally will never be effected by it. Try building a stock dam the size of a modern day house block on your own farm. Guess what they call the stuff that falls out of big black storm clouds and fills your illegal new dam? Yes, you guessed it. Government property. After they do you for the dam they'll get you on theft for stealing what all the rest of us call "rain."

As an Aussie, I cannot believe how much of a nanny state we have become. By owning these items does it mean I support or sympathise with Nazi Germany, of course not! If I trade these items does it mean I am corrupting or influencing somebody to believe in the Nazi ideology, I think not.
