If you don’t like it then go somewhere else. No one who restores these pieces or collects them thinks that way. Neo nazis probably couldn’t even afford them in the first place. Do some actual research for yourself but I’m sure your mindset is too far gone for any sort of reasoning and for that I am sorry.

If you see nothing wrong with anything about defending someone fully restoring a Nazi bayonet and intentionally minimizing history by titling it a “WW2 German Bayonet” and finishing up the vid by literally stabbing something to show it being used= your are a Nazi or a Nazi sympathizer

[@imjentzplaysmc]

@@gabegrillo2527 ugh. What about people who reenact? They own the full uniform. Does that make them nazis? No it doesn’t. You know not every German was a Nazi? They fought for their country and many were forced into service. But besides all of that. I don’t think you realize how much this stuff is worth and historical value they have. Like I said in my previous comment your mind is sadly made up. I collect everything ww2 and yes including German memorabilia. Does that make me a nazi? No. I know plenty of Jewish people that solely collect German flags and other items. For the history it has especially with their people. Your thoughts are off and maybe you should consider rethinking about what you are trying to say. I’m done talking to you but feel free to reply to my message and I’ll keep collecting as many do and will continue to do and restore brilliant pieces of history. 😁
