Great War truck Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Quite amazing. I find it odd that it is within Poland, probably the nation that suffered the worst under the Nazis that you find this sort of stuff and planty of SS re-enactors too. The world is strange and nasty.

Joris Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 Poland had a history of anto semetic pogroms even before the Nazi's took over.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapper Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I think we have learned to be very sensitive about anything to do with the Holocaust and the plight of the Jews. BUT, I don't care about that as a side issue. I think it is disgusting - truly inexcusable to try and sell muck like this and eBay should be ashamed of themselves for allowing it. What next - repro manacles from Bristol slave ships? It beggars belief. MB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naruto Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 it's not right to sale this on ebay, very sad indeed. But as I'm thinking such items could or are also used in ww2 movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashley Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Quite amazing. I find it odd that it is within Poland, probably the nation that suffered the worst under the Nazis that you find this sort of stuff and plenty of SS re-enactors too. The world is strange and nasty. Tim (too) Not forgetting Poland, Latvia amongst other European countries (occupied by the Germans) are best known in modern times for producing 90%+ of the faked German militaria in the world today (from Prussian through to Bundes) Ashley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuno Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Colleagues; it does actually not surprise me to read such message from Poland. If you check out the offers from the same seller on Ebay, then you will find that they even sell original dog-tags. Unbroken dog-tags mean that still a family is waiting to learn about the fate of their father, brother, son. Makes me not only sad but angry. And Ebay is not watching it - only if somebody would dare to present a historical photo with a Swastika, then they would interfer... http://stores.ebay.co.uk/FELDPOST-14-45-MILITARY-SHOP_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ0QQftidZ2QQpZ2QQtZkm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andreadavide Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Poland had a history of anto semetic pogroms even before the Nazi's took over.... Also AFTER the Nazis were defeated. They had their last pogrom in 1946... Andrea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
