Thanks for the warning ABC guy. Apparently an auction house is selling WW2 German special branch items buy listing themselves as a museum. Good on them. Not everyone desiring such items are bad people. That's a title reserved for those trying to rewrite history.., Hey, wait a minute.., I though the German special branch were the ones trying to rewrite history??? One lots saying something different happen, the other lots trying to ban all trace of them and most people are piggy in the middle. Great idea for a sci fi though. Of course, if you ban all trace, where's your evidence? Don't allow logic to get in the way of a good cover up. Wait, isn't that the other lot? Now I'm confused. Where's the warning for that? |

What is the German special branch? |

This isn't about ww2, right? |

I feel like I have dropped into the middle of a conversation with no context… The answer is 47. |

Yes, the writer could have been clear or given some background info to help understand what he is trying to say. Otherwise, my response is Uh? |

"What is the German special branch?" Probably poison sumac or eucalyptus… |

"What is the German special branch?" I can recommend India Jones Raiders of the lost Ark and the last Crusade. And the rocketeer. They were active in those films. Like Bond, Timothy Dalton is best. But not most attractive… Women's opinion may differ. But that's what's going to happen if they stop people displaying and trading such memorabilia, people will forget. "Lest we forget", umm, who were they fighting (WW2)? |

If you are talking about German artifacts or Nazi artifacts from WW2, I highly doubt we will forget them just because these artifacts are banned in Germany and other countries. |

Well, it may be a slippery slope. You can get in trouble selling them in Australia. At the same time new movie 4k releases are being edited. A line from pleasentville, a cheeky grab by Dundee, so on. Mermaid bum. One may assume some people take German parifanalia more seriously. So why not the flags and badges in movies? Heck why not docos too? Where will it end? They won't let the uniforms march, to my knowledge. So no one can get a real idea of what it was like outside tv. But Star wars is ok, kids can dress in black as a guy who slaughtered an entire planet. PS A woman who gets around is a bleep?? PPS Actually the irony is she called herself one in the film, then the recent release had it censored, now mention of it is censored… That's exactly what I'm talking about will happen with WW2! |

Hi, Distressed. I'm Confused. |

Well, the news segment likely never got to the US. It's interesting that's there's a push to get artifacts of all types out of our hands. There a while show "stuff the British stole." I think they would make more episodes with a show "stuff the (certain demographic of Australia) stole," but that's just me, at least we got bush mechanics. On the flip side, big tech are trashing rare books. But Harry still can't go out on Halloween. Why do people have to suffer now so that some people can feel better about people who suffered almost a century ago? Can we make their grandchildren suffer for our suffering? Isn't that how this all started? Punishing certain groups of people for things that happened years before. Instead of erasing history, let's try not to repeat it. Ok. A lot of people get around with a guy nailed to timber. Does that mean they want to nail people to timber? Does a fancy cross (the other one) mean one wants to go Dalek on people? Do either? Confederate statues, thats another one. Scan, baby, scan. |

Sometimes there are nouns for dinner. And when there aren't, some may be. With sure affirmation of the proposition, we can not continue. And no, Dave, if have the answer to a different un-asked question. |

I bet there's a boat off shore where people are trading the stuff in international waters. The Luger boat? We all live in a German U-boat? The boat that reiched? Money on the Bismarck? |

Someone leaning off the front, singing "My collection will go on," with only one arm out. Of course, the other lot will rock up eventually, in their own boats, Green Peace style: "How dare you!" |
