Those of us who lived during WWII, and many who came after, were greatly affected by it. It was a big part of our lives, whether we were actually in the war or at home during a very memorable time in history. We find it very hard to forget, even after all this time. Wanting some memorabilia of it and wanting to keep the memory alive is no more evil than remembering the Titanic, steam locomotives or Elvis Presley (each to his own taste). Of course, WWII created some exceptionally terrible memories for some people, and we should respect their sensitivities in the way we recall it.
There are always those idiots who will idolize bad people, and certainly Hitler and the Nazis are prime fodder for them, and there’s not much the rest of us can do about people like that. But please don’t lump everyone who is interested in WWII with the likes of them.

Such politically correct people,so good,kind,and humanatarian.So-liberal,so patriotic,and of course more intelligent than anyone else..Anyone who studies REAL HISTORY,would not be offended by any of images of Adolf Hitler,We have politicians daily lauding Winston Churchill.A noted manic depressive,and cruel war monger who rejected all negoitiations along with FDR to end WW2.(See HUMAN SMOKE BY NICHOLOSON BRADY)(THE UNECESARRY WAR BY BUCHANAN)There allie was Stalin,who imprisioned more people and killed many more than Hitler ever did before and after WW2.Harry Truman vaporized 250.000 innocent people at Hiroshima continueing FDRs mad,and criticized policy of UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDR.(See THE NEW DEALERS WAR BY THOMAS FLEMING)FDR lied about Pearl Harbour(See INFAMY BY JOHN TOLAND)Korea,Vietnam,Iraq,all wars pushed by the same groups in the USA who brought you the others….AND AS YOU SIT HEE POTIFICATING ISRAL OCCUPIES PERSECUTES THE PALISTINIANS….What Chutzpa!(Yes its Yiddish) Adolf Hitler only became a monster in Allied propaganda.Before the war he was respected,.During the war he was idolized in the AXIS countries(SEE HITLERS WAR BY IRVING/WEBSITE ADOLF THE GREAT)George Orwell said the misreading of history has done more harm to mankind than any other thing.The shallow,and predudiced comments against examining,and enjoying deep historical scholarship,and collecting iconography of any politically incorrect nature proves this.

After a few hundred years of fetishizing Hitler he’ll probably go the same way as Vlad the Impaler, the first real character ultimately fictionalized into new monster of the horror genre. *Looks sideways at her Vlad the Impaler wooden plate from her holidays in Transylvania* Um, actually, Vlad Ţepeş *is* considered a national hero in Romania for defending the country from the Ottoman invaders. It's entirely Bram Stoker's fault that when he skimmed a few history books for local flavour he thought that "Dracula" was such a spiffy name.

The fascination with Hitler and 3rd Reich ‘memorabilia’ is probably some kind of anti-social fetish that attracts some people precisely because the vast majority are so repelled.

After a few hundred years of fetishizing Hitler he’ll probably go the same way as Vlad the Impaler, the first real character ultimately fictionalized into new monster of the horror genre. Kids will wear Hitler costumes at Halloween and wikipedia will have to send you to a disambiguation page when you search on his name. When that happens Elvis will probably also be the new Jesus.

People are weird.

Can I just say, isn’t it interesting that the website provides for those that might be worried their WIVES specifically would be upset by this “memorabilia”. The sellers assume that their customers are male and that, if they do live with somebody else, they’re married to them or that other person is just a roommate, not a partner.

This is a terrible website. It makes me sick that someone would want to spend there personal time looking for mousepads with a monsters face on it. Hitler should not be shown in a positive light. The world needs to focus on making peace, not remembering the Holocaust in an insensitive manor.

do they not even realize that “chutzpah” is a Hebrew-derived, Yiddish word? Do they think it’s German or something? Incidentally, Yiddish is a dialect of German with a lot of Hebrew words in it. ^_^;; The interesting thing is, both Josef Stalin and Mao Zedong also killed millions of people during their respective mandates, but Soviet and communist Chinese poster art is incredibly trendy nowadays...

I’m highly amused by the irony and stupidity displayed by their use of the word “chutzpah” on their front page. Really, do they not even realize that “chutzpah” is a Hebrew-derived, Yiddish word? Do they think it’s German or something? L.O.L.

Are the Nazis something we want to make a memorabilia out of? It is true most of the basic men were good German soldiers who were following their orders, but their dictator who brought the Nazi ways to being, was a tyrant. Although Hitler was a great leader and had powerful soothing words on the radio, the masses of people he murdered was completely out of pure evil. I believe a website honoring that is not necessary.
The natzi flag and symbol are used by supremacists and this nazi website is something the supremacists are going to visit and buy different posters symbolizing hate. It is good to remember the good german soldiers who believed they were fighting for their country and dying for it, but the Nazis were something else. Hitler also brainwashed man of the men to the point where they thought what they were doing was right. We should not remember the Nazis and the nazi symbol as a group. It is almost as if we are finding glory in their hate.
