Questions & Comments
In Germany now ,you can not raise your hands up any more or you get Arrested my German friend told me this 2 wks ago! there have now a group in germany there like Hitlers people!!
Thank you. I am fully German my self this is the first time I ever came across one of these. I'm not too sure what it was from or for it just a really neat piece of history
I have had it looked at the value on it at this time is around $150 they said the value will go up over the years but as Far as $2000 that's a little far fetched I've been collecting for over 10 years if it was worth that much I would have sold it but I'd rather see it go to a collector in just trying to down size my collection
Just a little Info for all those interested in this. This peice cant be an authentic peice. Adolf Hittler tok the Swasika and turned it on its side. This Swastika is not turned on its side. He never used this symbol the way itis shown here.
It is an old latin symbol meaning strengh and prosperity. Hitler used this symbol because he wanted strengh and prosperity for the white race. The swastika also has a long history with the Aryan Nations way before Hitler started using it. There have been old clay pots and writings with this swastika on them found in East Europe that were from hundreds of years ago. These writings also talked about white supremacy; so we know those writings were from white men and not from latin men. It is a simple geometric symbol used by nearly every culture. In Hinduism it is a holy symbol meaning good luck, the right handed swastika represents the rising sun and is one of the 108 symbols of Vishnu. The left handed swastika (known as the sauvastika) represents the goddess Kali who reigns over magic and destruction. Neither of these are symbols are evil and neither is exactly the swastika Hitler used since he took the noble swastika, inverted it and turned it on it's side.
In Buddhism it appears on many Buddhas representing the wheel of Samsara and rebirth yet again it has been inverted, tilted and people automatically think of Hitler when they see any orientation of the symbol. Buddhism originated in the Hindu tradition so it is not surprising to find it there.
Hitler's regime had a firm belief in the superiority of the Aryan race. There was indeed a race called the Aryans in the Indus valley (note: Hindu is a western term for all religions beyond the Indus Valley Indus=Hindus get it) though Hitler used this symbol it is not evil and we should be aware of the fact that all cultures use this as a simple symbol which is easy to draw.
I dont understand why everyone is giving this guy such a hard time. Its not like he made any grand definitive claims. Its a piece. A thing. If you dont like it. why did you click on it? If you think its fake, dont bid on it. If you think hes crazy, so what? Do your own homework and if you dont like or trust what you see... then just move along. Its not like he reincarnated Hitler! Its a thing... a piece... of History... as messed up as it is... Ugh!!! Cant we all just get along and browse around peacefully? Geeeez!!! f&w anorako! Good luck with this!
I love history and in my opinion this item represents an important part of history. For all of you whoare giving this guy a hard time, relax. He is not promoting Nazi beliefs or any "hate" against a group of people. For those of you who believe that, you are ignorant and narrow minded, probably racist yourselves. This item is of great historical value and would make a beautiful addition to any historical collection, reproduction or not. I am bidding and hoping to add this to my immense collection. As for a Historical statement, Adolph Hitler was a lunatic, who twisted the beliefs of so many people, but in the Second WW, the true insanity was Joseph Stalin. He murdered over 17 million of his own people, so if your ignorant, please block any Russian, Japanese, Italian, Oh yeah American, Egyptian, Isralie and so on, Just about every nation. So again, Please back off and let the man auction his items in peace. Thank you
