I came into a large lot of WWII military items, mostly American but some are German. I first read Ebays rules on "offensive symbols" and offensive wording, but am still confused.I wonder if it will be safe to post these items if I don't mention the "N" word (Nazi) and obscure any swaztikas or SS symbols that show on the items, as I have done in the photo in the address below.(sorry, don't know how to insert a link on this board). I know these items offend some people. The ideology which caused their creation offends me, but the items themselves do not. I know they have value, and are collected by legitimate military history buffs, not just skinheads and other pukes who want to wear them in parades. Having said that, I hope I won't get lectured on politcal history. What I want opinions on is if I am careful, will I have problems on Ebay. TIA,

Great looking luftwaffe helmet you got there. Posting of german WWII items is verboten by ebay terms if the item in question has a SS rune or other nazi symbol, like the "ticker" the eagle on your helmet is holding. Some items are pulled others not, it's all up to the snitch rat fink program. Most likey it will be pulled. best bet for Nazi items is ePeir. All the other collectors have gone to that site to trade nazi related items. If you have allied items eBay is the best place. Hope this helps.
