If I had the spare money, I'd buy the crap out of that.

I have plenty of Nazi collectibles. Medals, arm bands, Hitler Youth dagger, "Paratrooper" knives, insignias, a K98, a captured Russian M38 re branded with an eagle ... That doesn't mean I support anything to do with it. I have just as much if not more Allied memorabilia. Some people are just interested in preserving history.

Oh and as for sick auctions, what about Ted Bundy's Beetle? Or John Wayne Gacy's art? There are all kinds of auctions of serial killer memorabilia. Does that offend you?

I fully agree with "Magnivea". I bought a bronze statue of Adolf Hitler in a jewish owned auction called Rosen, located in Croydon, London, UK. Who's the racist ? Me ? I have spent my hard earned money on that thing. Them ? They made money from it, instead of melting it off or… whatever. And please, spare me the cr@p about the "jewish holocaust", 6,000,000 jews killed, gas chambers & all. I am actually considering buying this nicely crafted kit. And put it to good use on some good ol' friends

Yes. Does it offend you, or do you view serial killer memorabilia as equally valid collectables for historical reasons? (Just to be clear, I'm not criticising you for your personal views on this though).

I would rather this be up for sale than enough gear to make a dirty nuke bomb, and has Rockpuck says it is of historical value on not just what it is but what it may have been used for.........history is not something that happened in the past, it is something to learn from and hopefully make us better people for it.

I don't find it offensive, but I don't believe it's a preservation of history. Being capable of murdering a large number of people before the police can catch you is not an admirable accomplishment.

That said, I am fascinated by cases like Jack the Ripper and Zodiac, mostly because we'll probably never know for sure who was responsible.

So it was a holding camp for those destined for the death camps?
In which 90% of the children there were transported to their deaths.
Enough said
