But I have never been called a nazi in my great coats so why not?
    I am old enough to remember those uniforms actually being worn, by prisoners of war and what those uniforms stood for do offend me. However time moves on as do generations, so inevitably the pain, the tears, unimaginable cruelty and suffering that those uniforms represent is dulled by the passing of the years, as probably it should. BUT, we must not forget, ever. Personally, I would prefer those uniforms be either seen in a museum, or burnt and don't think that they are appropriate attire for the general public to wear at anytime or any place.
