House Flag

I live in Germany, why is it illegal to hang up a Nazi flag outside my house?

I don’t understand why its illegal but my mother said it is. I want to hang it outside my house. I wish we would have won the war, we were so close to being the greatest power on earth. Why is illegal in my country but not illegal in America?

We have a right to free speech guaranteed in our Bill of Rights (the first ten amendments to our constitution). A relatively small but influential group of anti-Federalist farmers and tradesmen demanded the Bill of Rights. They were opponents to the Federalist Party and the bankers and merchants controlling it. They authored the Bill of Rights and wouldn’t accept the new constitution (today’s) the Federalists wanted in 1787 unless that was included.

Jews have screeched since the war about the Nazis. They want to erase anything referring to them and have forced the kind of thing you noted. Germany doesn’t have the same Bill of Rights we have.

Sadly, most Jews don’t want to recognize the stereotypical traits, common to cultures from where theirs developed, that angered the ethnic Germans when they were suffering ever worse economic degradation. NSDAP (Nazi Party) had the policy to evict all non-Germans from German lands before they came to power. That’s one of the things that appealed to the ethnic Germans then when they were suffering even more than the rest of the world from the economic depression of the early 1930s.

The Nazis resented particularly Gypsies and Jews since those cultures were inclined to be less loyal to Germany and most loyal to their own people. Nazis would not tolerate any loyalty over loyalty to Germany. Even so, contrary to many Jews’ claims, they were not systematically killed by the Nazis until Germany was starved by allied attacks on their transportation and Jews could no longer be fed. Until then the Nazis had been enslaving the ones who still had not left after “crystal nacht.” That night was the final warning to Jews that they must leave Germany. Many had left before that and more left after.

Read “Tricking the Devil” by Dorla Gundersheimer. It’s her memoirs of the period through the 1930s and early 1940s. She was a young Jewish girl who never went to the camps. It shows her family’s struggle to stay out of them and it shows the life of German civilians outside Munich during that period.
