My Great Grandfather was killed by Russian Soldiers in ww2 I dont hold a grudge against them in any way , that was just how it was at the time . Im not saying it was right but its just out of context when a painting is displayed . Comment on the painting . If you want to comment about the man and what he has done start a new post and ramble there !!!!

The posts here are talking about the painting. You are the one who started up with what the painter did, and I am sure we are all aware of that. You have a point to make? Then make it. Directing others what to do when you have a total of 6 posts here is out of line. The mods and admins here keep things pretty loose and we like it that way. So chill.

The romans were cruel to other nations and made a lot of people suffer, but does history look past them or destroy the artifacts of them because they were cruel?

You do not have to remove the swatzika from WW2 artifacts, you just can not display the swatzika in public unless it is part of a museum or show.

I thought that in Germany that, for example, you could not put a swastika on a WWII german aircraft or its replica? Is that not true?

Depends on what you are using it for. If it is an authentic German WW2 aircraft then yes it is allowed to have the Swatzika on it because of the historical value. For instance all 6 Bf-109 including the oldest surviving Bf-109 a Bf-109E-3 found at the Deutsches Museum in Munich have the swatzika on them.

Below are pictures of the Bf-109G at the Sinsheim Museum in Sinsheim Germany and the Bf-109G-2 at the Luftwaffe Museum in Berlin Germany. Both have the swatzikas on them.

What you are not allowed to do is lets say take a modern plane and put swatzikas on them or put them on your car or sew one onto your jacket and walk around with it or wave a flag with a swatzika on it.

Thanks, Adler. That clears it up for me.
