| Les of Primus is correct.
It was in the early 90s that I first visited France with my parents; I was 6 years of age, and clearly recall myself asking my father what was that ugly smell in the Paris subway while being in a real crammed wagon.
I do not recall my dadīs answer but I understand what was the smell.

Country:  | i think it'd be wrong to bad it, it'd be like we're trying to forget that chapter in history but only by learning about it can we prevent it happeneing again.................
and talking of political correctness, you know the punch and judy puppet shows?? well a puppetteer in a town near where i live called bodmin was banned from performing that in the town as it was seen to promote domestic violence, they thought all the little kiddes would go home and beat their wifes with sausages.................

| Back on the idea of tank killers . . . I was able to get the pics of the P-38 armed with a 75mm cannon scanned in. They are in the pics section if anyone wants to take a look.

Country: | Not back on the Tank Killer subject... 
It is stupid banning them. I fail to see how you could be offended by the symbol, plus the fact I bet it's the minority that's offended and this is a democracy!
I still think that because it's a democracy Nazis and Communists alike should be allowed political parties, they aren't going to get any votes but it's not democracy if you don't allow them.
Nothing happened in 1938, the Germans were invited into Czechoslovakia, it was a happy time THEY SERVED PUNCH!

Country: | this is all not surprising when you have only an 1/8th of the population of Germany made up of WW 2 vets. The others will speak and set the tone in Germnay and elsewhere when it comes to stupidity. the 9/10ths of German schule students are ignorant of the WW 2 past and would just rather forget it even happened.
All ebay.de current listings ban the swastika symbol in any form as well as other German militaria sites
