Three Lions on a Tunic
Oof. You may want to find out in advance. I was just asking because I had my Zeugmeisterei T-shirt in the Czech Republic which has a Totenkopf on the front of it (the advertising is working, boys) but decided not to wear it out and about after Jakub pointed out to me that the Czech Police have a little book of banned symbols that they carry around with them. Apparently the Totenkopf is in there, along with all the obvious ones.Bill Medland wrote:To be honest, I will find out when they see my ski capwhat's the legal status of the Totenkopf in Germany?
Cheers, Bill

One or two of the members have Waffen-SS pattern skulls
because they look the same.

at our first meeting at Bussum.
The meeting included the Gruppenleiters of all the main groups in Germany.
Shame you could not come
and I may get an invite for tea and cakes?
But are you really going to do that?
I think not, because it would not be in your interest to do so.

Good to hear that. Volker your English is good, very good... but sadly not perfect. When you write "Right" at the end of a sentence in the way you did, that can be seen as a threat. Perhaps a would have helped here?Bill, I'm not threatening anybody.
1. The image that I posted in this thread clearly shows that I have covered up the swastika in the arm eagle. None of the other insignia is forbidden under §86a (Even the England WM team have three lions on a shirt).You're going to do something of which I don't think it is very smart

Trouble from whom? Of course you can rub it under the nose of the police a few timeswhich might attract trouble.

Umm, I'm a bit gullible........
I was just interested because if that is so, then it looks like it's illegal in the Czech Republic but it's legal in Germany. I can only presume that it's because it was an accepted symbol before being appropriated by the Third Reich.

It changes from country to country and I am only living 3 miles from the Dutch border. If we do a local event and walk over farmers fields, it is quite possible to stray over the border without knowing!
The worst laws between countries is the standards of weapon deacts.
Mine fire blanks so I cant take them into Holland. In Belgium it is different again.

Here is a list of all banned insignias in Germany.

Insane. So by that logic, if they adopt this one, it too will have to be banned:-

Won't the World eventually run out of flags?
In my opinion, it's about time Germany started dealing with its past, instead of running away from it. (That's just my opinion - please don't start shouting at me)
