Laws regarding Thrid Reich items in Germany

[goober]

Hi

I am new to this hobby and was wondering if anyone can help me with this question. What are the laws in Germany in regards to collecting Third Reich militaria? I have come across several sites based in Germany that deal in this field and have noticed a couple of them have the Swastika edited out in the photos.

Is it legal to possess items with the Swastika in Germany? How about other Third Reich items?

Thanks for your help

There is no problem collecting in Germany, except public display of swastikas and other Nazi emblems plus Nazi slogans is not permitted. This is why German based websites have these censored out.

Cheers, Ade.
