[Friedrich-Berthold]

That is, Der Traum ist aus! Aus, der Traum! The dream is over is how one translates it, I think.

that's exactly correct. "The Dream is Over".

[Friedrich-Berthold]

The downfall of the Nazi regime only meant the beginning of the foetid woolens as souvenir and cult object, being a new nightmare for seekers of such objects; or, conversely, a nuisance and nightmare for others whose only wish was to destroy these things as quickly as possible. I have had many friends of mine in the latter category, actually.
