After retiring, I had a good business and personal friend visit with his wife. His father and mother were both survivors and marched West from Auchwitz to Dachau where they were liberated. I was a little concerned about them seeing the collection room but was pleasantly surprised that they understood the history the collection represented and knew I was not a "Nazi." My usual comment to the uneducated is it is always better to utilize the equipment of your enemy than the reverse. As a kid, I had a SA sturmfahne hanging on my bedroom wall. It was visible from the street and no one ever thought I was weird. It was a different time before the dawn of the hated "political correctness."
