My SS regalia and on line larceny

The image of my cap (courtesy Shea) pilfered by others. At least it is for an educational site. Schutzstaffel - the SS

Imitation is the highest form of flattery.

We also buy and trade your items and full collections!

It is a nice image, I warrant you.

I also found a nifty SA/SS chart with the uniforms, which is very nice.

Interesting that the site has copyright infringement regulations,
yet steals images for their own use.........

I am not sure how scholarly the site is then, perhaps they copied the text as well?

Don't copy their copy.........!

Oh well. I do not really care all that much, frankly. It is still my hat. All of this shadow thingy does beg the question of what is reality in the year 2013.

At least they might have given you credit for your images, FB.........

An honest historian would have cited his sources and asked permission beforehand.

The degree to which these on line things more or less wholly plagiarize someone else is legion.
I am afraid that the conventional idea of authorship (the bedrock of my professional life) is pretty extinct.
