I was amused to find a bunch of nazi memorabilia (3rd Reich stamps mostly, but some other stuff) for sale in Lichtenstein.
There's an antique shop in Sarajevo with an alarming amount of Nazi memorabilia. Apparently Germans are his best customers :lol:

Although, I'm not too sure I fancy the tactic of just repeating your question endlessly when the interviewee obviously has no intention of answering it. :hmm:

I love Danish journalist Martin Krasnik. His expression of despair when he has a politician caught deep in his own pool of bullshit is priceless.
What did your dad do now? :P
Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son

Yes, something like that. It gets annoying and after the third avoidance the journalists has proved his point or made himself look stupid.

:P This was Bertel Haarder, a pro-EU politican, that is, until his party changed stance so now he's not-so-pro-EU.

I have a Luftwaffe dagger. Thoughtfully removed from the corpse of the owner.

All I have are an Iron Cross 2nd Class, Wound Badge in Black, and a War Merit Cross.  Oh, and a late-pattern Schützenschnur I can't find.  Got good deals on them all back when you could buy the stuff on ebay. 

I'm guessing your dagger is worth quite a bit.  Even the East German ones are obscenely valued.

As an ROTC cadet I was awarded the current Bundeswehr version & got to wear it on my dress uniform.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Tyr, don't rule out older women. Remember that all cats are gray in the dark.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
