"serves the art or the science, the research or the teachings, the reporting over procedures of the zeitgeschehens or history or similar purposes"

Exactly what I said originally. If the signs are used in historical context, for research, museum, military re-enactments, films, etc, it is totally legal. These signs on these uniforms are used to present a historical uniform, not to promote nazism in any way. If you read the whole law, not just three paragraphs, you will see that the use is legal even in Germany. Or do you want to tell me that German museums, or German books about the second world war, or German documentaries, do not have pictures of Swastikas in them.

I really love the way that people who have no interest in military history suddenly become legal experts at the drop of a hat, about a subject that that couldn't have cared less about a day ago. I have been working with, and researching military history for years, I have worked with military museums and researchers on books, and when I say I have researched the law I mean that, not just googling three paragraphs.

There are model kit companies who make accurate historical models and they are German companies. They can legally make historical models featuring all the original German insignia's. There are modellers magazines printed in Germany that feature explanations of how to paint the German insignias. These are legal, because model kits are considered historical representations. 3D models fall into exactly the same category.

I am so sick of this. I am leaving this thread because I have no time for trolls.
