Rena: One thing occured to me after I re-read your original post ...

I'd say you could have avoided a lot of politically-charged posts and flames (although so far, this is relatively tame) if you had simply, more or less, stated something like "Here is a pre-WWII German officer's uniform. Enjoy, it's free!" 'Nuff said.

Instead you went on to electrify it with "before the nightmare begun" and basically apologize for posting a potentially offensive image/product. In this day and age, you're likely to offend someone with just about anything. If they don't like it they don't have to continue looking at it, and certainly don't have to download or buy it.

I would definitely recommend not taking an apologetic or hyper-cautionary approach to posting your freebies OR products in the future. (i.e. Create whatever in the heck moves you to do so!) If someone has a problem with, as one member put it, historically accurate items (be they clothing, props, characters, etc.) ... then so be it, they have bigger issues than just Poser clothing objections.

Again, terrific work.
