Who'd want this?

Well, back in the nineties one of Hitler's Mercedes Benzes that had been on display in the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa for decades and was offered for sale because it was not considered to be  appropriate for the collection and to raise money for the acquisition of other more appropriate artifacts. Within a few days the offer was withdrawn because of fears that the neo-nazis would get their paws on it and turn it into some sort of shrine. It remained on display but I'm not sure whether or not it's still being displayed in the new building. 

I'm amazed that anyone's surprised at the 'taboo brownie points' of said item. Where have you been the last 30 years ? Rock is littered with the boyish blasphemies of those who flirt with fascist iconography: e.g Throbbing Gristle used it as the logo for a record label. Joy Division were named after jewish female prisoners used as concubines by Nazi officers, Siouxsie Sioux wore a swastika armband (the list goes on)

Strange - stolen to order???

Bizarre, very bizarre

Neo-nazis, maybe?
