Banned Items - Offensive material?

soolin

I have bought that book on ebay before as it forms part of a degree course reading list.

As for burning books, I can only echo what others have already said..read and understand history then you'll see why that suggestion upsets a lot of people.

to be honest you would be best to sell it through a military forum you will get more what it is worth www.warrelics.eu is a good one free to join and you can sell directly to people who are intersted, they will only pay what it is worth though. With ebay you need to state they you are glorifying the nazi era and the book is for historical purposes only, thats they way i have seen many people get around it, you wont be able to post it certain counties though

Why would you have bought this horrible book in the first place?Dont sell it, just burn it

why post if your not going to offer constructive advice...........you should keep your opinions to yourself and go and get yourself a little education in history, people dont generally sell these sort of items because they think its fun, its about education, something you clearly have none of.............

I would suggest that it's the symbology that got it pulled.

Shouldnt be, its a Hindu/Bhuddist symbol, that was !!!!!!!ised by Hitler.

I once found the most beautiful table linen at a car boot, it has embroidered swatikas all around the edge, turned out it was part of an SS officers dinner linen.

I had the same problem and couldn't sell on ebay, but found a 2nd World war re-enactment group in Sheffield that bought it from me.

That I know but is now a symbol linked to the holocaust and Nazi Germany and is therefore deemed unacceptable on ebay.

I fear the union flag/jack will be the next symbol to be banned due to it's association with the BNP.

Every time I hear the term "Political Cortrectness", I find solace in a Bernard Manning joke!

Great idea! Thanks! I'll look into that when I my other ebay listings have finished - I'm about listed out for now!

When it suits ebay, I bought this on ebay in the last month.

That's pretty obviously not a swastika in a Nazi context though. Not quite in the league of a swastika on the cover of Mein Kampf, so can understand how it'd get through.
