I could not show it in Germany with the flag on bow and stern because the political opinion is that if somebody sees it, he or she turns immediately into a Nazi. Fortunately this medically unsupported theory has no meaning outside of Germany - I live in the United States and there it is no problem at all. As a writer of books about orders and medals of the Third Reich and a historian I learned that denying or covering up history has no effect at all other than making the "cover uppers" look very stupid, especially in the age of the Internet!
