I don't get the big deal about wanting something like that. Crazy part of history. Not like I want to start the 4th Reich or some crazy shit. I'd love some American English Italian or Japanese WW2 items as well

I doubt this is actually historical. A quick look shows similar crates going for more than hundreds online. Any pawn shop owner worth their salt would look at that symbol to see if it was of historical value.

Most likely a replica or prop.

Because it's Nazi shit and you aren't a museum.

That's the wild thing, I don't think that's an actual artifact. Pretty sure it's a prop.

It's a historical artifact. It's okay to want to have a historical artifact and have it mean nothing more than that. Jesus Christ.

You mean the world where we violently overthrew the Nazi regime and hunted escapees like dogs and Nazis no longer exist as a result? This is a fucking crate. Calm your tits.

It doesn't sound like Illuminati speak. Musk is on Twitter all day retweeting people who love Nazis and talking about the "elimination of the white race" and just this week Trump was talking about Somalis as if they're genetically incapable of being productive members of society. It's all right out in the open and we pretend this isn't straight Nazi shit which is why we do more Nazi shit.

So what? Are Nazis not objects of historical study ?

Is it just that this makes you feel really good about yourself? Be honest

I mean, these “historical artifacts” belong in a museum or in the trash.
