This time I decided to apologize
before someone says that I am "picking a fight"
with everybody:-)

One of my previous messages on this subject could
be interpreted that collecting a sextant (or anything else)
with a swastica automatically implies automatically some
sympaties to the Nazis.

This is wrong. After some thinking, I understood,
that some people can
feel
the same about "red star" or other Soviet symbols.

It is true, I would never buy a thing with a swastica
as a decoration for my home, but nevertheless, I would be
curious to see such a thing in a museum, or in a private
historical collection, and I have NO objection of putting
it there.

In other words, I withdraw my objections to people who
buy "genuine Kriegmarine memorabilia". I think this is
can be a legitimate business/hobby.

I understand this is again out of the scope of this list,
but I had to correct some of my previous messages on the subject.

Alex.
