is it strange to collect Nazi relics?

No, it's not strange if you COLLECT them. If you wear the uniforms and get erections from doing it, THAT'S strange.

That depends heavily on the reason for collecting.

Collecting so you can one day resurrect a Greater German Reich as it's head would be concerning. Even then it's not directly related to the idea of collecting relics.

It's not like the cops apply to manage the large pile of cocaine in the evidence room are all addicts

I think WWII and Nazi artifacts are absolutely fascinating. It'd be very cool to collect Nazi memorabilia. ^^ I say go for it~ It's a unique piece of history, even if you, like I, believe that Hitler was a horrible, evil person.

no it is not strange at all, people are naturally drawn to evil and the idea of terrible murders and acts. Why do you think folks love horror films so much? People never like to admit this fact, and people love to claim that humans are decent creatures who all hate evil, but even those who despised Hitler and others like him, often times still want to collect memorbilia and items from that time and activity, if nothing else just to remember. And some people even think it wasn't all that terrible, tho not a one of those guys would admit that fact out loud. Then there are people like myself, who are interested in history no matter if it was good or negative, evil or positive, and the fact of where it came from means nothing, its history. I have in my lifetime known both sides of the fence, in people who collect items from terrible atrocities of the past, out of history, curiosity, and just like you having a piece of it in your hands. As well as people who actually agreed with the evil and liked to hold evil related items in their hands. Either way , no matter what you personally think, you are correct to like it. People really need to stop judging others based on their own fears and opinions,or stop assuming everyone who is interested in something like that is automatically in agreement with the man who did the awful actions. Because thats simply untrue.If deep inside you actually do agree with Hitler, that is still your own business, even if you are not free to express that opinion openly these days. And if deep inside you hate Hitler and all he stood for and did, you still have every right to collect items he owned or had, or from Germany at the time.
