For a moment I thought that you spelled the name wrong, but it seems like there's a country called "unit G" with the exact same flag.

The Swastika was origonally a Buddist/Hindu good luck symbol but with names like paridise of the German army i doubt you have the context mistaken. By the way you have excellent English.

Well, this is how the religious symbols are treated (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=9670772&postcount=6). But any discussion is supposed to go on in this thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=438053) ;)

I meant "even as a german" like being used to people of totally obnoxius political standing..and yes, germans should be specially sensitive about their past
