Nazi memorabilia is not cool. If you hold your nose and look on the internet, you can find flags, T-shirts and bumper stickers commemorating the Third Reich on sale at outlets that also sell pagan-themed cigarette lighters and Ku Klux Klan regalia. But no reputable retailer would stock such merchandise.
It would be reasonable to assume that the symbols of the murderous, totalitarian Soviet regime should be shunned too. Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin were allies until the Nazi regime’s surprise attack on the Soviet Union in 1941. In the infamous Molotov-Ribbentrop pact of August 1939 the two regimes carved up the map of Europe between them, consigning a large slice of the continent to the meat-grinder. An internet search provides pictures of the Nazi and Soviet forces cheerfully parading and saluting each other over the corpse of Poland.
