Poster that came in the other day

[oldflagswanted]

information past and present ???

To your point:
What are the credentials of the Wikipedia fact checker? ...
...published books are not enough to be considered "the truth."
To my point:
...Wikipedia is not peer reviewed , nor academic.
...Wikipedia is not cited by academics of any profession.
...I wish it could be so easy to get quality info. But it is not.

Michael:
Interesting comments, with some points well taken.
I recall as a kid, research paper service coupons that
came along with the purchase of our encyclopedia set.
I was sad when those coupons were all used up. To this
day I still have a now vintage set of the Britannica near
by, but I do delight in the ease of now finding information
via the Internet. For instance this thread went 18 posts
before a simple google.com search found the 1960 date
of the poster in question. Likewise, I regularly delight in
reading Wikipedia information about many questions that
I have, especially about Hollywood movies and actors. And
I'm well satisfied with the quality of the Wikipedia sources
cited for that material, enough to link same to some of my
6K+ WAF postings. In that regard IMO to each their own.

PS/ Food for thought..."PAST IMPERFECT..." (ISBN 0-8050-2759-4).
From a review cited on Wikipedia: "Everyone is entitled to his own
opinion, but not to his own facts." – quoted in Robert Sobel's review
of Past Imperfect: History According to the Movies, M.C. Carnes editor.

No idea ETN...but as I wrote:
don't expect much from Wikipedia .It is not a trustworthy source. Everything on it must be checked for veracity...something harder to do than type in Wikipedia on your browser. It entails some actual research.

Hence the caveat of "IF" in my original post.

All true enough. Back to the poster though. I still find it strange that the poster would take this form (swaz, SS, blood flag etc) to prove the "anti" case. Why the extra details that would remind one of the old days in such an "appealing" way (apart from the faces obviously)? Still it is what it is. Very interesting and some great detective work. Thanks all.

For most people in Germany in 1960 or today, regalia bearing the swastika or SS runes is not regarded as appealing; rather, the opposite is true.
