It’s sure odd that 800 jewish doctors, nurses and patients survived the war in the “Krankenaus der Judischen Gemeinde” (‘Hospital of the Jewish Community’ ) in Berlin in spite of numerous attempts to seize the buildings and grounds and deport everyone therein because Eichmann (must’ve been having an ‘off-day’ from being the red eye of Sauron) had them under his protection.
That said, I don’t see heck of a lot of difference between any personality item collected from this period be it Hitler’s visor, Himmler’s collar tabs or the weapons themselves used to defend the Reich (kill our troops) ~ all these items of militaria are simply ‘history’. It’s we who make them “political” or not by assigning subjective interpretations to them.

just over the surface as usually
Originally posted by Rick C View PostLet’s see if I have this right ~ there’s a “difference” between collecting “political items” and seeking out items “from concentration camp doctors or staff.” With respect, Eichmann wasn’t on any concentration camp staff, he was a member of the Security Service, an intelligence agency for the police ~ a ‘clerk’ who made his bones in the agency meeting with Haganah (precursor to the Israeli Defense Forces) in Palestine attempting to arrange the immigration of Jews from Germany to Palestine. Eventually, under RSHA (still essentially a cop) with a rank of Lieutenant Colonel (certainly not a big shot) we’re to believe he became Sauron, far nastier or more ‘evil’ a guy than his boss, Müller, a Gruppenführer who made far more ‘executive decisions’ than this ‘lite’ colonel.
