Why is so much effort being spent defending a Nazi symbol?

194. I appreciate your attention and thoughtful reply

The Battle of Midway has always fascinated me and I have studied it ad absurdum. There was just a recent, significant anniversary for your father. I am glad he survived and thus you are with us.

My foundational education created an interest in WW2 both Pacific and Europe. I fancy myself somewhat of an amateur historian of the era so I am not surprised if I am aware of something others are not. (Not a boast, my knowledge of WW1 is woeful outside of the Red Baron) I have been surprised however by how many people are unaware of the use of the Totenkopf. Yet, as one person told me longer ago than I like to think about- There is no shame in ignorance, it means you haven't learned something and that can be fixed.

To lighten the thread here is a humorous "education"-
