Who cares, it's a cheap piece of plastic. Just toss it in the trash and call it a day. Jeebus people are sensitive.

This is stupid. It's a friggin toy. I had toy cars and airplanes that had the Nazi swastika on them. What else would a scale toy BF 109 have for a paint scheme?

Also, what if it was a hammer and sickle? Or a red star? The Chinese and the Russians are just as guilty of genocide as are Americans. Read about the massacre at Wounded Knee.

Liberal twit is an idiot.

Can't imagine.

Oh, wait.

That makes no sense.

Who the fuck would be mass producing nazi gear in the 21st century?
Sure as shit not the Germans.

It would be really interesting to know the story behind it. The bird looks more western hemisphere(Aztec?) than German, but it does get pretty close to the eagle/swastika combo that was officially used. If it weren't for that, I'd chalk it up to a misguided Asian.

I wanted to see if it was based off a historic example, so I image searched "nazi ring". Holy shit there's a lot of Nazi rings out there! I didn't find this one in a few pages of searching though(aside from the linked pic)

This one is kind of close, but it reminds me of Sam the Eagle from the Muppets:

Is that a real ring or a replica? What company makes Nazi rings?

Peacock Blossom Panda Nazi Ring Company, People's Republic of China



The folks making them probably have no more clue about why they make them than they know why they make yodeling pickles.

Isin't that eagle pose used a lot by US agency logos as well, and the nazi symbol can also mean peace.

Maybe the ring is about freedom and peace. :awe:

They bought cheap shit from a foreign country that does not understand the significance of that ring.

yep. It's a dollar store. They sell unwanted, mistake shit that get's pooped directly in the dustbin of the manufacturing plant.

I gotta say, though...that is a rather hilarious find. :D

One of those is an actual paint scheme. The Italian one because what? Oh that's right, the Italians allied with the Germans during WWII. The other two are fan boy artwork from flight simulators you cholo.

The majority of the Messerschmitts produced came in German livery. Thank you for being obtuse though.

I will say it again though. It's a friggin toy. Who didn't play war when they were a kid? You're the Axis and we are the Allies, bang bang you're dead German! Shit, they even put this crap in video games and make money off it. I didn't hear your panties ride up when Call of Duty World at War was released. Or Wolfenstein.

The mother definitely overreacted but we don't know what her background is.

Why does her background matter? Is there a background that makes it ok to berate someone who had nothing to do with the cause of the incident?

How does something like that get made originally? Was someone in the ideas department of a cheap toy manufacturer in china just scrolling through random pictures on the internet and came across it? Looks like it's meant to be reminiscent of a Luftwaffe ring. There are lots of variations on the eagle and swastika logo, but the general shape and adornment around the logo matches pretty well.

This was the closest thing I found that is supposedly an authentic reproduction.
