Sustain a conversation with your kid about the real Nazis--but that requires some knowledge which some folks don't have, which is the fault of education, not toys.<br /><br />Stories, movies, etc. "teach" our kids to fear monsters, unreal things, over-the-top smash-bang-drool-slash Uber-villans.

There is no legitimate question the they were evil and a threat to civilization, without parallel.<br /><br />After the Great war people were horrified by the los of life and treasure. they discovered tha the enemy was not evil.<br /><br />After the WWII people discovered that the allied propaganda was not bad enough to describe what really happened.<br /><br />I beleive that in some countries in Europe any Nazi symbols are illegal.
