Thought the swastika ban was just IL-2....

I saw this excellent image in a camera forum and thought it interesting that the tail symbol was exactly the same as in IL-2.

I'm pretty sure when I've seen axis warbirds in the UK they have the full symbol.

In some countries there is a ban on displaying the Swastika.

I think Russia is one of them.

 

In my eyes it´s time to lift this ban, first and foremost since it´s now almost 75 years since Nazi Germany was defeated, and secondly because those who wants to use for political reasons will do so nonetheless.

 

It has become part of a history we should not forget.

 

When looking on the pseudo swastica on the FW-190 everybody knows what's the meaning of it is.

But offcourse - as long as there are victim's who has bad feelings for it, we should all respect that.

I am not sure but I believe Germany got a ban or at least did. 

As I understand it the site ban on this symbol is of respect for some countries law not a policy in the site itself

In Germany it is prohibited by law

§ 86a Verwenden von Kennzeichen verfassungswidriger Organisationen

engl.: Use of symbols of unconstitutional organizations

Fines are prison up to three years or financial penalty. I guess it is similar in Russia.
