MungoPark, I read the laws on the display of Nazi symbols, and of things pertaining to the German military in the Second World War. The Nazi symbols are allowed to be used if they are used in historical context, such as in a museum, a documentary, a historical model or in reference work, such as say a website dealing with uniforms from the period. The symbols are legal in all countries, including Germany, if they are in historical context.

If I used the symbol on say for instance a biker jacket, or a modern car, or on an Orc or a Space Marine, then those symbols would be illegal.

In this case the symbols are used on what are hoped to be accurate uniforms from the period. They are in no way promoting Nazism, Fascism, racism or any other ideology, and the intended use is for historical pictures and animations.

If the user used these uniforms and/or symbols in a non-historical context, or to promote these ideologies, the user would be the one creating illegal pictures, not the maker of the uniform.

I hope this clears up this issue.
