Several years ago Britain issued a set of stamps commemorating the Battle of Britain. Someone objected to the depiction of a swastika on the tail of a German plane. One veteran replied, “It wouldn’t have been much of a show if they hadn’t shown up”.

LOL!.......reminds me of the story of a British Airways pilot coming into one of Berlin’s two airports. He was advised by the tower to take a certain approach to a particular runway.

There was some confusion in the instructions and the tower finally said, “Have you not been to Berlin before?”

The British Airways pilot replied, “Just once, about thirty years ago. But I didn’t stay long.”...................

Forget historical accuracy. Politically correct activists must be appeased. I’ve noticed over the years that on the box covers of model kits of German warplanes of WW2 that the swastikas on the tails of the planes were replaced by black crosses like those on the fuselages. Probably the same for n the actual kits.
