No pocon1, I get your point. I think you missed mine. That pic does not represent the Nazi regime. It represents two German soldiers. The only time it represents the whole of the Nazi experience is to you (and others of similar mindset, of course). The point I was making was that the picture is, in itself, rather neutral. It is the subjective content that you (or others, again) add to it that you have a problem with. It is not a pic of Jewish prisoners. It is not a pic of Waffen SS. It is not a pic of a Swastika, Hitler, or Hitler Youth. It is only Nazi because you see it as Nazi.
Still, reread my post. As I said, I did not post initially because my first reactive was as subjectively loaded as your is. I am not saying that your viewpoint and inability to remove subjective impressions are incorrect. I was sympthizing. I am just saying that the pic is not particularly evocative politically. I felt the desire to defend the average soldier, as I do not blame him.
