The other night "Christmas Tales -story of the tree" showed some Nazi branded christmas tree decorations.
I never knew they existed. For obvious reasons, I would imagine that most were destroyed. Any that remain would probably be worth a fortune.
But who would dare put them on their tree!!!

Nazis.
Hitler, Goebbels, Dr Mengale?
An angel surely ... blonde hair and all that?
Lemmy.
Himmler was very similar...
Were these actual Nazi decorations from that period , if so then maybe they were some remenants from this story

and turned up boxes of Nazi-era Christmas decorations complete with swastikas and grenades
The mirror image of a swastika is, apparently, a native american symbol that's been around for thousands of years.
People often see that and assume some nazi influence.
The publican was very odd and when I moved to the back of the pub to find a table I noticed that all the tinsel on the wall was in the shape of swastikas and then on closer inspection there was other nazi memorabilia about
I drunk up sharpish and left
Well, I never expected to agee with something the Nazi's tried to implement. You learn something new every day.

Possibly.
They were shown in the segment of the programme that was talking about Christmas tree decorations during the war.
If anyone's interested, the programme was on the BBC, so it will probably be on the BBCi player.
Not only was it celebrated with the old pagan traditions but it gave Goebbels, Goering & co the chance to get out and smile for the cinema news whilst giving gifts to little blonde children.
I think the native americans used it comparitively recently. However you are right to say that it has been around for thousands of years. According to wiki, there is physical evidence of its existence from neolithic times.
Goering's were very,very small
But Goebbels had no baubles at all!!
But whos were in the Albert Hall?
Now say that fast as you can 5 times.
It would sound like you had plums in your mouth..
Or mistaken for a Turkey.
65 today! Happy Birthday!
The swastika used to appear on the title page of books by Rudyard Kipling, and on the banners Boy Scouts used to march under. It's simply a good luck symbol.
