Nazi movers???

Sign in to disble this ad
I was driving home to the suburbs to spend the holidays with my family when I was on the off ramp and noticed this sign. Is it just me, or are these "movers" blatantly using nazi SS lightning bolts on their sign? I could understand it if it was just one S, but the 2 make it kind of peculiar.

What do you think?

the sign...


Nazi SS symbol

I'm hoping it's just ignorance- that would catch my eye, but I'm a comparatively* knowledgeable military history buff(particularly WW-II).

*Compared, I think, w/the average US citizen

Not that I've ever heard that was confirmed by the band. I know that in Europe their logo is different to change the SS resemblance.

I'd be willing to bet they just thought the SS looked cool, so they decided to use it, not knowing what it really meant.
