I'm all for the reclaiming.
I am actually very concerned by the trend of Germany, and Europe in general to outlaw the Swastika, or other signs and symbols of the NSDAP.
Reminds me far to much of Winston Smith carefully correcting the news.
It also makes it easier for the Holocaust deniers to deny things, if their existance is wiped away, piece by piece.

Absolutely. That's why some of the most valuable exhibits in the holocaust museums are the documents that verify a Nazi conspiracy to systematically murder Jews, gypsies, and other 'undesirables'. I notice those are some of the most prominently displayed items.
