That alone does not mean it breaks German law, no. It does break German law in more ways than one because free speech in Germany is qualified by a number of lesser laws prohibiting hate speech and incitement of the people against others. And the display of the swastika in it is definitely unlawful in Germany, but that is because of the context in which it appears and the intent of the display, not merely because of the symbol itself. (Just to clarify a bit, since I have the impression that a lot of Americans think this aspect of German law is much broader than it really is, to the point that some think it censorship. It is no more so than the prohibition from yelling “fire!” in a crowded place.) Regards, -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/>
