The era of world history covered by the board's focus includes many political ideologies, some with more than unfortunate consequences.
This board in no way supports the political doctrines of Fascism, Nazism or Communism.
Discussions of these political subjects, except as they directly impact the accurate depiction of the military forces of the era, are not acceptable here.
This is not intended to imply or convey that unfortunate events such as the mistreatment and even execution of POWs did not occur, to use that as an example, but rather to maintain the board's focus on those who served their respective countries with honor.

The use of the images of criminal individuals (whether convicted or having evaded conviction by death or other means) or the symbols associated with criminal organizations, as board personal photos, avatars or personal signatures is not
allowed. This includes Swastikas, or portraits of individuals like Hitler, Himmler or Heydrich for example.
The above rule does not disallow the depiction of proper insignia on Waffen SS combat troops within a historical figure context, just bars the adoption of such as personal standards here.
Slogans or mottos associated with criminal organizations such as the nazi party are not acceptable here either as member "handles" nor in personal signatures used here.
If you are unsure about a particular subject, slogan or image's suitability, please consult the board staff.
