Did I see a Nazi flag waving in the Germany broadcast of Live8?
It was black, with white print. 'Nazi' was at the bottom of the flag, beneath some sort of logo. I couldn't read what was above the logo.

Someone was waving it pretty excitedly, so I'm hoping it wasn't a traditional Nazi statement. Did anyone see this?

1. Anyone waving an actual Nazi flag in Germany would be arrested
It's illegal to display Nazi emblems or even to sell Nazi paraphernalia in Germany.

2. Really? That's good to know! Way to go Germany!
I've GOT to go there...

I guess it wasn't 'classic Nazism' in that case. Maybe it was some play on Nazi like 'music nazi' or 'band nazi' or some such thing. It was just a little jarring to read a sign that said Nazi anything and see them in Germany if you kwim?

Thanks for the info!
:hi:
