There was a traveling exhibt a number of years ago that included several of these banners. Also included were Goering's scorched uniform and other items taken from the bunker in Berlin. The exhibit traveled to, among other places, San Diego, CA where I saw it. There was much concern about neo-nazi types trying to venerate these items and the exhibit was arranged to thwart this- along with strict security. The banners were displayed thrown on the ground in a heap. A nazi eagle from the stadium at Nuremburg was on the ground as it would have fallen. It was a very powerful exhibit and I have never forgotten it. The fairly tacky items from the bunker were all the more powerful in underlining the banality of evil.

Well at this end of the world, it doesn't mean anything more than what it meant before. In other words: not much

Merci! :thumbsup
There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight
The Who, Won't get fooled again
