He never told me that the US soldiers used German flags as grease

What do you think about using the stars and stripes flag as a grease
rag to wipe the dipstick of my Kettenkrad?

Sorry Andreas but I think you are way out of line here. Now, it would be
disrespectful for any American, Brit or whoever to use a modern day German
national flag as a grease rag and it would be foolish for anyone nowadays to
destroy a valueable collectors item Nazi flag in this way. But as far as
threatening to desecrate an
American flag in this way especially in defense of the stinkin' Nazis is just
asking for a load of trouble and an MV list clogged with off topic garbage.
