What the fuck? It's a piece of history, and an antique. The shop did nothing wrong here

The only person who is paying almost $6000 for a Nazi uniform is a very dedicated Neo-Nazi.

It's not as clear cut as you might think. I have a collection of military antiques, and nazi stuff is sought by a lot of that community and is quite pricey.

It's more rare than the allies stuff due to how much was destroyed. Most of the stuff in Canada comes from war souvies (taken by Canadian soldiers off dead bodies, captured soldiers emplacements, or units)

Neo Nazis buy this stuff, but not everyone who has antiques from the third reich are fascist.

Oh ya I own a coin minted in Nazi Germany in 1941, and I honestly would think it’s cool to own a uniform, but I also think that almost $6000 is way too much and only really dedicated people would buy it, and in today’s political and economic climate I can only see a dedicated Neo-Nazi spending that sort of money on something they can’t really display or wear.
