I know that it is illegal to make Nazi salutes or wear anything associated while in Germany, what are the implications for wearing anything with the RAF symbol on it, could local police see it as inflammatory????

I doubt it. There's a big difference between the RAF and what Hitler tried/partially succeeded to do/in doing.

 

I really don't see why we should be getting in to this after such a fantastic weekend for British Speedway. :blink:

The RAF were stationed in Germany up until a few years back.The RAF symbol is not banned or even seen as inflammatory

 

And it is typical Shovlar,trying to get some negatives from a great weekend for British speedway :)

 

And look at the main german speedway site to see what they put.....here :)

Fantastic link! Nice to see that the Germans didn't care after all - sorry to disappoint you, Mr Shovlar. ;) Perhaps it's time to close this thread now. :)

Seems many on here didn't read the first post clearly. Where have I said he should drop the name "bomber"?

 

I asked the question, should he drop the name "Bomber", but didn't say I thought he should.

 

The purpose of this thread was debate. Whether people on here thought he should or should not keep it.

 

Nothing more. And as for Iris rying to score some points against me, well madam you will have to try harder than that! :lol:

In these times of political corretness, is it time for Chris Harris to drop his nickname?

 

The final GP this year is in Germany, and I am sure many Germans still have memories of the tactics used by Bomber Harris in the second world war. Carpet bombing of cities, causing fire storms and the deaths of thousands of women and children.

 

Whilst in this country Bomber Harris is a popular wartime figure, using the same strategy oday would surely see him up for war crimes.

 

Imagine if there was a German rider called Herman "SS" Himmler?

Think thats just answered your previous question!

Why raise something if you don't think it was an issue? :rolleyes:

Thanks for the link iris. For those that didn't follow the link, the Germans refer to Chris Harris as Bomber Harris in their link to the GP results. :approve:
