If they are buried in a National Cemetery, they most likely defected and brought secrets with them. Look at Werner von Braun and men like him - they contributed greatly to the US war effort and our post war efforts to control communism.
America as a whole is far too eager to apply our current morality to the past, with no historical background.
Leave it be.
I thought they were POWs who was imprisoned in the States who died of natural causes in the POW camp.
Confederate soldier graves, monuments, and symbols should be left alone as well.
Yes, Yezhov being erased is a good example.
To the left, removing swastikas and other symbols is to make us forget who the left really is, what the believe, and most of all what they intend.
“The world is not right unless the left is wailing in pain.”
I like that. It is so true!
Traveling in South Korea in the 1950s, I often over-nighted at Buddhist monasteries where I knew I could stay for practically nothing. The monasteries’ locations were indicated on the map with swastikas.
That little guy on the far right fell out of favor. So he never existed.

Actually he was beamed up between frames to the NCC-1701 were he assumed duty as ships pilot, then later moved on to work as a Class 10 telepath for the Psi Corp.
But you’ll limit the placing of Confederate battle flags on the graves of Confederate soldiers buried in National Cemeteries

The Dept of VA is not permitting the Boy Scouts to plant American flags on Vet’s graves (due to some disease).
Yes leave the dead alone.
This reminds me of what Germany has done. They barred the display of any Nazi symbols and, basically, any discussion of that part of their history. If you talk about Nazism there in front of the wrong people, you can wind up arrested. They don’t have uninhibited free speech rights there.
It happened, and no matter what, that won’t change. Those soldiers died fighting for the Reich, most likely something that believed in strongly. It should just be left alone. Removing the symbols won’t solve anything, and would only serve to dumb down the populace.
My grandfather was shot 17 times in WWI and left for dead on the battlefield. The Germans found him and saved his life, actually putting a plate in his head.
During WWII he would not allow anyone in his family to say anything bad about the German people. He would remind people that Hitler was an Austrian and was to be hated. But NOT the Germans,
I think Hitler adopted it because of it's eastern mysticism connections. Hitler would fit right in with modern "new age" pseudo pagans.
“I said years ago “The world is not right unless the left is wailing in pain.”
So, you don’t think we’ll ever be able to eradicate leftism once and for all?
OMFG, mofo’ing people and their need for historical revisionism.
Wish they would take all their collective sensibilities and shove them up their own arses!
Nope. That’s why I’m a Christian.
It’s pretty bad in Germany. I know some Germans, one of them told me he had the police called on him because he was playing the Königgrätzer Marsch in public and offended somebody.
The police fortunately didn’t do anything since it’s not illegal, but it’s a pretty sad testament of how things are over there.
I bet that's a lie and the group is the usual evil Freedom From Religion group that makes money from donors by threatening lawsuits everywhere they can find a cross or religious art on government property.
