You can get a box trailer upgrade for the model X that can transport 'livestock' on the cheap, called the model X-terminate

The Swasticar Wankpanzer is 100% something he would call the truck if his sycophant followers jokingly suggested it.

Brave protest. Pretty sure Nazi imagery is illegal in Germany. Somebody correct me if I’m wrong
Making the German state officially state that this is Nazi imagery would be a worthwhile win lol.
I'm pretty sure they have explicitly come out and said that the gesture was what we all know it to be. I'm sure the Internet can verify it for you though
Not sure about anyone from the government much less in an official function but e.g. the Zeit used the title "A Hitler salute is a Hitler salute is a Hitler salute", and the rest of the press isn't any more ambiguous, either.
lol didn’t even think of that
Holy shit nice
Freedom of art in that regard. The only illegal thing might be to project something to the factory
Nope it's legal. §303 StGB:
Whoever, without being authorised to do so, substantially and permanently alters the appearance of an object belonging to another [...]
Projections are far from permanent. What I'm blanking on right now is whether cleaning something is captured under that wording, I vaguely remember them discussing changing it, dunno if they have. If a wall is dirty enough you can make a great graffito with nothing but a pressure washer.
Is that a thing in Germany? Genuinely asking
Yes. You can even use a swastika if the intend is clear. For example a figure throwing it into a trashcan.
I'm not a lawyer, but the word "Heil" ist not forbidden and Also its a picture of something relevant that happened. So in my opinion the Art itself is not illegal. Only the projection onto the building.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Appreciate the insight!
You're welcome :)
There's plenty of "fair use" cases which would allow it.
§86a STGB allows for the use of "symbols of anti-constitutional organizations" in cases of:
- art (e.g. the movie "Downfall")
- scientific research
- education
- news or other broadcast (covering Nazi Protests in the US for example, German news station don't have to censor the Swastika flags or the like)
And probably applying in this case - in protesting said anti-constitutional organizations, for example a crossed out Swastika as a form of protest against Nazis is still very much legal.
Most important is the intent. If you plan to use those symbols with the intent of furthering the ideology of anti-constitutional organizations, it is probably forbidden. The intention has to be clearly against those organizations, otherwise it might be actionable.
Btw the communist party of Germany, the KPD is also considered an anti-constitutional organization and therefore it's symbols are forbidden in the same way.

It is with few exceptions. Given that it looks like the purpose is to call out a Nazi supporter I think they wouldn't get in trouble for that though.
