| There's been a few good examples of marketing in the last couple of years where people have used Nazi imagery, the swastika and others. Usually ends up in a media and public uproar and they get a ton of press. Any publicity is good publicity and all that. Not saying it's right. Certainly exploiting the events of 60+ years ago is disrespectful to those that suffered and died. I can understand their motives though.
I personally own a ton of WWII related domains, names of specific pieces of equipment, mostly armor and vehicles. A lot of them German.
I'm interested in WWII history. I own a collection of over 6,000 original black and white photographs, mostly German, because they liked to take photos and just about every German in the field had a camera whereas it was forbidden on the Allied side.
One day when I've got time I'll build out WWIIPhotography.com, WW2Photography.com, WWIIPhotographs.com and WW2Photographs.com and others I own.
I'll also build out micro sites for all the equipment URLs.
Why? Simply because I enjoy the history of this fairly recent time. I find it intriguing much like people who play WWII based games and who build WWII model kits, etc.
The name schutzstaffel.com being for sale isn't reason enough to lodge some complaint BTW. Someone could buy it and put up a historical information based site. The name itself isn't reason to be all up in arms, it's what it gets used for that should concern you. |
