This report on DW.com (Deutsche Welle) shows just how seriously Nazi symbols and the like are taken here in Germany.

I wrote previously in this thread (here) about the fact that Nazi symbols are banned in many countries. In German (and Austria) that includes Nazi salutes.

Well, now, a security steward at the European Athletics Championships in Munich has been arrested for making the Nazi salute.

If you are planning to come to Germany for a visit, don't make the salute while here, and if you are one of those strange people who have a swastika tattoo, cover it. Otherwise you may be arrested and fined.
