#1 Whew. Maybe that'll fly in Skokie, but that's pretty raw for Munich.

I bike a lot, and my rides take me through zillions of little German towns. Every one has a perfectly maintained cemetery, each of which has a section with prominent WWI memorials. The war dead Germans are allowed to lament.

Gravestones from WWII, on the other hand, appear to be deliberately overgrown. Just yesterday, I picked through the brush and found several soldiers' markers; one said, "died for the Fuehrer and the Fatherland."

Funny, if the Fuehrer hadn't been such a batshit micromanager, they mighta made it.

#2 Dummies. If they had entitled it "Pro-Palestinian" or "Moslem Pride" day, they could have had the exact same banners and such and they could have gotten away with it.
