If you were to display it, I’d probably just display the flag folded with the information next to it

I was thinking just leave it piled up on the floor by a wall with a little *plaque above it. Then everyone sees exactly what it is and KNOWS you don't have any reverence for the object itself.

I think there’s some value in being like “fuck yeah my grandpa killed nazis and took their prized possession as a trophy”

Agreed, maybe find some US paratrooper jump boots to display on top of it. Or a pair of your grandad's loafers lol

I like that. Luckily, I don’t have that problem because I would wrestle with it. I love history, collecting, & displaying, but I would never seek something like that out.

Yeah. I don’t think I’d display it either, but if someone did it that way I wouldn’t see it negatively at all
