(Strafgesetzbuch section 86a) I think nobody could argue that the fact there is little connection between the 3rd Reich and antique samnites. Interestingly enough Hungary also ban under derogation the hammer and sickle, and the five-pointed red star. When working on german ww2 contents on my websites (tank encyclopedia & naval encyclopedia) the nazi flag's swatiska was replaced by a malta cross and i do have quite a sizeable german audience, only received recently one critic about historical accuracy of the flag ;)
