A photograph of the original pledge of allegiance to the flag of the USA was banned in a sale on Ebay.  As explanation for the ban of America's heritage, Ebay cited it's policy against items related to Nazism.  The historic photo and the Ebay letter are at http:// rexcurry.net/pledgeban.html

Some questions are raised by ebay's actions and there are no clear answers from Ebay's letter -

Is Ebay acknowledging that the U.S.'s original pledge of allegiance (which originally used a straight-arm salute) was the origin of the Nazi salute? (as exposed by the historian Rex Curry at http://rexcurry.net/pledgesalute.html     Additional eye-popping photos are at http://rexcurry.net/ pledge2.html

Does Ebay believe that historic photographs of America's original pledge violate laws in countries that ban Nazi depictions? (Selling or displaying Nazi artifacts is illegal in France. Germany is similar. In other words, is the U.S. pledge a Nazi artifact? Is it illegal to display/sell historic photographs of the original USA pledge in France and/or Germany? Montag
