I don’t think this is funny. The ship design is uninspired and
non-humorous. The Adolf Hitler fig isn’t very striking, nor is he funny
either. The description of your MOC is pretty plain, and not funny. The
only thing at all amusing is the shock factor, but once it wears off, theres
nothing else to keep my interest. Plus, I think this sort of thing
(especially that you publicized it soo much(1)) is bad press for the AFOL
community at large.

It is reminiscent of the fellow a few years back made Lego concentration camp
sets (created his own box artwork). TLG was appalled! Here in the USA we
see so many Nazi war movies, we sometimes become jaded to the horrors of the
past. But in Europe, they lived thru that nightmare. It is illegal to buy
and sell Nazi war memorabilia in Germany and other parts of Europe. Hence so
much of it has gone overseas.
By the way, the reverse swastika is actually an ancient Roman design. I
visited a Roman museum in Cologne Germany, and they had unearthed a Roman
mosaic with the reverse Swastika design.
I also find some Bible Lego diarama’s to be in somewhat poor taste as well.
I am just expecting one day to find a Sodom and Gomorrah Legoscape with
minifigs (NOT!).

Actually, I believe that both the forward and reverse swastika (I have heard the
reverse called a sylvastika) are both ancient symbols originating in india. The
symbol is found in both ancient Indian budhist and hindu artefacts, and is the
shape (from the air) of some types of temple.
