I love the idea of some Greek guy desperately stitching together a Nazi flag specifically for the purpose of burning it.

Given Germany's laws against displaying Nazi memorabilia, can they even show photos of this event?  The swastika-ban always puzzled me.

I totally agree with burning the current German flag, it's a crime against aesthetics.  Bring back the Black-White-Red Imperial flag.

I would imagine they can, given that ANTIFA logos showing swastikas being struck out or thrown in dumpsters were declared legal not that long ago. Germany isn't as completely indifferent to context as some people think here. As for your second point, I agree. It's very unfortunate that neo-Nazis and Anarchists (or both) have such a monopoly on aesthetically pleasing symbols.
