Art Deco had a specific futuristic bent which the Nazis might have wanted to tap into, given the glorious future, under the auspices of National Socialism, that they were keen to promote.<br /><br />Whether justified or not, the sylised eagle symbolism has come to be associated with the Nazis. It's likely (well, I hope it is) that whoever designed this stamp was unaware of such associations. I'm no philatelist, but maybe there was an earlier stamp (from the Art Deco period) which used this design.<br /><br />True story: A rollercoaster was built on the Pier in Brighton a few years back. They wanted to give it a cool, futuristic name, so they chose - apparently at random with no idea as to the word's other usage - Zyklon. When informed that was a brand of nerve gas used in the concentration camps, they hurriedly renamed it.<br /><br />I saw a program a while back about Nazi architecture, which included some obvious Art Deco touches; I'll try to see if I can dig up a few examples. I recommend reading William Gibson's short story "The Gernsback Continuum" (from the collection <i>Burning Chrome</i>, among others), it's all about the dangers of Art Deco architecture. 8) <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Nim Pim</b> <br /><small>Member # 205</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2002,2,21,1,52,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">March 21, 2002</span> <span class="timeformat-0">01:52 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Dudes, it's not that complicated.
