Why Pooh felt bad Whilst Walking; Or, The Evil Waffen SS in Korea?! Help Me! (Piglet)! Help!
Once upon a time I went for a balmy walk about in Jeju City. Or, if pronounced as a Korean, "Chayjew Shitee." Err anyhow I came upon a disturbing blazon. The Mark of heraldry for a now defunct organization of Elite Warriors. Namely the Waffen SS. Now let me make it clear: I DO NOT admire Hitler. He was arguably Demon Possessed. And, I would further add I think the 6 million plus Genocide of Jews and many others was a Evil that is beyond the written word to condemn. However, I did read a bit of the Biography of the German General Rommel and he did not seem wholly and purely EVIL like Adolph Hitler. But, then he was by his leadership with Hitler a Genocide Killer by default- and more than just nominally complacent in the Genocide. This web site argues differently. But, remember this is coming from the Internet. My information comes from books found at the library.

Erwin Rommel is one of the few commanders, who was not involved in any war crimes. Rommel was highly respected by his enemies and was considered to be the last of the knights. During the North African Campaign, Rommel often cut the water rations of his troop, so that the prisoners of war could survive. His personal papers and notes, all put together by Lucie-Maria Rommel and Fritz Bayerlein, titled "Rommel Papers" ("Krieg ohne Hass"), were published for the first time in 1950 and described all of Rommel's combat and personal experiences. In post-war years, Erwin Rommel's son Manfred became Mayor of the city of Stuttgart.

But, ahhh I went off on a tangent. I was thinking more in line with the Evil PC Room Sign in Jeju City. Right I saw it thus:

Pretty weird aye? I went up into this PC Room and explained to the guy sitting at the desk that his SS Bird Mascot was EVIL. But, he was too poor at English to comprehend. And, let's be fair- my Korean is woeful. Still it is unfortunate that any knowledgeable person who visits Jeju will think badly of it when they see this Wafflen SS Sign. That is most people- I suppose Nazi lovers would be happy to see it. Maybe I should write a letter to the owner explaining how his sign is offensive or have a Korean friend tell him for me. I don't know I suppose it's a free country, but still there are some symbols which only serve EVIL.
Yes well It's all about me. Oh is that pompous? No it's serving the bright eyed students smackerals of English. I'm Pooh! - teaching Ingles in Korea on the Paridiso of Jeju. And I'm your host Mr. Olepork um Mr. O'Rourke- No that's not my name.

what you saying is, 'similar' NOT the same as i see it.
the nazi party's schutzstaffel is 2 's' symbols, the both edges of letters are straight, and waffen-ss was one of SS, that was fighting units.
so many symbols and images are out there, and you should be more careful
