Love me some NCIS but never a watch-spotter before. Now I have to rewatch every episode and look at them.
It really is a fraught question. I am plenty old enough to be anti-Nazi no matter what decade we're talking 😉, and I love history so I get the whole war-trophy thing. And now knowing that the OP lives in Europe, that adds to availability, but also gives a slightly different spin to possible Neo-Nazi origins of the piece. All of that said, it is probably a post-war unit reunion piece created before German veterans were properly ashamed of the Nazi part of their war service. 🫤 (Though I think all Germans by the Fifties knew the SS were bad.) And all this from a watch! How I love history. 🤓
Why isn't everyone's first question, "Why does your friend have Nazi memorabilia and why are you still friends?" Especially when this isn't Nazi memorabilia, per se, but a post-war white supremacy propaganda piece?
