People have negative associations with the Confederate Battle Flag and the flag used by Nazi Germany during WW2. Here in the good old USA we have the freedom to display either flag to show our allegiances to the philosophy behind the display of each flag. Some agree and some disagree with what each flag represents.
The South still roils over the atrocities it suffered under the carpetbaggers and Union Army from the North. The Jews and Allies still have negative feelings over the atrocities committed during WW2.
