I guess it's like having a cache with a Union or Confederate flag on the cache. 
 It's all a history lesson, good, bad or indifferent. I think people are too 
concerned in being "politically correct" that they fear the consequences of 
being stereotyped as a bad person.  My advice - add a little history lesson to 
the cache page and go for it.  The find logs will speak for themselves.

Hello, all...

I have a question...I am currently creating a puzzle cache. The basic premise 
is that some disgruntled ex-Nazis plan to kidnap Sir Winston Churchill after 
delivering his "Sinews of Peace" (Iron Curtain) speech in Fulton, MO. 
Basically, it's up to the cacher to decipher the clues to get to a container 
left for the ex-Nazis to enact their plan before they do. The container is the 
final cache location. 

To keep with the theme, I found an eagle/swastika stencil kind of like the one 
used in "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and was planning on using it to decorate the 
final cache container. The final container will be inside another container 
that will be locked by a combination lock, so it will not be seen by anyone 
that is not meant to find it.

So I ask...would such markings be offensive to you if you were to find the 
cache?
