Nazi Germany and modern Germany are separated by 55 years of history.  So?
The number of years between the two time eras means nothing.  Should we
forget the slaughtering perpetrated by Genghis Khan because it happened in
the Middle Ages?  "Oh, that was such a long time ago.  No one's around
who was alive back then."
     Perhaps Nazi Germany will suddenly become "OK" when the last person
born before 1945 dies?

(BTW, your statement is factually incorrect, even if you're rounding
off to one significant digit.)

The Soviet Union flag is still in there.  Half the protests stemmed from
posting the Nazi Germany national flag.
