It doesn't need to be flown to remember history.

Case in point, World War 2 and the Nazi regime are still well known, and always will be.  There are historical collectors who own actual Nazi flags as a piece of history, and they are not racist or Nazi because they own historical artifacts.  But if they are proudly flying those flags, do you think they are just trying to say they want history remembered?  No.  Those who are actually flying Nazi flags are doing so in support of that ideology.  And for those doing it out of pride, it is again pride in that ideology.  And these are historical artifacts we are talking about, which is not what is being displayed.  These are modern productions, not artifacts.  So it is not a matter of preserving the memory of history.
