The German members of IW can speak to this better than I can, but Germany has done its best to eradicate not only the last vestiges of Hitler, but of the Nazi movement as well. It's illegal to sell or promote Nazi-related things in Germany, which eBay and other auction sites have discovered presents a challenge.

By leaving a giant swastika in the trees, they're leaving a symbol of that which they're trying to eliminate. So it has to go... along with any other such symbols that they might find.

Killing a person is easy. Killing an idea is hard. If you want proof, and treading as lightly as possible around forbidden subjects, consider the actions of a certain Jewish carpenter's son from a few years ago. He was only in the forefront of things for about three years, according to related texts... and his ideas have had quite an impact since then.
