Is the devil a real thing?? Who knows...pure speculation.
The holocaust happened.
Ask a jew "what's the big deal". They find the swastika extremely offensive....for good reason.

It seems to me any time someone makes any kind of reference, at all, to the Nazi's it's perceived as though they are anti-semetic.
I personally believe it's just another hysterical overreaction in a PC world.
Yes, the Nazi's aren't cool, I'm sure Harry doesn't really emulate them. I don't find dressing up as a Nazi to a costume party to be a horribly offensive thing. Bad taste, sure, I wouldn't do it, probably, but at the end of the day, to me, a costume at a costume party is just that.

Gee, I wonder if you'll feel the same way if you were a Jewish person living in Poland in the 1930s. [/b][/quote]
Tons of bads things have happened in the course of human history, is any mention of something bad ever done by humans to one another supposed to be taboo because it might offend someone?
It's not like Harry wearing the outfit is an implicit endorsement of what the Nazi's stood for, no more than me dressing up as a Devil for a costume party is an endorsement of Satan and whatever he stands for.
