I would expect that the reasons include the probable
interdiction of -
- Holocaust denial and anti-Semitism often put
out under the guise of trade in war artifacts
- the trade in Nazi, fascist and Stalinist items (if not
the latter then there should be)
- illegal and restricted weaponry
Some countries limit the export of historical items like
medals without there being an offer made to local buyers, so maybe it's easier
to generally prevent the offer.
There are other reasons I'm sure, many of which might not
stand up to notions of free trade, but that's the conundrum and the wonder of
the internet.

Subject: [MOPO] WWII items mystery partly
solved
Well, this is still strange, but as has been suggested, seems
to be a
browser related issue. I tried the same searches wioth
Internet Explorer,
and everything worked fine. It's Safari--another
browser that comes with
Mac OS 10--that has this strange restriction on all
WWII Militaria
collectibles, at least when I try to get to them. I'm not
even a WII
collector--just stumbled into this phenomenon while trying to
look at the
image of one poster. --Tom
"Dear

The question is,
Why?
