Don't know what the original language was and why the guns are there at the
end, but the whole thing is bizarre, so why not?
Original language was Japanese going by the URL, the guns are a German
MP 44 submachine assault rifle and Luger RP 08 Parabellum officer's
sidearm to match the camera which has a Property of the Germain Air
Force engraving as well as the eagle and swastika crest of the 3rd
Reich. Comes across a bit like a militaria collector or something of
the sort; someone who might applaud Adolf Hitler Campbell's dad. Not
my cup of tea really but I like the conversion idea especially when
applied to what people with rather gross political ideas would
consider (now disgraced and no longer) a collectors' item... hehehe

In the US we often consider old Nazi memoribilia war trophies, we're not
ashamed of them, after all we beat them. It's better than taking scalps as
some of my ancestors did.
I have a Nazi battle flag that i found in the rafters of a garage in Chicago.
When I taught a survey course to seniors in a Chicago high school that was
meant to meld some humanist thinking with basic social science , I brought the
flag in for a discussion about rampant nationalism and the roots of naziism.
It's about ten by six feet with an iron cross in the corner and a swastika in
the middle. Bright red of course. The kids understood, but some other teachers
freaked.

Teachers in large metropolitan school systems are often the least
worldly people around. I'd expect them to freak, and yet not really care.
