About Jeff Hanneman's signature guitars.

Usually I'm not really one to get on the barricades to fight for political correctness but Hanneman's ESP signatures have always made me fucking sick.

Allow me to elaborate:
The dude likes to put Nazi symbols on his guitars and ESP guitars actually built and sold those in the past.
Example:

Please notice the 'SS' logo:



And the skull of course:


Next guitar:



Think the daggered H has something to do with this last name? Nope.

Nazi symbolism on a fucking guitar makes me sick, but I kinda get it... the dude likes Nazi shit for some reason.
What I don't get is your average (US?) Slayer fan boy defending Hanneman and collecting these guitars, I saw it happen again recently on the ESP bbs. 
Here's a list of dumbass arguments I've seen people use:
  • He's just into WWII memorabilia (right, but for some reason he only puts Nazi stuff on his guitars...)
  • His grandfather fought in WWII.
  • It's just art.
  • He can't be a Nazi, Slayer's singer isn't even "white".
Fucking morons...seriously.
That's all.

Edit (3/6/2013): Hutchinson Guitars did a custom guitar called the 'Kriegsadler' and advertised it on Facebook...
I'm posting the pictures here in case the link goes down:
