I had problems getting my mom to buy me plastic swords...

This is so unfair.

I sense a social reflex at work here, where the Police saw "WWII Tank" and decided he was probably a Nazi, and having no Nazi paraphernalia in his secret lair they had to take the tank to save face.

I think it is worrying that you see Nazi connections everywhere.
It reminds me of the Nazis, who saw jewish conspiracies in everything.

Wait... this is a joke, isn't it? You're making fun of the fact that Germans see Nazi's everywhere. Have we finally cracked your sense of humour?

It doesn't. I couldn't get anything that resembled a weapon.

I was miserable until I discovered dolls.

I'm not so sure whether the nazi background was an issue. Might be.

The thing is apparently off-media now, at least off my media radar, but I've got the impression that someone higher-up than the mayor got wind of "weapons! tank! gun! omg!" or smth like that and felt compelled to act immediately for fear of ... idk.

To me, it's just good old german "Aktionismus" (no literal translation found: it's basically 'doing things for the sake of doing things' or in this case: 'be seen doing things').

I would really like to see some more pictures of his equipment, the 8.8 looked pretty well preserved too. And of course I'd be interested in the history of this equipment. Where he'd got it etc.
