So it's been brought back by soldiers who fought Nazi's as a prize and kept there for 80 years, and nobody has given a shit all this time until now. And then he took it down after a single complaint. Seems pretty ridiculous to lose the award over this. Maybe all it needed was a little plaque under it explaining why it's there and that it was brought by returning British soldiers from the war.
The wider issue is that owning or displaying anything related to the Nazis is increasingly problematic especially with the resurgence of the far right recently.
The specific issue is that it violates CAMRA's rules, so they have to take action.
Adding context might help with the former, but there is little wiggle room with the latter.
Yeah, the plaque was crucial, especially with today's political climate. You can't just assume why people do what they do.
