Black Sun (occult symbol) contains discussion of an image which is alleged to be "illegal to print or display this symbol in Germany today" (namely the logo of the Thule Society, although there is dispute about whether or not this particular rendering is the actual logo).

As I read the article, it is only reporting that one author says it is illegal. I find such a claim most surprising and will contact a colleague in Germany for her opinion. I suspect that the author of the article does not quite believe it either, or he would have made the claim more prominent. But maybe he was just trying to avoid WP:UNDUE.

From the information provided in the article, that author would appear to be a conspiracy theory nut. If my modest collection of crank literature is any guide, whatever such an individual says in relation to his particular obsession is just as likely as not to be complete poppycock.
