I guess I'm not sure how removing it is rewriting history.
I'm sure by now someone has mentioned the nazis, but what about east Germany? When the Berlin Wall came down did we forget that half of Germany was liberated and then heavily influenced (controlled) by the soviets? I know back in 05 when I visited you could still buy and wear (horribly bad taste to do so) clothing with the hammer-compass on it. Didn't see a single building flying it though.
Same with the Olympic Coliseum (which is still in use) that hitler built, they removed thousands of swastikas from that place, but the tour guides, signs, and pamphlets still say that hitler built it.
