When I was stationed in Germany we went to many flohmarkt's. There was a lot of Third Reich memorabilia, military medals, uniforms, coins, flags, etc.. with the swastika's. As you walked around the flohmarkt, you would see various items with little white stickers on them or items completely covered up. Those were the items we headed for and bought. Hiding under those covers and white tags/stickers, were swastika's!.......covered up because they were taboo in the German community. I have Third Reich military medals and pins with swastika's but I'm not sure what they represent, stand for or for what reason they were issued to the troops.
