Bee_dubya .... Germany has never been obsessed with guns. Even during the Third Reich era ... though hunting is part of the Bavarian spirit the National Socialist Government would certainly have not wanted the ordinary citizens having a collection of guns in their homes. As per the German youth, aside from promoting antisemitism it was not much unlike the Boy Scout movement, in that both promotes patriotism, and nationalistic pride.

BTW, I never saw ads such as those.
