when i was 7 or 6 i was shown my families fotoalbum, 3 of my grandunkles and my great granddad were members of the SA and at that age, not understanding what that uniforms and symbols on the foto meant, i painted childrenpictures with swastikers and a swastiker on my mums car.
my mother didn`t punish me and 4-5 years later i had a better understanding of what i did.
this is certainly a more typical german situation but certainly comparable to yours.
at a young age one might not understand a serious issue, i remember precicly how my mother didn`t tell me off, but just showed feelings of discontent not towards my actions but more towards the results ergo; not telling me off but explaining me in a way that i understood ,as a child, that informing yourself on things you didn`t understand is nececery before engaging in further interaction - so in the end a valuable lesson for a growing up child.
today when i visit my parents - this is more a joke they use to turn my face red.
