Opposing uniforms were not attempting genocide as far as I'm aware.
In my view it is fine, it's a piece of history. History is doomed to repeat itself if we don't acknowledge and remember the past. It's all about what you do with it. If someone buys it and wears it around yelling slurs at people.. yeah, not great, but if they put it on display as part of a collection of ww2 items, whatever. It's kind of like buying a gun to shoot up a school or having one on display.
WW2 was honestly just one genocide after another, you couldn't wear a uniform if you don't want to support some type
If they were opposing genocide, then isn't trading in the artifacts of that conflict, whatever the nation, still profiting from genocide? I don't see how it matters what side the artifacts come from.
