Hi Lucy,

The most probable reason you can't view the item is because its listed under WWII antiques/memorablia. Germany and I think Austria has very strict laws prohibiting the sale of such items.

Germany does not want its Nazi past to be glorified and so such items are banned. Whether its a blanket ban on all items to do with WWII (the Axis connection with Japan) or its just an oversight...well, that depends on what e-bay was instructed.
