You mean, the courts decided wrong according to the law?

The Iron Cross is an old item dating back to Prussian times in the 19th
century (and it is still awarded today). I think somewhere in the
family we have a WWI version from my grandfather. You are talking about
the WWII version apparently.
If you take a look at <URL:http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eisernes_Kreuz>,
you'll see that the versions with the swastika on them have not been
censored.
Yes, bartering, displaying, and in particular advertising Nazi symbols
is not legally unproblematic in Germany. I don't see that historians
are significantly impeded.
