OSHKOSH - A Nazi flag that flew at a North Main Street home on Saturday was taken down after it sparked outrage on social media.

The family living at the home took the flag down before Schwab Properties, which owns the house, could request they do so, owner Grant Schwab said. It was not clear when the flag was put up or why.

The only thing Schwab could do in the situation was request to take it down, he said.

Schwab received numerous calls and emails about the property on Saturday and Sunday, he said.

While Schwab said he does not condone the behavior, nor support such beliefs, he cannot control what tenants do in their homes. He noted their screening process of tenants does not include religious or political beliefs.

"It's disappointing, and disappointing that people take it out on us," Schwab said, noting he and his property manager were cursed at by some callers. "I can't control what someone does in their home. It's their right even though I totally don't agree with it."
