Nothing different from The Hitler Channel. Exploiting the Nazis for fun and profit is an old game by now.
A brighter future for a darker age.Nazis, the new Greek army of history. Evil during the present, cool and edgy after the fact.
The thing about making witty signature lines is that it first needs to actually be witty.There are even books on the S.S. uniforms. So if you ever feel the need to offend every minority in sight, you know how to make one.
I've got a relative who's like this; has a copy of Mein Kampf, lots of non-fiction books about German military units, that sort of thing. I doubt he's a racist/facist, though.
So why did he get them, Eth Zee? Do you know?

What's precedent ever done for us?I suppose so.
At the library though there seemed to be a whole lot of books in one section on Nazis, Nazis and the Occult, and what happens when Occult Nazis return

Because they are an interesting part of history. From their bizarre science to their insanity of the age that dragged the world into a global total war.
Who watches the watchmen?We'll just say from the little bit of evidence that wasn't destroyed by the Greeks during their various conquests, they were rather brutal in their methods.

Lets just say it pertains to this. I feel so...violated.
As for the book thing, the Nazis seem to have cornered the book market in Britain. This is sad and funny

Interest in the second world war, I guess. I mean, it's not just nazi books - he has stuff on British operations, he collects WW 2 films, that sort of thing.
It's an interesting phenomenon. But I guess it's easier to read up on the Nazis rather than ask people, "What do you know about the Nazi Party? I'm really rather interested in the Nazi Party what do you know"
It helps that they are famous for their sexy uniforms...

"Every opinion that isn't mine is subjected to Your Mileage May Vary." Erm, I know it's a common way of letting you know those guys are the bad guys, but sexy?
Whatever, not going to think hard about this.

For some reason I do prefer to play the German side in Second World War videogames if the option's there. I think it's just part of my general fascination with the Wehrmacht's tactics and equipment.
With cannon shot and gun blast smash the alien. With laser beam and searing plasma scatter the alien to the stars."It helps that they are famous for their sexy uniforms..."
Sexy? Um, no.
Stylish? Most certainly.
My father actually had this big book called Hitler's War Machine which was a pretty detailed account of the German military technology. Thing is, he got it as a school prize when he was about twelve.
Obviously nothing new.
That's a pretty cool prize.
Considering the Reich's policy of book burning, this is somewhat appropriate.
Pagad; I can get behind that. Panzerkampfwagens and BF-109s and MG-42s, oh my!
I am officially amused.
I am uncertain if this is an Evil Is Cool attitude (!), a Nazi Fetish (!!), or a fascination with history's most evil baddies.
Its doubly ironic that its England: the place Hitler never conquered while he was alive.
I call Godwin on my own post
