And yet, I’ve never noticed it. I thought it was only the bird symbol on the hat. I’ve never looked into their uniforms with any meaningful inspection. I had to google the hat because I doubted you were right, but you are. So I just learned something else.
Like I implied earlier, people can exist for decades without knowing something. Just because it is common to you, doesn’t mean it is common to everyone.
I don’t think we ever reviewed symbols of nazi Germany in any of my history classes in High School or University. I’m also not a history buff (had enough of war growing up, don’t want to read about more of them in my spare time) so I don’t spend my free time on history unless it’s directly relevant to a conversation (like this is now).
Maybe knowing nazi symbols is a greater part of basic history where you live? It seems more in depth on that specific subject than I experienced. We covered the instigations, effects, and resolutions more than details like that.
Ok? I wasn’t arguing whether it is one or not. I fully understand that it is. All I was saying is that prior to this incident with Platner I didn’t know what the symbol was and that it’s not uncommon for someone to not know something that is perhaps commonly known for another person. I’m sure there is information that to me seems common and like everyone should know that you might not know of. It happens. People aren’t computers. We don’t have a hash verifiable set of knowledge common amongst us all.
The point is not knowing it, especially for that long is a massive issue. Both on his judgment, those around him, the military and now those defending it.
There’s so many failures here and the defense has just been we was drunk or how was anyone supposed to know a deaths head was bad
I really can’t decide what’s worse. Those defending the tattoo or those saying they had no idea what the symbol was.
Not everyone walks around with an encyclopedia of knowledge on hate symbols. I didn’t learn about the totenkopf until this issue came up.
It’s literally the skull on the nazis hats. And the skull from are we the baddies? We have a skull on our hats.

True but this is basic history stuff.

Again this isn’t obscure stuff like ruins or numbers, but the symbol of the SS.
Excluding the history side it’s again all over media to exclusively identify the bad guys.
And seems to keep popping up in the usa military
