Actually … Master Sgt. Hans Shultz wasn’t a Nazi. He was a member of the SPD, which was banned by the Nazis in 1933 under the Enabling Act. He wasn’t politically active, and ran the Schatze Toy Company between wars.
Yes, the SPD had socialist and Marxist origins, but it wasn’t as far left as the Communist Party, and it certainly wasn’t affiliated with the National Socialist (Nazi) party. So, Godwin doesn’t apply.
@2 Not Nazi in the specific party sense, but Nazi in the sense of being part of the German war machine of the Second World War. He certainly wasn’t a private contractor prison guard.
Heroes, Heroes, husky men of war
Sons of all the Heroes of the war before
We’re all heroes up to our ear o’s
You ask the questions
We make suggestions
That’s what we’re heroes for
All good Heroes love a good, big fight
Open up the bomb bays brighten up the night
We earn laurels solving your quarrels
You throw the roses
We punch the noses
That’s what we’re heroes for
What’s a Hero do?
We’re never gonna tell ya
Cause we wish we knew
That’s why we Heroes are so few
We’ve got a slogan
from Colonel Hogan
And Colonel Hogan’s a Hero too
Never flinch boys never be afraid
Heroes are not born boys Heroes all are made
Ask not why boys never say die boys
Answer the call remember we’ll all be Heroes forever more

What happens when a thread starts at Godwin? Where can it go from there?
