Hello!
Even in German the plural of “1 Nazi” is “2 (or (unfortunately) more) Nazis”.
But let me congratulate you on the ü :-)

Thanks, but it was pasted directly from babblefish, which also explains the
slightly mangled translation.

I think the pictures say it all.

And I somewhat like the design of the Schpiffkraft, it’s certainly interesting
and well done.

Cheers

However, being the typical German grumbler without any sense of humorur, I
wonder what makes the fascinazion (harhar) by naziism for you? Don’t get me
wrong, I know it’s a fascinating topic and I don’t want to sway the moral
mace, but I’m really interested in what exactly makes “Nazi” and their symbols
interesting for you?
|
My interest has less to do with nazism itself than the reaction displaying it’s
symbols still generates even today. The original Schpiffkraft thread being a
prime example.
This model was largely inspired by this
post. I wanted to see if I could render the ‘theme’ in a less offensive, more
comical way, with a more accomplished model. The aim is not to stir up
controversy, but to see if the space nazis can be done without stirring it up.
And besides, everyone hates Jack Stone don’t they?

I’m pretty sure the perception of what has happened during
the Third Reich is quite different over there (wherever it is where you live)
and over here (which is Germany).
|
I’m in Australia, and it’s probably not so different. General condemnation would
best sum it up. I try to stay even handed and make fun of all political
ideologies equally.
| |
Here (GER) the conclusion after those 12 years
of the “millenarian Reich” has been: Never again.
|
Indeed.
| |
Of course everybody has to decide for themselves if this is funny enough to
build MOCs about Nazis.
|
Well it’s not a new idea to make a joke out of nazism. Mel Brooks and Hogan’s
Heroes spring to mind. I personally don’t think any subject should be out of
bounds for humour, but it depends a lot on the execution. I’m hoping I carried
it off well enough, but that’s ultimately up to the audience.
Thanks for the thoughtful comments.
