Dude. Nazism and Nazi symbols are offensive to Germans. Period. What is
so hard to understand about that? Your little science project is doomed from
the beginning. I mean, shesh-- imagery like that is illegal in a
Democratic State, for crying out loud. What’s funny about that?

Menstruating women may find the use of ‘Period’ in a one word sentence
offensive.
Whatever happened to the ‘German Democratic Republic’ ?

Well it’s not a new idea to make a joke out of nazism. Mel Brooks

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.

Not for any German audience I suspect. Just as only blacks can call each
other the N-word, and Jews have “permission” to joke about Jews, I would
guess that only a German would have any hope of making light of that subject,
and certainly not an outsider from Aussie.

Israel seems to have ‘permission’ to occupy part of Palestine.
Plenty of ‘outsider’ Australians died in both World Wars in Europe, North Africa
and South East Asia.
Some Australians may find the use of ‘aussie’ patronising in this context.

I categorically can’t find it funny because I know that it offends Germans.
Hey, just for kicks-- go post your MOC on 1000Steine and see what happens.
If that idea gives you pause, then maybe there are some deeper issues to
which you are oblivious and should have addressed before you embarked on your
build.
