Thanks for the feedback. I pulled it from a transcript and cleaned it up as best I could from memory. If you'd like to suggest some edits, I'd be happy to make the relevant changes.

    Nazi: I mean, But why skulls, though?

    Hans: What?

    N: Why skulls?

    H: Well, maybe they’re the skulls of our enemies.

    N: Maybe, but is that how it comes across? It doesn’t say next to the skull, you know, “Yeah, we killed him but trust us, this guy was horrid.”

    H: Well, no, but... I mean, what do skulls make you think of?

    N: I mean, what do skulls make you think of? Death, cannibals, beheading, erm pirates?

    H: Pirates are fun!

    N: I didn’t say we weren’t fun, but fun or not, pirates are still the baddies. I just can’t think of anything good about a skull.

    H: What about pure Aryan skull shape?

    N: Even that is more usually depicted with the skin still on, whereas the allies-"

    H: You haven’t been listening to ally propaganda. They’re bound Of course they're going to say we’re bad guys.

    N: But they didn’t get to design our uniforms and their symbols are all, you know, quite nice, stars, stripes, lions, sickles.

    H: What’s so good about a sickle?

    N: Well, nothing, and obviously if there’s one thing we’ve learnt in 1,000 miles of retreat, it’s that Russian agriculture’s in dire need of mechanization.

    H: Tell me about it.

    N: You’ve got to say it’s better than a skull. I mean, I really can’t think of anything worse as a symbol than a skull.

    H: A rat’s anus?

    N: Yeah, and if we were fighting an army marching under the banner of a rat’s anus I’d probably be a lot less worried, Hans.
