Like, did they not live through the same several decades where the Nazis were bad?
They recognize jack boots and peaked caps as Nazi shit, but not the literal Death's Head?
So they're either utterly, profoundly ignorant or they're lying
Everyone older than like 35 is lying and full of shit. That shit was everywhere in Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade because Indy was facing off the SS in that movie. Or how about Inglorious Basterds where every clip where the main antagonist who's an SS officer gets millions of views ? Or how about the overexposure of Nazi military iconography on the History Channel in general? Or how about the "Are We the Baddies" bit where gifs and memes about it show the totenkopf?
Platner was like 5 when Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade was in theaters. And like most kids born in the 80s, he watched that shit over and over again on VHS because that's what kids fucking did back when smartphones didn't exist. You don't need to be a wehraboo to know what a totenkopf is. You just need to watch the highest grossing film of 1989 of a popular movie franchise directed by a popular movie director at least once in the last 30+ years.
They knew. He knew what the totenkopf was and his business partners in his oyster farm also knew what the totenkopf was.
I’m not surprised, while i cant remember where i learned about the death’s head, i do know it wasnt with any of the other nazi history stuff, reruns of cable tv WW2 history shows, some text books, etc that I learned everything else about them from.
I think i first encountered it in context from the Tarantino movie
Lots of people expressing the [reactionary] "it's just common sense!" sort of attitude here. It's fine to be surprised that people don't know as much as you. It's fine/good if this is considered disqualifying for a high ranking candidate. "Everyone who doesn't know all the things that I do is just stupid" is not a healthy attitude.
