For Totenkopf I was kind of joking, that is a very specific symbol.

But for the others I have a hard disagree. There is nothing general except collection of the specifics. Every empire is unique, the German one being different from every other one exactly as each specific is unique. And every empire made up glory stories about itself. The use of "Soviet" instead of "council". Every Council has unique aspects, and the choice of whether to translate the word or not is entirely removed from the distance from other "councils" that fit within the generic term. It's a political choice with the intention of creating distinction as opposed to familiarity. Dasein was explicitly described by Heidegger as different from the word itself, so this doesn't fit the others.

As Hegel would've said, there is no Universal aside from the collection of the particulars. Removing particulars changes the universal, and that is what is actively done in these processes.

Edit: I wanna be clear that I'm not upset or angry in any way, I like this topic and am glad to engage you in it! And would like to hear your position. If any of this comes off as mean instead of just strongly-opinionated, that's my English fucking up
