Today has been a day of Nazis. We've been scanning in pictures of Nazis for some guy's history book--from a genuine Nazi book of Nazi army stuff. It has a lot of pictures of horses in it. There's one amusing shot of some soldiers jumping over a foot tall wall of fake bushes. "You know how dangerous that shrubbery is in England!" said my co-worker, whose unpronounceable Austrian last name I just stole for my polite Nazi character.
Tonight I looked up Nazi POW camps and Nazi ranks and insignias. Sometimes it's hard to believe that they actually wore the stuff they did. Skulls, sheesh. If I read about a villain with a skull on his hat, I'd laugh. But then again, the Allies had bombers named stuff like Satan's Mate and Spawn of Hell. And we get emblems like this

Nazis sucked, but they make awesome villains, because there's no way you could get away with this if it wasn't real.
