The simping is crazy. All the evidence points to a questionable past and when its brought up, people attack that individual instead. Its rather bizarre.
I hope Platner does a good job. If he ends up making questionable political choices moving forward though there would then shrug.
But you’ve been arguing that any Totenkopf or Death’s Head is by definition a Nazi symbol. So clearly you must think the US Marines who flew that flag while killing actual historical Nazis must themselves have been Nazis.
Totenkopf isn’t the name of the symbol Platner had, it’s a general umbrella term for skull imagery. It’s not a singularly famous icon with a scary German name, it’s just one of many in a category. That specific design was used by some Nazis (not Nazis as a whole), but also by other armed forces groups previously.
It’s the Marine Raiders expeditionary flag, a military unit in WW2.
Skull and crossbones imagery has been used by militaries since the dawn of time. And if you look on the wikipedia article for Totenkopf, you’ll find it is indistinguishable from other skull and crossbones imagery. Totenkomf is just the German word for skull and crossbones. Wikipedia explicitly labels the following image a Totenkopf:
Honestly, you’re doing the equivalent of right wingers who hyperventilated about the fact that Obama attended a “Madrassa” for awhile as a child. The mouth breathers were too stupid to realize that madrassa is just the Arabic word for school.
There is no difference between a deaths head and a “totenkopf.” It literally means “dead person’s head” in German.

Do you think this is a Nazi flag as well?
Because this is a flag of people who literally fought and died against the actual historical Nazis.,
I’ve never seeing that flag before and I cannot make a judgement on it.

The picture presented is not a Totenkopf though.
What is the name of the flag? Or a source of it? I don’t recognize it.
The flag is also a totenkopf.

Lmao you’re doing God’s work out here rehabilitating the totenkopf’s image. Just… why? Other than the obvious reason…
