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.
The flag is also a totenkopf.
