    Well, making jokes about Nazis is one matter, though a matter which can be discussed, when it is capable of trivializing.
    Utilizing nazi terminology in a glorifying or affirmative way is something completely different. There are many people deliberately using nazi terminology and projecting nazi ideology on something they do, because they identify with it or because they think it's "cool". But it is not, it marks the most terrible episode of mankind's history until now and hopefully for the future, too.
    I don't know if it meant to be a joke or not. Even if it is, the chosen way (a positive, affirmative approach) shows disrespect towards all who suffered under the nazi reign and a belittlement of its actions.

    Just my opinion on what is acceptable and what is not.

    By the way: The choice of a historically rather "non-xenophobic" state doesn't make it amusing but at best ridiculous, imho.

    Edit:

    Though there have been many occasions when people got murdered on abig scale there never has been any comparably systematic and inhuman administration of the annihilation of life than under the nazis, which gives it a wholly different quality than most other occasions.
    Not that i would legitimate to make jokes about victims of crimes of humanity in other times or locations!
