The Nazi Angle Is Really Disturbing

I had no problem with the incestuous relationship, regurgitation between mother and son, or even performing a blood transfusion for a doll, but this Nazi storyline is quite unsettling.

I don't think it's that shocking. The whole nazi-angle is so surreal that it doesn't quite disturb me. The idea of a Jeremy or a Joy is far creepier and more believable than this underground Nazi coup.

Nazis have been done to death.

I don't mind...
Nazis, especially Nazi doctors add creepiness.
And that's what this show is about!

Yeah, we even had nazi's in a kid show.

Grew up with this. Brilliant show. Don't know if anyone apart from Holland or Germany had this. It tackled controversial subjects like racism, aids, post-colonial Europe and the decline of the monarchy. And all presented through these adorable ducks, crows, storks, moles and other fluffy characters.

I thought it was hysterical, especially the "Tomorrow Belongs to Tea" mug. That killed me!

I agree with the OP the Nazi angle seem to take the show out of the fantasy zone and into the real world which I did not like.

Surely the Nazi plot was by far the most fantastical of the story's elements? The rest was surreal, but more or less grounded in reality - moreso than the resurrection of a dead Nazi anyway.

These bastards!

I'm Jewish and "lost" three quarters of my relatives to Nazi death camps. I have no issues with the portrayal of Nazis as evil scum and whenever I get in touch with my "dead" relatives they always agree with me.

I once really drunk and freaked out by a guy in a full Nazi uniform at the club in September after watching Inglourious Basterds. If I was sober I would have been fine.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.
