    I read the article yesterday and have been exposed to it a dozen times since, but I still laugh every time I see the phrase “racially diverse nazis”

      What’s funny about this is that it IS, in fact, at least somewhat historically accurate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Arabian_Legion

      While they did wear separate uniforms from the Nazis, there were in fact both Blacks and Arabs fighting on the side of the Nazi regime in WW2. Asians too, of course, since Japan was allied with Germany.
