Moreso, it was unclear from their wording, which one of your interpretations they were intending. I don’t think that most Americans really know about the occult side of Nazism, outside of surface level stories. It wasn’t until I saw the Extra History bit a couple weeks ago that I even knew there was a link between Atlantis and Nazis.
Atlantis had been a mystical space in public knowledge, sure. There was a flume ride at Sea World. All sorts of specials on ABC and a Disney movie (not that that gains any points for not-being-nazi, in retrospect). But the Nazi link is always glossed over.
So really, my intent was sort of like writing on the screen “Nazis really believed this stuff”. Was there a South Park Nazi episode that calledback that joke from the Mormon episode or the Scientology episode? That’s what I’m trying to do.
Somewhat the former but not really.

Did you never watch Indiana Jones?
Nazi obsession with occultism is literally the plot of a bunch of popular media.
