Manchester United midfielder to sue over Nazi doll

[Blackleaf]

First of all this is a Wehrmacht doll, of the regular German Army. It is not an SS doll which was a unit of the Nazi Party (National Socialist German Workers Party).. and the one most closely associated with Death Camp and Ethnic Cleansing atrocities.

In Europe it's normal to use the term "Nazi" even when not referring specifically to the Nazi Party itself. World War II veterans say they "fought the Nazis" or "I took on thousands of heavily armed Nazis", when they actually mean they fought the German military.

As for the Wehrmacht, it is common in English to use this word only for the German Army of the Nazi era, whereas it is actually the term the Germans use to describe the whole of their armed forces. So Wehrmacht also includes the German Navy and the Luftwaffe. "Wehrmacht" is the word the Germans use for any nation's armed forces, thus Britische Wehrmacht means British Armed Forces.
