** Imitating stereotypical Nazi behavior is usually understood by modern Germans that a person believes these behaviors are still common in Germany and that rules and standards of society are still the same. Which is probably the single most guaranteed way to [[Dude, Not Funny|piss about every German seriously off]]. And the English are particularly infamous for doing it.
