Nazis
In real life, the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazis for short) was a powerful, now universally despised but extremely influential political movement that was central to the Second World War. In Sonichu, Nazis are an insane time-traveling army of evil from another dimension obsessed with the eradication of all Pokemon. They were included in the comic at the insistence of the Idea Guys who convinced Chris everything in his comic was real and actually happening in another dimension.
Out of all plot points Chris was tricked into including in Sonichu, he notably hated the Nazis most and went out of his way to completely wipe their inclusion in the comic's history out of existence via time travel and magical deus-ex machinas. On multiple occasions, Chris expressed his hatred for Hitler and Nazis and even made a whoopee cushion with Hitler's face on it. So their addition to Sonichu was understandably enraging to him.
The Idea Guys were inspired to include Nazis in the comic due to love of Wolfenstein and Call of Duty: Nazi Zombies. Yet another example of how the Idea Guys sought to prove how much better they were than Chris, who put all of his childish obsessions in Sonichu, by putting their childish obsessions in Sonichu.
In The Comic
Nazis were occasionally alluded to before the events of Sonichu 13. Beel, in a previous life, was the "main assistant" to Adolf Hitler, which probably meant he was the guy who fetched Uncle Adolf's cigars and coffee while the adults did their business. After his death, he was cursed with a demonic form and forever punished by working menial, dead-end jobs for companies like 4-cent_garbage.com.
Nazis played a major role in the events of Sonichu 13. The Idea Guys managed to convince Chris that they had invaded CWCville by pointing to the real-life right-wing Charlottesville protests, claiming this was an example of C-197's events bleeding into our reality. Initially, the Nazis appeared in an alternate timeline where an immortal Hitler was given a Sonichu Medallion by a Nazi-aligned alternate universe version of Chris. The "real" Chris, enraged by this, took his medallion back, causing Hitler to turn to dust.
Later in the issue, CWCville is devastated by a massive war with the rival micro-nation of Australatina, splitting it into two halves. Nazis from an alternate timeline invaded C-197 and annexed Australatina, which was sympathetic to their cause. The Nazis went on to capture nearly all of the "destined" Sonichus and Rosechus and systemically kill all wild Pokemon outside CWCville's borders, declaring them all to be "impure." Chris recruited multiple fictional characters, his own Pokemon, and the My Little Pony villain Discord to help him kill Nazis, as CWCville's standing military had been entirely wiped out during the war.
Chris, using his magical Deus-Ex Machina powers, took a drop of his blood and used it to infect all the Nazis, turning them into Sonichus. This devastated the Third Reich, as it rendered their ideology moot. Small pockets of the group continued fighting, even building a Rosechu rape camp and impregnating all of the fertile women of the comic to produce more soldiers for the fight, but they were slaughtered by Chris, his pony OC and an idea guy.
Though the Nazis were defeated and erased from C-197, the damage they did still lasted long after their fall. Magi-Chan and Sonichu both had mental breakdowns due to the PTSD inflicted by the war, the former accidentally causing a tear in reality that nearly destroyed the universe and the latter shooting up the CWCville mall before trying to rape Chris.
Chris was utterly disgusted by the inclusion of Nazis in his comic, so much so that he still felt the need to bitch about it in Sonichu 14's opening text crawl. Chris then used his magical CPU goddess powers to purge all remnants of the Nazis and their reign from CWCville's past and present, though they still existed historically, as shown in the pages of Sonichu 16 that states Count Graduon fought against the Germans in both world wars. (How this is possible when he was trapped in a giant stone statue built by Native Americans is anyone's guess.)
The Nazis and their proxy state, Australatina, were by far the most powerful and dangerous villains in Sonichu canon, doing far more damage and posing a much greater threat to the heroes than any other. This can probably be attributed to the fact that they were written by the Idea Guys and not Chris.
In Chris' Real Life
- Megan Schroeder expressed several times that she sympathized with German soldiers who weren't Nazis. However, she also had a weird Nazi fetish.
- In multiple Mailbag posts, Chris expressed his disdain for Hitler and Nazis, likely only knowing about them because of Bob Chandler and Family Guy.
- Readers have compared both the villains of the comic ("The Axis of Slaweel") and Chris in the comic himself to the Nazis. These comparisons were pretty much rendered moot by the appearance of actual Nazis in the comics.
- in the July 2015 Facebook Posts Chris created a whoopee cushion with Hitler's face on it.
- Chris is a big fan of the Spike Jones song "Der Fuehrer's Face" (made famous by a Donald Duck Cartoon). He has referenced the lyrics to it and sang it unprompted in videos such as Re-Calling Ahuvia and Son-Chu Review.
