There are quite a few mistakes in your transcription there, from not attributing the quotes to the right people to not using the correct words

Thanks for the feedback. I pulled it from a transcript and cleaned it up as best I could from memory. If you'd like to suggest some edits, I'd be happy to make the relevant changes.

Nazi: ~~I mean,~~ But why skulls, though?

Hans: What?

N: Why skulls?

H: Well, maybe they’re the skulls of our enemies.

N: Maybe, but is that how it comes across? It doesn’t say next to the skull, you know, “Yeah, we killed him but trust us, this guy was horrid.”

H: Well, no, but... ~~I mean, what do skulls make you think of?~~

N: I mean, what do skulls make you think of? Death, cannibals, beheading, erm pirates?

H: Pirates are fun!

N: I didn’t say we weren’t fun, but fun or not, pirates are still the baddies. I just can’t think of anything good about a skull.

H: What about pure Aryan skull shape?

N: Even that is more usually depicted with the skin still on, whereas the allies-"

H: You haven’t been listening to ally propaganda. ~~They’re bound~~ Of course they're going to say we’re bad guys.

N: But they didn’t get to design our uniforms and their symbols are all, you know, quite nice, stars, stripes, lions, sickles.

H: What’s so good about a sickle?

N: Well, nothing, and obviously if there’s one thing we’ve learnt in 1,000 miles of retreat, it’s that Russian agriculture’s in dire need of mechanization.

H: Tell me about it.

N: You’ve got to say it’s better than a skull. I mean, I really can’t think of anything worse as a symbol than a skull.

H: A rat’s anus?

N: Yeah, and if we were fighting an army marching under the banner of a rat’s anus I’d probably be a lot less worried, Hans.
