What do those numbers mean? I think I heard this 88 pop up over some mickey mouse game but didn't think much about it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourteen_Words, the 88 on it's own usually means Heil Hitler (8th letter of the alphabet).

Well I understood that much but why and how those 2 numbers are related to Nazi

[-] Stern@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

14 refers to the 14 words, a Nazi quote, 88 is numerical reference, 8th letter is H, so HH, or Heil Hitler.

H is the 8th letter in the alphabet and the starting letter of both their original leader and their greeting.

14 refers to their 14 word credo about "racial purity"
