By far the most popular "morale patch" is the SS TotenKopf or Death's Head.
Naturally, we will never see these in American or European media....but the rest of the world does.

Historically, after Russians killed nearly 10 million Ukrainians in the 1930s Holodomor, many Ukrainians understandably welcomed Nazis in 1941 as liberators from Stalin's genocide.
After another 7 million Ukrainians died in WWII, no Ukrainian can have any illusions about Nazis vs. Russians -- let them both burn in hell, but right now it's Russian orcs invading Ukraine, and they must die, so Ukraine is looking for all the help it can get.
Now, if you are familiar with American politics, you well know how much the Left loves to brand any opposition as "far right" "Ultra-MAGA" and even "Nazis" given the smallest excuse to do so.
And so in Russia, the Left (Putin's orcs) claims Ukrainians are all a bunch of Nazis.
The only problem is, essential to the word "Nazi" is anti-Semitism.
You literally cannot be a "Nazi" without also being antisemitic.
Yes, you might well be something similar, "fascist" comes to mind, but not a "Nazi".
Indeed, if these so-called Ukrainian Nazis favor their elected Jewish president, then in reality, they are not even fascists, they are simply over-the-top, in-your-face, nationalists -- just the kind of people the Left loves to mischaracterized, but who can be helpful when your country is fighting for its very existence.
So, some have argued on these threads that since Ukrainians are less than perfect human beings, they deserve to be ruled over by, or exterminated by, Russian orcs.
Naw, that's crazy.
Orcs must die.
