Huh. As twitchy as they are about WW II Nazi symbology in Germany, I’m surprised they’re showing this. Then again, it’s been so long since I’ve seen the episode, I can’t remember exactly what the Space Nazi uniforms looked like. If they had actual Nazi or SS symbols on them like swastikas or sig runes, they can’t be shown in Germany—the display of those symbols is illegal.

They do. For half the episode Kirk wears a Gestapo Colonel's black uniform with full regalia.

Not quite; the law has numerous exemptions for art (which includes movies), science, historical reports and pretty much all you can think of. What you can’t do is go on the streets and hold a Nazi rally, but that is pretty much it.

My understanding is that those laws have been relaxed
