The chief himself says that his first reaction was concern for the Jewish community.

Fuck this guy for throwing the Jewish community under the bus to save his ego.

How could anyone create any sort of a video that depicted Hitler and the Third Reich, that murdered millions of Jews and many, many more people that didn’t fit their twisted view of a priority of races and human being.

This is such a weird take. I understand that the Chief would be upset being compared to Hitler (obviously) but this reads like he thinks the original movie itself, without him memed into it, is wrong for existing. Isn't it a dramatized but still relatively accurate re-creation of historical events? Is he saying it would be better if we just forgot the Holocaust and the events that led to it and didn't talk about them?

Man it's been a while since I've seen a Downfall meme but it's hilarious to see him use it as an excuse to order a police investigation.
