There’s no immediate explanation as to why this little fella’s adorning Floriade.

Anyone have any theories?

He’s got rather dark skin for a Nazi.

Ah yes, more successfully brainwashed morons produced out of the Zionist media empire. Actually the German forces were the most multicultural of all, take a look at these two links:

Now go educate yourselves fools.

Wow! A whole TWO books, written by the same author. That’s it! Everyone re-write the history books! We’ve obviously had it wrong this whole time!

I can only hope you were sitting down for that news, bubzie, and that you have a good, strong heart!

*tee hee*

Omigosh! Somebody’s kidnapped the Gnazi Gnome!!

I went looking for the gnome yesterday, to get my own photographic evidence, and it was gone!

Very similar tats to Romper Stomper – note what appears to be the skeletal tattoo down the Gnome’s left arm and hand.

And in some the film’s promo pics I found on Google images the swastika in the background is positioned as a square and not a diamond…

cheerio!

I’m guessing a lot of people here aren’t familiar with the ‘nazi’ subscene in the punk movement of the 70’s/80’s. The bane of many a concert.

I’d definitely say it’s Romper Stomper inspired.

Any good places that are free/easy to learn it?

The BBC has a nice online course you can complete in 12 weeks.

A black nazi gnome, hmmm… Would have been even more interesting if the hat was plain white and came down over the eyes…

I think that gladiator might have been a teeny bit classier.

But less Australian, given the theme of Floriade is “Films that Shaped our Nation”

Damn I love the German language, especially when someone calls someone else nasty names ^_^

The Goethe Institute offers courses. There are also fairly cheap CIT courses available. Otherwise, a wealth of material online……

….you Arschlecker.

It’s the Gnational Front.

Ding Ding Ding!

We have a winner!

It’s the Gnational Front.

Sid Vicous used to wear a t-shirt with a swastica on it… maybe a 1970’s politically uncorrect punk gnome?

I hate gnomes.

I think that gladiator might have been a teeny bit classier.

Yeah, I think Romper Stomper is the theme here.

Romper Stomper?

That would further explain the Russell Crowe connection given the Rabbitohs beanie.

Has anyone noticed the Anarchist symbol on his/her (you just don’t know these days) right arm?

Whilst it is correct that the NDSP symbol forms a diamond, you cannot deny the colours (red, white & black).

Having lived in Germany and having an understanding of modern German culture, whoever painted this is a simple Arschloch und Dummkopf. If this is meant to be a parody, then it fails horribly considering the issues with the NPD and racial issues that face current Germany (Mostly in the former DDR states and South Germany- basically the equivalent to Australia’s Bogans).

If it’s someone who’s actually a neo, well sorry mate but a real Neo Nazi would never get a Anarchist tattoo… nochmal: Arshloch. Also going to prove that every and any neo-Nazi is as unintelligent as a particular female vice-presidential candidate, possibly even dumber (actually that’s really not possible is it?).

Looking a bit dark? Adolf wouldn’t like that. And he definitely wouldn’t like the anarchy logo.

He’s a very confused little gnome – trying to be both an anarchist and also a follower of Der Furher.

The symbol on his belt isn’t the Swastika of the NDSP. Their swastika is rotated so that it’s borders would form a diamond rather than a square.

wait for a wowser to notice it and complain, only a matter of time…

And a barely plucked mono-brow…

But I’ll concede the coachwood and myrtle might be a shoutout to South Sydney.

He’s got rather dark skin for a Nazi.

Romper Stomper?
