Keel Hauls patch does have two bolts. It is an interesting find, but we would have to ask the original designer if that was the intention. Even if it was, would he admit it?
I'm assuming the ME Keel Haul doesn't have that patch, which would tell me that they found the original a little too offensive? |

I don't think anyone thinks Keel-Haul or the patch designer was a practicing Nazi.
I also don't think it's a significant stretch of the imagination that a designer of military toys was looking through a book of patches and modified the design of one. The similarity is pretty solid to me. |

To be fair, the bottom line is unless someone directly asks the original artist (whoever that may be) what their inspiration was behind the design of the art on the 1985 Keel Haul figure, nobody can say for sure.
I still maintain that it's a significant stretch of the imagination. And not for nothing, people who collect Nazi memorabilia frankly make me uncomfortable. |
