Has the connection of Admiral Keel Haul to the Nazi SS ever been addressed? Is there anyone else who knows what definitive information I'm referring to?

This is an authentic Nazi SS sports patch. Look Familiar?

i guess you think his patch is an ss sports patch? I can't find a pick of his patch clear enough to tell what it is, but this thread came up #3 when i searched google for this topic. congrats.

I think the op is referring to the patch on his right arm. Some similarity, as far as the eagle head, but lacks the "SS".

Sorry, i've been gone all day. I wouldn't consider it some similarity. The designer definitely crafted Admiral Keel Hauls patch from the Nazi SS sports patch the eagle head is nearly identical and the SS symbol is lined up to hide as a thunderbolt, pretty creative, but definitely seems intentional.

Well thank goodness no kid is gonna own this expensive action figure and ask their parents why Keel Haul is a Nazi because he has a patch that makes him look like a Nazi.

I don't know, I guess art wise it shares a few things. But Eagles heads have been used for military emblems going back 1,000s of years. I don't think it was modeled after that one. The eagle head is probably ment to represent the Skystrikers. There are a bunch of Navy and Air Force squadrons and wings with an eagle head not unlike that one. It's a pretty common thing. I don't think they were using nazi crap to make Joes. (also why the hell does autocorrect keep capitalizing the N in notzee.)

i'm no conspiracy theorist, but my guess based solely on the images is that someone at hasbro back in the day slipped one past the goalie, so to speak. the lightning bolts at the bottom seem to be to be a little too
much of a coinkidink. |
