Russian forces in Africa are named, apparently, the "Afrika Korps". OK, the article uses the letter "c" instead of "k", but...don't you think they could name it something less reminiscent of the German fight for North Africa during World War Two? I guess after another (illegal under Russian law) paramilitary group was named the very German name "Wagner" (composer beloved by Hitler for anti-semitic themes, BTW), it does make sense. Plus, with Russia's support of, and partnership with, Iran, it's clear that just as Stalin and Hitler were buddies, Putin values his affinity with Herr Schicklgruber, too.
To be fair, however, the Russian Afrika Korps does differ from the original German Afrika Korps in a very important regard; Generalfeldmarshall Rommel did not get his butt kicked by a group of nomadic Tuareg herdsmen. For the sake of the world, thank God that today's Nazis in Russia are incompetent.
