You can try to talk them out of it if you think it'd work, but otherwise just start logging all of the Nazi poo poo they say and torpedo them when opportunity permits.

I think this depends heavily on your specific relationship with the student, exactly how you interact with them, and especially how old they are.

I don't have a strong relationship with them, I just see all the stuff on their computer (Afrika Korps t-shirts, panzer divisions, SS posters).

Today I was helping him with something unrelated and he randomly asks me "what was the most diverse army in WW2?" because he wanted to look cool and correct me that it was the SS.

I don't really think there's anything I can do, it's just frustrating.

break his computer

inform his parents of his growing nazism

burn his house down

hit him with a golf cart

(one of these options is unironic, guess which one it is)

(it's the legal one, tell his parents)

Just tell him that all his heroes died in agony at the end of Russian bayonets or they died after wallowing in the shame of defeat, and that it will always happen again because no one likes Nazis.

Whenever he talks about the SS just remind him they were crushed by superior bolshevik science at every opportunity.


Also ask him if he supports other famous war losers like the Confederacy and the Boers

Report him. That’s terrorist poo poo. Get that kid locked up in a cage before he goes around shooting girls. Unless it’s illegal, call the parents and the administration. The SS poo poo is basically a threat if there are students who are jewish or not white in this school.

I love when nazis pull this out, a bunch of different kinds of white people that were forced to become slave soldiers isn't a diverse army. At least the Colonial troops used by the British and French were volunteers, in a way.

Try to dunk on that kid as much as you can, and as is said, make sure he knows that his heroes are the biggest losers in 20th century history. They died at the end of a rope or in the mud and snow hiding from Soviets, which is the fate of all Nazis.

I don't really think there's anything I can do, it's just frustrating.

I knew a ton of people like this growing up. It's a pretty common phenomenon to learn "slightly" more history than the hyper-simplified (but accurate) narrative and suddenly go whole hog into feeling like your into something cool that everyone else had missed. It's basically the same as knowing nothing about the Civil War and saying it was about slavery, then learning a little and saying it was about state's rights, then learning a lot and saying, "yeah it all comes back to slavery."

German Army apologists tend to run in the same amateur historian crowd of mostly white dudes enamored with lost-cause romanticism and a military boner. The best grow out of it over time as they continue to learn, but many just want the appearance of being wise without the effort, or just want an excuse to defend the indefensible.

Honestly, the best way to dissuade him would be to try to distract him. Don't challenge him head on, offer him some other really obscure thing "normies don't know about" and encourage him to learn more. Lure him away from the Nazi poo poo with accounts of Tito's successful insurgency or the Greek partisans, anything likely to be "new" to him without the Nazi baggage. Sometimes all you can do to keep a cat from being a poo poo is to pull out the laser pointer.
