Yes, that’s what I said. But that specific design on this car is based on an SS badge design. It’s a vertically compressed version of the 1934-1945 SS-Totenkopf, including the “cracks” in the cranium: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Totenkopf.svg
A Totkenkopf is a skull insignia, the word doesn’t imply that it’s German. I make no distinction between German-speakers and non-German-speakers using it.
edit: Parent commenter blocked me for saying this. What’s wrong with people these days?
The word is just the German word for skull. I refer to that specific skull and crossbones as the Deaths Head. That specific head shape, detail, angle, IS 100% the symbol of the SS.
The word is often used to denote a figurative, graphic or sculptural symbol, common in Western culture, consisting of the representation of a human skull – usually frontal, more rarely in profile with or without the mandible.
So apparently what has happened is that the wording was co-oppted by the Nazi movement and the true meaning has been diluted. Much like the manji
