According to city documents, during the course of the investigation, the city also asked the investigator to investigate allegations by a detective that Kammerzell asked him to Photoshop a personal photograph of a dog while on duty, and at that time, showed the detective a photograph of himself with a Hitler mustache wearing lederhosen, and then referenced another photograph in which Kammerzell was with an elected official and raised his hand in a “hail Hitler” gesture.

Kammerzell also told the investigator that a co-worker encouraged him to watch the TV show “The Man in the High Castle.” He said one of the main characters had the name of Obergruppenfuhrer and that a co-worker then gave him that nickname and other assistant chiefs began to call him that, according to city documents.

The evidence, according to the investigator, also suggests Kammerzell referred to himself as Obergruppenfuhrer and that he compared the Nazi symbol more than once to the current Kent Police uniforms.

    Reminds me of the Portland police officer who did regular LARPing in nazi cosplay and eventually got a promotion to branch chief or whatever
