/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Seems pretty straightforward, actually:
"We need to cast someone to play a Nazi for this episode."
"Remember that one guy we cast in Voyager? He was pretty good. Let's just get him back."
Both series had the same primary casting directors:

You and your blasted Vulcan logic!
Way to dig for the heart of the matter. You've restored my faith in the process.
On the other hand, there have been actors that play Nazis all the time.

To be specific, Kretschmann has played a Nazi solider in: Stalingrad (1993), Krigerens Hjerte (1994), U-571 (2000), The Pianist (2002), In Enemy Hands (2004), Downfall - Der Untergang (2004), Head in the Clouds (2004), Eichmann (2007), Operation Valkyrie (2008), Laconia (2011), Stalingrad (2013 - yes, a second movie called Stalingrad), Captain America: Winter Soldier (2014) and Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)…. And that’s just the times he was a literal Nazi, and not a vaguely fascist German character.
To be fair, if you're a character actor in Hollywood, can you really afford to be turning down parts merely because they're typecasting you?
As long as people are making media with Nazis in it, someone's gonna get cast to play the Nazi. Might as well cast someone who understands the role.
It doesn't mean they believe in it, which is discussed in the very article you linked.
It sounds like he's come to terms with it.
Missed conspiracy and enemy at the gates, shame
Max von Sydow played a Holocaust survivor in several films. He was Swedish. Don't ask me to explain that.
It's them cheekbones
He's got the German last name and everything.
"Central Casting? Yeah, we need a Nazi, who do you have?"
"We have Leonard Nimoy, William Shatner, and DeForest Kelly?"
