Yeah, I also noticed that. That's an oops on the part of the devs IMO.
It was more the name and the depiction though, in the context of apparently a war game.
Believe me, I frequent some boards on the internet where there's a large percentage of, shall we say, patriotic Americans, who love to use the German language when they want to look smart. Only their entire knowledge about all things German (and probably all things European) seems 50-100 years out of date. Which leads to the assumption that Germans are blonde, are called Karl or Hans or Gertrude, and want to rule ze world (hence the gloomy look).
It makes me cringe.
We don't eat that type of sausage up here, personally I'm vegetarian anyway, but I like fish sandwitches and I do make exceptions for them. Just thinking of it makes me want to have one. Mmm. I really should.
Oh, I notice you said Frankfurters - yeah, aren't those pretty much eaten anywhere? I was thinking of the nasty kind of sausage such as this:
