Well it’s Herera, he’s openly anti-communist. It is to be expected that his audience is as well.

I just zoomed on the name
The video is modestly educational, but the presentation is cringeworthy as hell and would make me reluctant to recommend it to anybody. (I can admit that anticommunists have made some brutal and horrific machinery, but I wouldn’t call any of it ‘pretty rad’.)
I mean how can you not shoot WW2 German machine guns without having “Erika” play in the background?
Hmm, I don’t know. By learning more about anticommunist history before firing it, maybe?
(Also, as somebody who occasionally collaborates with game designers one of my biggest pet peeves are the songs, winds, or other noises blaring in the background when I want to clip a recording of a unique sound.)
What is up with internet idiots and song Erika? I don’t even know how it sounds, what’s so special? German music as far as I’m concerned: DDR marches and songs, DDR anthem, communist music, classic music, Moskau and Schiller
What is up with internet idiots and song Erika?
Right?! I’m guessing that it’s because it whitewashes the Nazis. “Oh no, little Hans here totally wasn’t a Nazi, he just wanted to fight for his homeland and protect the beautiful Aryan girl he loved!”.
Virgin Erika vs Chad Monika
I don’t know, but I have noticed that confirmed anticommunists tend to be monomaniacal, if not proud of the few clippings of anticommunist history that they know, like the helicopter rides (that Pinochet preferred for failing personnel), the rumored Gan-Ganowicz quote, or the murder of Inejirō Asanuma, possibly because that’s all they’ve got: their knowledge of their own history rarely extends past these snapshots, so they squeeze as much excitement out of them as they possible can.
